Be creative! I'm Canadian and generally fly out of Vancouver but on my first camino I flew out of Portland and then to London before going on into Madrid where I began in Pamplona. (I took an Alsa bus from Madrid to Pamplona). My second camino I flew into Paris via London, changed airlines and flew into Bilbao for a St Jean start. Last week I booked my flights for my April camino where I'll resume where I left my 2016 camino by going to Estella. I chose a combination of flights and bus tickets to get me where I'm going to. I got the best airline prices by flying into Dublin, changing airlines and then on to Madrid where I'll catch the Alsa bus to Logrono and a local bus back to Estella. My point being the most direct flight is not always (hardly ever IMHO) the best way to go when trying to save money. I saved a lot of money on this route using different airlines and buses. Granted, I do have a bit of a layover in Dublin but it is such a beautiful city I don't mind at all. My advise, be creative and I recommend using Google Flights for finding the best pricing and trending prices. If you're not in a hurry to get where you're going to you can save $.
