[Moderator moved from another thread]from Miami to Madrid
Hi Cindy, Yes direct flight from Miami to Madrid with Air Europa this time but also have done Iberia in the past. I book flights whenever I see a good price. Sometimes months in advance. Check very regularly. Miami is often the cheapest airport to get to Madrid. I never did the North way but normally take the train from Madrid Atocha (which you can reach by an easy train from the airport, I think there are even youtube video's on this ) to Pamplona after staying in Madrid 1 night to recover from jet lag. Then from Pamplona you can take the bus to SJPDP. But not sure about the North. On Omio.com you can book lots of transfers. Keep in mind that busses and trains often don't become available to book until several weeks prior to date.dutchwalkagain: Unrelated to the pole traveling concerns; I can't figure my travel from USA to Spain. Can you provide insight. I read you fly from Miami to Madrid: is this a direct flight ticket? How do you get from Madrid to the beginning of the Norte Way if indeed that is where you have begun your journey in previous Camino walks?
Thank you, while I am an experienced backpacker in USA, outside of the US is a new experience for me and no idea how to plan,

Leaving this coming Thurs. out of Arkansas. Flying to Madrid then to Bilbao. We are doing a 2-night stay in Bilbao then busing to Irun. We taking earliest bus to Irun then walk to Pasajes, stay overnite and finish next day to San Sebastian. Or you can take later bus and stay overnite in Irun and do the entire walk to San Sebastian in one day. At least that's the plan right now.[Moderator moved from another thread]

I am flying Toronto to Madrid overnight of May 8 arriving 11am May 9. I then have an Iberia airline flight at 4pm arriving Irun at 5pm. I begin walking May 10. I looked at the train but found it would take too long. Hope that helps.[Moderator moved from another thread]

There are direct flights from Dallas on Iberia. When I walked the Norte I booked a flight to San Sebastian, through Madrid. To get your connection it is a long walk. If it is tight make sure you make the flight attendant aware that you have a connection. I was given a pass that allowed me to skip to the head of the line at customs and also when I went through security again to get to my flight to San Sebastian. I stayed there for 2 days to recover. It is a beautiful city and a great place to eat and relax and get over jet lag. The third day I took the short train raid from to Irun. Got there a little early to make sure I got a bed in the albergue. Left the next morning. There may be cheaper ways to go for sure. I do not know from Dallas. That is how I did it and it was really easy.How do you get from Madrid to the beginning of the Norte Way if indeed that is where you have begun your journey in previous Camino walks?
We flew Denver to Paris, Paris to Biarritz, took a bus from the airport to Hendaye France, quick hop. Walked 2 kilometers from there to Irun where we started. Simple really.[Moderator moved from another thread]

I always fly into Madrid, as round trip tickets to and from there have always been the most economical for me traveling from the east coast. I am in NC and have never flown from Miami, usually the flights I’ve taken leave from somewhere in the NE, either Philadelphia or one of the NY/NJ airports.[Moderator moved from another thread]

Same, same. Easy Peasy. I love staying a night in Paris. So much to see and do while walking off jet lag. Nice train ride to Hendaye too.I flew to Paris, stayed two days to acclimatize, and then took the train to Hendaye....the end of the TGV line. A 30 minute walk from the TGV station, I was at the start of the Norte in Irun, which is literally the same metro area as Hendaye.
I flew from Denver to and out of Frankfurt from there we flew to Bilbao and took a bus and Train to Irun where we started our journey.[Moderator moved from another thread]
