Are you walking the Camino Frances?
If so, are you starting in St Jean Pied de Port?
If yes, you could fly to Paris and get a TGV train to Biarritz and local train to St Jean.
Or, you could fly to London and get a cheap flight on EasyJet to Biarritz.

Yes, Paris is probably more likely.

London can be a pain. There is a seasonal flight to Biarritz with Easyjet from Gatwick, but you'd be more likely to arrive at Heathrow, which would mean changing airports. There's also the Ryanair flight from Stansted that operates year-round.

Alternatively Madrid, from where you could fly/bus/train it to Pamplona or beyond.

Buen Camino!

I am flying from Montreal to Paris (CDG) and then getting a flight with EasyJet to Biarritz. I am staying in Bayonne that night and then getting the early train to SJPDP. My wife flew this route in April and had no problems.

Good luck with your travel plans.

Another option is to fly into Toulouse, France - the train ride is shorter to St Jean Pied de Port than from Paris.

Hi Challenge,
We are flying Air Transat from Calgary to London Gatwick, then Easyjet to Barcelona. When we return, we will fly Easyjet from Madrid to Manchester, then Air Transat Manchester to Calgary. It was cheaper to do a multi-destination flight with Air Transat than a return flight....seems kinda strange to me !
