    Unfortunate, but true...

    I completely agree with @peregrino_tom Save St Jean Pied de Port to Burgos for a future trip with your wife. I think that it will be a better experience for both of you if it's all brand new and wondrous.

    Thoughts/suggestions for flights from NYC to Porto?

    I live on the west coast, but I've had a couple of direct United flights to Newark from Porto. I have also flown on TAP Porto - Lisbon - San Francisco. I was able to choose my seat even though I booked through the United website.

    Can I pack my small multi tool in carry on luggage (backpack)?

    What are the prohibitions flying from Sweden? That's where your backpack will initially be scrutinized. There may not be another check of your carry-on bag before you board the flight in Paris.

    I think that you will have to rely on daily luggage transfer.

    Train Santiago to Porto

    I also prefer trains, but the trip on the bus is shorter, so I've taken the bus from Santiago to Porto twice. The buses are very comfortable, and the ride is not that long.
