From Biarritz to Saint Jean next week

[Juwa]

Hi!

I’m walking my first Camino this year, starting next Thursday (5th of July), and was wondering if anyone could tell me the best way to get from Biarritz airport to saint Jean. Or even better, if someone is going on the same day and would like to share a taxi/shuttle

Best,

Julia

Hi, Juwa, and a warm welcome to the forum.

1. https://www.expressbourricot.com/contact-and-booking/ The fee is split between passengers, so a full shuttle runs about 20 Euro per person. It is reservation only, is quite popular, and you need to make a reservation ASAP if you want to be assured a seat.

2. Taxi. Again, the cost is per taxi. so, the more that share, the cheaper it is.

3. Walk to the main airport entrance and look for fellow pilgrims -- packs, shells, patches, anxious expressions . Ask if anyone would like to share a taxi, or if anyone has space to share a ride. I'm sure you'll have no problem getting a few takers.

I took a taxi to Bayonne (20 min ride) and caught the train. If you cannot find a ticket counter open in the early morning at the station or work the French ticket machines (like me) just jump on the train without a ticket and pay the conductor.

We took the bus, took a wee bit longer but it was cheaper even though the initial plan was with a train but they were not running at the time. We picked it up at the bus stand right outside the airport.

Bus one euro outside airport, 15 mins to Bayonne station, train or bus to sjpp whichever is running at time. See previous post below.

Ok thank you so much for all the helpful replies everybody I think I’ll book a shuttle to saint Jean, as I think I’ll be pretty tired upon my arrival. Thank you!
