Biarritz Airport to San Sebastian

CF - 2013, 2017, 2022. Next is Sept 2024
I'm planning my 2023 Camino. I finished my latest Camino from SJPP to Santiago earlier this year. I flew into Biarritz Airport and then arranged a transfer to SJPP through Express Bouricot. They were great and the transfer cost me 19 euro.
Next year, I will also likely fly into Biarritz (as it is the most convenient and cheapest alternative). Can anyone tell me what the best (and perhaps most efficient) option to get from the airport to San Sebastian. I have received conflicting information on the web relative to cost of car service and availability of buses so I thought I would ask those that may know best.
many thanks!!
 
New Original Camino Gear Designed Especially with The Modern Peregrino In Mind!
3rd Edition. More content, training & pack guides avoid common mistakes, bed bugs etc
I've done it two different ways, they both work. Method 1 was a Flixbus that leaves from the Biarritz airport, and goes into San Sebastion directly. Method 2 is a train to Hendaye, then walk across the street to the Feve station (An LRT service) that goes into San Sebastion. The bus is a bit easier, because you don't have to get to the train station or change.

As many have said the Alsa bus from Biarritz to San Sebastián is regular and reliable. You can book using their app and even reserve seats and electronic tickets. I have used Alsa from Pamplona and Burgos and can’t fault them. Most routes back to Biarritz route through San Sebastián.
Don’t worry, it’s cheap and reliable.

Last May I walked the first part of the Norte in the opposite direction, from Santander to Irun. Since I only had two weeks and couldn't reach Santiago anyway, I wanted to swim against the tide...
I use Alltrails a lot here in the US, in Iceland, on the Via Podiensis and a bit on the CF. Will it be useful on the Norte? For example, people here say the "warm up" from Biarritz to Irun (or...
I thought I had this all figured out, but I have ended up with 2 train tickets from San Sebastian (I don't even know if it's the airport or the town) to Irun, instead of ONE that goes all the way...
Tomorrow I fly to Bilbao to start my 5th stint on the Camino. I did the Frances in three parts (2016, 2017 and 2022). Last year I did the Portuguese from Porto. I did the first 200 km of the...
