How easy is it to get there?
Looks like a bus leaves 15 minutes after my 1530hrs arrival. Is that doable?

The bus service from Bilbao airport to San Sebastian is regular and easy to find at the airport. But, unless you're on a national flight with no hold luggage, I think it unlikely you will get through passport control and down to the bus terminal in 15 minutes.

If flying directly to San Sebastián is not an option, better plan on a later bus or spend the night in Bilbao. You can visit museum if not arriving on Monday. Catch first bus to SB and you can still get in the first stage.

You’d also have to be in the front row of the plane! Bilbao is a small airport, but Spanish buses leave on time and 15 minutes from the posted arrival time of a flight makes it a huge unknown. I’d say you have a chance, but it’s dependent upon so many variables that you shouldn’t plan on it.
