Due to 4 hour Ryanair delay I missed my flight from Dublin to Biarritz today 22/08/23. My mate caught the flight and will walk tomorrow.
I've booked a flight early tomorrow and would like to travel to Roncesvalles tomorrow to catch up with him
Any suggestions on the best option?
Cheers Paul

If you can make it, there is a bus at 13:45 from St.Jean to Roncesvalles.

Other than Taxi, i don't see many other options.

Hi Paul

Someone else may come along with better suggestion. From what I can see the easiest is to go from Biarritz airport to Bayonne station (less than 10 kms) and take the train to SJPP. Check which ones are running as there are a couple of cancellations tomorrow. From SJPP the bus to Roncesvalles.


Ooops @Anhalter has just mentioned the bus as well.

Edit to add. SNCF site showing train from Bayonne to SJPP tomorrow at 12.35 arriving 13.40pm. Cutting it fine for 13.45 bus. Earlier train is from Bayonne is 8.52am. If your flight is early enough, that would be a good one.

Or contact / book with Express Bourricot who will likely be picking up from Biarritz airport tomorrow.

Good luck - I hope you get to the starting gate in good heart tomorrow.

These are the times for tomorrow according to Rome2Rio. Bus to Bayonne and then train to SJPP by far seems like the best bet. The walk from the City Hall in Bayonne to the train station is 750 meters. There is also a bus you can take if you don't like walking haha.

It's going to be hot today so make sure you have plenty of water, especially if you are rushing about.

Thanks to the advice here. I managed to catch up with my friend at Roncesvalles.
Express Bourricot from Biarritz airport got me to Sjpdp in plenty of time to catch the 1:45 coach to Roncesvalles. It goes between Sjpdp and Pamplona.
The bus stop is not very obvious. It's almost opposite hotel restaurant des ramparts.
