Twice they have delivered my luggage to my hotel in Santiago. After filling in forms, they suddenly speak no English about compensation for incidentals, delays, etc. After the "merger" with British Airways, they have become very poor at customer service. They probably would deliver to Pamplona; SJPdP may be another matter, since it crosses national borders, and they will do no more than the bare minimum (in my estimation).does Iberia, (nee Air Nordstrum,) deliver lost luggage
I flew Iberia from Boston to Pamplona with a switch to Air Nostrum, which is a codeshare with Iberia, in Madrid. In Boston, I was able to check in my bag (not my backpack which I carried on just in case) through to Pamplona. Do label inside and out, and possibly include an address clearly noted as as a final destination. I am not sure Iberia would deliver a lost bag to St. Jean, but you should call and ask. Best thing is to have everything valuable and essential to start your camino in your backpack, and carry-on the pack. Buen camino!Of necessity, planning on checking in backpack, held in shipping sack, while traveling to the CF in late April, 2016. Coming from the USA, via Philadelphia, Madrid and Pamplona. Each segment requires a transfer to another aircraft, or airline. Concerned about potential delay in the pack's arrival in Pamplona. Will identify contents with name and home address, but do not want the pack to be sent back the USA, as I begin the Camino. Does it make sense to put a tag on on it to convey a final destination? What are the suggestions to facilitate it's delivery? Lastly, does Iberia, (nee Air Nordstrum,) deliver lost luggage to it's passengers in Spain, or STJPdP? Buen Camino!
Why can you not carry your bag on board? I think it might cause you too much angst to check it- not what you want to start your Camino. I just wrapped mine in its rain cover. Worked out perfect.

Because your last section is a national flight, are you sure you dont have to collect your bags in madrid and re-check them in Madrid for your flight to Pamlona? It might be the case if your last section is with a low budget carrier (vueling, iberia express ect...).
Actually, Ostabat is the point of convergence!It is the juncture where the various northern routes coming out of northern Europe converge before heading over the Pyrenees
If your bag with all your necessities doesn't arrive as planned, I presume you will either delay your start or you will go out and buy all the equipment again. Can you not take your backpack on board with most of your things, only checking a small disposable bag with the not-checkable items? Then you might decide to go on to SJPP with the essentials, and you will pass through Pamplona again in a few days. Or at least it would reduce the number of new purchases you need to make.do not want the pack to be sent back the USA, as I begin the Camino.

A day before SJPdP. There is a stone marker at the point of convergence (Le Puy, Vezelay, and Tours).Where is that, relative to St. Jean?
