    Pros & Cons of One-way Flights

    So I just booked my round trip flight to Spain for this spring from Florida. The RT main cabin cost was $940. A one way ticket to Spain on the same flight was $740 and a one way return ticket on the same flight is was $3,683…. Yes that’s right. I go to Spain annually and haven’t been willling to...

    Planes & Poles … recent revision?

    I agree. Won’t leave home without my Pacer Poles. Buen Camino

    Planes & Poles … recent revision?

    So as we all know the debate of taking your poles from your home country comes up often and the consensus is that is not a “ one size fits all answer”, but I would add that while you may get them to SJPdP you will most likely not take them on at the Santiago airport when you return home. Also...

    Easter Travel and late check-in help

    This is a very popular time to walk. Guessing that you don’t have any reservations. If you plan to stop in Orisson, you need to try to get a reservation (Borda was booked last time I looked.) If you are walking to Roncevalles in one day, you should make a reservation as you will arrive late. I...

    Advice on itinerary please

    I have a taxi lined up for March 29th. If interested send me a message and we can contact the transport company to make sure they haven’t filled the other spots.

    Pamplona to SJPDP, March 28, 2023

    My flight arrives at 1:25 on March 28th in Pamplona. I have decided to spend the night and head to SJPdP on the 29th. After 3 flights I think I will need to rest. I have lined up a taxi for the 29th if you are interested.

    Advice on itinerary please

    Check flights from SFO to Biarritz, France (take Bouricott transport to SJPdP/arrange ahead) Depart from Madrid after taking fast train from Santiago. Looks like Air France will do this and much quicker than the travel time you have.

    Pamplona to St Jean PdP by bus

    In 2022, there was only a noon bus. This made it necessary to either spend the night in Pamplona or take a taxi service. I just booked for 119 euro for end of March. They can sometimes match you with a couple of other pilgrims. I am not sure when the schedule comes out, but was told (not...

    Bag transfer from Albergue in Roncesvalles to Zubiri

    may be…. But I don’t think anyone should worry about it. There is bag transport and wherever they stay will know who the provider is, how to contract and where to pick it up. This is one of those subjects that is generally overthought 😀😀 I do want to add that while many municipal and a few...

    Bag transfer from Albergue in Roncesvalles to Zubiri

    It is interesting that Jacotrans shows that it can transport form France. On all my Camino's pilgrims had to use Bouricott transport for their walk from France into Spain. It looks like they do go to Burgette. https://www.expressbourricot.com/fr/tranport-bagages/

    Bag transfer from Albergue in Roncesvalles to Zubiri

    I have a ways used Jacotrans. On my first in 2 Camino in 2015 a bag had to picked up and dropped off at La Posada. Then in 2016 the Albergue starting accepting bag transport and they could be dropped off at the municipal Albergue. I haven’t stayed in Roncevalles subsequently. So people...

    One Way Ticket

    For most carriers from the US (like Delta and American) they eliminated the change fees in 2020. I was also able to buy a ticket that was refundable for just a little bit more for the trip I’m on now.

    One Way Ticket

    I personally don’t see the advantage in a one way ticket now that they don’t have change fees. When I have priced it out from the US, the flight home was three to four times the price of a round trip. I believe price wise you would be better to guess at a return date and change it if needed. I...

    Starting CF in Astorga?

    Looks like you are from the US. I suspect you will be flying through Madrid to get to Santiago. In that case going to Santiago is an extra step. I suggest you train from Madrid to Leon. Spend a day or two recovering from jet lag and seeing this beautiful city. You can then go on to Astorga. Keep...

    Travel Health Insurance?

    Be careful with this. They usually require you to include all non-refundable cost to be covered.

    Travel Health Insurance?

    Yes, definitely buy travel insurance and it is best to buy when or close to when you purchase your plane ticket. There are generally pre-existing clauses that apply if you wait more than 14 days. Most people tend to think of travel insurance for lost luggage or delayed flights. I don't care...

    Best way to get from O Cebreiro to Sarria?

    I could definitely think of two other walking days I would give up. I think the walk from O'Cebreiro to Sarria is beautiful. Some other suggestions for saving two walking days: 1) The walk out of Leon through the industrial is one of my least favorite. You could start in La Virgen del Camino...

    Time to get through customs and immigration

    I would do a little more research and ask those who have traveled within the last 6 months. I was there in October and my advice would be different than if I based it on prior Camino’s. It took me much longer to get through immigration (over an hour) and the buses were full due to reduced...
