Hi, I am from Canada and my brother is from South Africa. We plan to walk the Camino in September. Any recommendation on fligts to take from CDG ir there should be a railway strike at that time?

There is an EasyJet flight to Bairitz BIQ around 1100 each day. I’m catching that on 18 Sep then the bus (short distance apparently) to Bayonne (overnight there) then local train or bus or taxi to SJPDP. Good luck.

Adiel, Bewdy. Keep you eyes out for a ‘much-older-than-you-I’m-sure’ Aussie. I recommend using the ‘Skyscanner’ app for all flight bookings. Very comprehensive and cheap flights available. Cooee Shep.

Skyscanner is just a search engine that makes money from linking to some dubious ticket sellers.

If not Skyscanner, what do you recommend I use then?

Use Skyscanner or Google Flights to compare schedules and fares, then book directly with the airline.

Never had a bad experience with them. Even with small local airlines in places like Cambodia and Laos. But even if you do not book through Skyscanner it is good to research what is available. Caveat Emptor always. Cooee.

And .....fingers crossed that my Skyscanner booking will get me from Oz to SJPDP, and back. Good luck to us all.
