Thanks for the information.nreyn12 said:If you catch the bus directly from the Madrid airport, bus line Conda, you have a couple of choices for getting to Pamplona in time to catch the 6:00pm bus to Roncesvalles (if it's Monday-Friday). If it is a Saturday, that bus leaves at 4:00pm.
7:05am, plus I assume 60-90 minutes through immigration.jpflavin1 said:Koilife: What is the date and time you are arriving?
The Vueling connection time (5-6 hours) was prohibitive and Iberia cost (>$300/ticket) make it cheaper and easier to open jaw into Paris and ride train to Bayonne, overnight in Bayonne and catch the early train to SJP.jpflavin1 said:You could fly Madrid to San Sebastian. Vueling and Iberia have Sunday flights. Then take a cab or bus to Bayonne and the local train to SJPdP. It will cost $140 to $300. dollars to fly.
I've considered the train to Pamplona with local taxi to SJP---it's by far the cheapest option, absent a train/bus that gets me there, and does save me the day---but I am also inclined not to reward the Pamplona taxi drivers who lobbied and shut down the Express Bouricott service in the first place. It might just be my free-market mentality showing, but I dislike protectionism being used to stifle entrepreneurship and service to the customer.hueppi said:I have a connecting flight from Madrid to Pamplona in the afternoon late April. From there I will opt for a taxi.

A lot of changes, but doable in a day.
koilife said:Any other options specifically for a Sunday transit?
I'd already checked the train route to Bayonne, but given my arrival time and having to go through immigration, and then the need to get to the train station, I can't make it in time for the morning train sequence.skilsaw said:I waited in Bayonne for some Camino Amigos who went from Madrid through Bayonne to SJPP in one day. I think they only had to change trains twice. A travel agent in the USA booked their tickets.
Helicopter? :wink:koilife said:Any other suggestions for consideration in late May?
Are you the pilot? :roll:fraluchi said:Helicopter? :wink:
vinsman said:I fly into Madrid from the US arriving at 8:35am on April 2nd. After I collect my luggage I will take an airport express bus (Yellow) which runs every 15 minutes from the airport to the Atocha train station the trip takes between 30 and 60 minutes depending on traffic. Cost is 5euro. My train departs for Pamplona at 11:35am and arrives at 2:40pm. I have arranged for at taxi through Taxi Pamplona to take me to SJPP. I hope to arrive in SJPP by 4:00pm. Then a quick stop in the pilgrims office and off to Orrison for the night. And it begins!
