BIQ questions

[TinaPEI]

Hi Everyone,

This second Camino seems to be a go, even though I am far from ready! (1st Camino 2016, 2nd attempted 2019, needed surgery then tried for 2020). I still don't have shoes! Lol

I arrive in Biarritz on July 3rd just after noon via Dublin. Trying to decide between Express Bourricot and the train. So far no one has booked and 130€ is a lot for this Canadian. I believe I have to go through Passport Control in Biarritz. I think there is a train at 14:22. Would I be able to make that train?

Merci/Thanks/Gracias and Buen Camino!!!

PS I ordered some Euros today!!! So excited!.

Very small airport. I think you will make the train or there is another one later if you are delayed. Take the bus into town to the train station.

If you are at the back of the passport control queue it can take up to 40 minutes to get through. When you get off the plane try and get ahead of as many people as possible. There will be lots of families coming to stay in the area.

Rome2Rio gives you the options for public transport other than Express Bourricot

This breaks down to http://www.txiktxak.fr for the bus route/times from the airport to the train station (Lines 3 or 4)

And https://www.sncf-connect.com/en-en/ for the train (or replacement bus) service from Biarritz station. You should be able to buy your ticket online if you download the app.

Your flight arrives at 12:20 so 2 hours to clear BIQ and get into town seems plenty. If in doubt, get a taxi from the airport to the train station to give you more time.

You can take the bus, and make the train. Be quick about it. Also you can check gate area prior to leaving for other pilgrims willing to share a ride, or at arrival area. I have done both successfully

Leave the airport and turn left. Walk to the bus-station. Take the bus Nr. 4 to Bayonne trainstation (Place de la Republique/Boulevard Alsace Lorraine). Ride the train with your fellow pilgrims. Have fun getting to know your co-walkers.

Sundays only 2 trains!
