I'll be flying to Madrid on 22 April, and will probably start walking on the 24th.
For some reason business class was cheaper than economy, so I'll enjoy a litte luxury on the way out.

Enjoy the luxury before the Camino -- but really, the Camino de Madrid has such great pilgrim accommodation that you may think you've embarked on a Business Class Camino! Buen camino, Laurie

Hi Rob, I'm sure you'll pass me at some point about half-way along the Madrid. Wave as you pass!
Buen Camino,
Terry

I have been patiently watching air fares for the last couple of months for my April trans-Atlantic trip, but the low oil price and the threat of world-wide recession have not affected the air fare so far.
I wonder why. Does anyone know?
