Fly to Asturias or Santander airport to get to Leon?
I’m flying into Madrid and taking train to León. The fewer airports I see the better so I’d recommend go with the closest airport that lets you fly direct and train from there. Have fun on your Camino.- curtc757

Fly with equipment as a carry on.
Update 2: The bag was eventually found. I got it back one week to the day AFTER I returned from the Camino. It was being held at my airport of origin by an airline that I didn't travel on. Thankfully they called.- curtc757

Fly with equipment as a carry on.
Update. Just got back from a two week Camino stage. Carried my pack but checked a duffel with walking poles and a one man tent. The duffel never made it to France and they are still bumbling around trying to find it now that I am home. My lightly packed Gregory 58l went with me on each plane and...- curtc757

Flying into Paris at 3pm - any tips on how to get to SJPP without losing days?
I flew from there to bayonne then shared a cab with other pilgrims. That worked fairly well and is pretty easy if they don't loose your luggage (don't check it if you're not prepared to loose it). They lost my checked bag tent and hiking poles. Thank God I carried the pack aboard.- curtc757

My 58L pack has already flown internationally but you go ahead and check yours sanguinely if you like. To each his (or her) own. "Full" was not a word I used. When it's not "full", it fits in the size checker at the airports just fine. I also put mine into a size small Osprey Airporter (50L)...- curtc757

There is ZERO reason not to carry on your pack. My 58L fits easily in the international overhead. For smaller planes you can tag and check at the gate. Just don't overpack and stay within the dimension limits (it's okay to squish the pack to fit but you have to stay within weigh limits). When...- curtc757

Flying with your pack
I carried a Gregory Savant 58 onboard to Italy last year without problems. Osprey sells flight bags to zip around your pack to contain all the straps and cords, and I used that just in case they wanted to make me check it. I was packed much heavier than I will be for the Camino so I will do the...- curtc757
