Best options from Orly to SJPdP

[djudal]

I'm arriving at Orly at 1 p.m. There are a 1:15 and a 19:15 flight I can take to Biaritz. I'm thinking it would be wise to take the 19:15 flight, spend the night in Bayone, and leave for SJPdP the next morning. This will be August 29-30. Is this the best option or are there others that I should consider?

There is also an Air France flight to Biarritz at 14:15 (2:15pm).

It would be great if I can take that. I'm just wondering about having to go through immigration, as my plane is coming in from the U.S. and touching down at Orly. Will I have enough time to catch this flight, you think? I haven't yet booked this leg as I'm not sure which option is best. Thanks!

All I can say is that my flight arrives in Orly from Seattle at 12:55pm, and I am booked on that hop to BIQ. Things typically go smoothly in getting through customs, and so I am fine with the scheduled departure to Biarritz.

Thanks! Have you done this before to know that there shouldn't be any problem? I'm so hoping this schedule will work! I wouldn't be so hesitant if this was a domestic flight in the US, but am unfamiliar w/Orly airport.

Yes... though to other European regional destinations. It is the norm for things to go quick and smoothly; but I won't guarantee that something atypical might happen. As I said, for me with the same basic time frame, I'm on that flight in September.

You did not mention if you have checked baggage or just carry-on. I only do carry-on, so there's no waiting for baggage claim, I go right to the gate to catch my hop after clearing customs.

Thanks! I have my backpack carryon. Do you know if the BIQ flight to SJPdP will allow this to be a carryon?
