    Paris to SJPDP - Train Delays due to Strikes and Protests?

    Any word on air strikes ? Like air traffic controllers or Air France? I fly via Paris the 28/29th then on to Biarritz. Train was my backup plan. I cannot read French but this website suggests a single airline Veuling strikes on April 28, 29, 30, and May 1st. I cannot find whether Air France will...

    French rail strikes March 2023

    I have no advice, in the same boat. May I ask where you are seeing this information on the specific airports though? I fly at the end of April.

    High speed train Santiago to Madrid

    Haha, I hope you are right though. It seems strange for those trains (10 trains a day?) to be full up months in advance, but maybe Spaniards love them some June train action

    High speed train Santiago to Madrid

    LOL every train Santaigo to Madrid June 1st to June 4th is sold out. Am I not going to get back to Madrid for my flight out ?

    French rail strikes March 2023

    That is a good thought. I hadn't considered the public perception aspect. I guess I'll wait a bit and see. Macron just used the nuclear option to push it through, but i really don't know the feelings of the french people or the resolve of the unions. Some say the french are resigned to the age...

    French rail strikes March 2023

    I'm an American so I don't know anything about how Europeans celebrate holidays except what i read on Wikipedia

    French rail strikes March 2023

    Scheduling strikes in advance is more convenient. How much of a lead time did the air traffic controllers in France give for the strikes on March 7-9th? I've been trying to find something. My ticket is refundable so it is possible I could cancel it (US to Paris to BIQ) and just fly into...

    French rail strikes March 2023

    Right, Im just hoping I can get from Atlanta to Paris if there is a strike. If it is an overseas Air France plane, or if air traffic controllers strike at the end of April, who knows if I can even get into France from the US. Lots of weird unknowns !

    French rail strikes March 2023

    10 hrs by bus sounds miserable. Why did I book through Air France to Paris ? I should have just flown straight to Madrid then wrestled with buses / trains to St Jean.

    French rail strikes March 2023

    How long does it take by bus to get from CDG to St Jean ?

    French rail strikes March 2023

    Any idea why some trains run and some do not? I am flying in late April via Air France to CDG and if this isn't resolved by then, I'm wondering if there will be a strike and such.

    Bus Service from Madrid to Pamplona - Availability in April 2023

    Rome2rio is a little confusing as it shows only train + rent a car vs only bus. Is the bus station near the train station? Can I do the train to Pamplona then bus to St Jean? How do i get a taxi in spain ? Im a newbie to Spain and such

    Bus Service from Madrid to Pamplona - Availability in April 2023

    Can you tell me how the train goes ? And if there is an easy way from Pamplona to St Jean after? Im planning the same journey i think

    Madrid to St Jean Difficult?

    Is it easier to fly into Madrid and try to get a train and taxi to St Jean Pied de Port, or is it easier to fly to Bilbao near Pamplona and take the bus and train? From what I gather, from Bilbao airport I have to take a bus shuttle to the bus station, take a Flix bus to Bayonne for 3 hours...

    Is 1 hr 15 min layover sufficient at Frankfurt airport for connecting flight to Biarritz with Lufthansa?

    I don't know what a transit connection is. I fly from the US and this would be the first stop in the EU.

    Is 1 hr 15 min layover sufficient at Frankfurt airport for connecting flight to Biarritz with Lufthansa?

    Cool, thanks for all of the replies. Im surprised that LH has all international and Schengen flights at the same terminal but they have that German efficiency i guess. I think I will try to get the longer layover at Paris. If something messes up maybe I can take a train to St Jean for six hours.

    Is 1 hr 15 min layover sufficient at Frankfurt airport for connecting flight to Biarritz with Lufthansa?

    Theoretically it is one ticket. The Google Flights link takes me to United's website and doesn't say anything about separate tickets which it usually does if u have to buy them separate. I haven't bought it yet. I may just buy the more expensive Delta ticket since that has a long layover at...

    Is 1 hr 15 min layover sufficient at Frankfurt airport for connecting flight to Biarritz with Lufthansa?

    This is United to Chicago, then Lufthansa to Frankfurt, then Lufthansa to Biarritz. So Im not sure if they will hold the flight for me with only 1 hr 15 min to get through immigration.
  20. I

    Is 1 hr 15 min layover sufficient at Frankfurt airport for connecting flight to Biarritz with Lufthansa?

    Why would checking a bag increase time needed? Doesn't it just go on the plane?
