    Getting back to Paris from Santiago

    For the record, Vueling/Iberia does sometimes have direct flights from Santiago to Paris (CDG), I remember paying about 200 Euros for mine, but I bought it at the airport 3 hours before the flight.

    Travelling to the Camino...please help

    On Oct 6th, Easyjet has a 1:55 flight from Paris (CDG) to Biarritz (Bayonne), for roughly $150 including one piece of checked baggage (and a carryon). Unless you are emotionally attached to taking the train, this seems like the best option for you. As mentioned in the train description below...

    Hola, if anyone would share some info about return flights.

    I would be careful about what airline you fly with if this is the plan you go with. I tried to change my return date at the last minute with Aer Lingus (whose official change fee was a modest $150 CAN), and the amount they quoted me was so high, it proved cheaper to buy a return ticket (from a...

    Yes, picking up at the station is very simple. All you need is the confirmation code they will send you after you purchase the ticket along with the credit card you used to make the purchase. It is important the card still be active, a cancelled card will cause large problems.

    The challenge with train travel in France is the fact that Paris is the transportation hub for the whole country. So trying to cross the south of France by train is a nightmare as far I can tell. Basically, your choices are either use a mess of secondary train lines (slow, lots of changes), or...

    Cape Town to SJPdP

    Not really an expert, but I did a little poking around. There are direct flights from Cape Town to London and Amstersdam (and Munich, for the record). London would appear to be your best option for a direct flight, but the direct flights are substantially more expensive than options with one or...

    Train from Paris (CDG) to st.jean pied-du-port

    RE: Buying train tickets online If you are from the US, you need to be careful booking train tickets online. When you are filing in the search query, one of the questions asked is the country of ticket collection. If you pick the US, you will be diverted to a subsidiary of SNCF called Rail...
