Yes, jet-lag can be an issue. I recommend you fly with either Asiana or Korean airlines. They leave Australia in the morning, landing in Seoul late afternoon. You are then taken to a very nice hotel nearby to enjoy an excellent room, delicious buffet dinner and breakfast, all included in the fare whichever class you fly. Towards lunchtime you are returned to the airport. Wherever you fly in Europe you leave early afternoon arriving at your destination late afternoon. No jet-lag! Both airlines are very good!I'm planning my 2nd Camino starting in May. My plan is to fly direct (via Singapore) to Paris arriving at 7.30am and then onto St Jean on the same day. Overnight in St Jean and start walking the next day to Orisson.
I'd be interested to hear from pilgrims that have done this and how jet-lag affected them.
Thanks in advance.
I admire your courage. I’ve done 3 Camino’s including the Frances and I’ve always allowed several days to adjust and acclimatise. I fly from Australia too. Good luck, though if you have time I’d allow three days from A to B before you start hiking over the Pyrenees.
Have done that from Australia, no jet lag. I guess everyones different though! Thusual - drink plenty of water, avoid alcohol and caffeine during the flight, sunlight as soon as you can. I hope it goes well for you. Buen Camino & Ultreia!
While I have done that route, it’s a long way and a long time traveling. Any delay on route can impact total journey time. I had 2 nights in St Jean, lucky for me as we were delayed and it allowed me to have an extra day exploring St Jean. Sorry lucky I booked an extra night.

I think you’ll be so excited jet lag won’t be an issue but you’ll want to go to the pilgrims office in st jean on that day after you get settled wherever you stay.I'm planning my 2nd Camino starting in May.

Am I wrong in assuming that you have never done a direct Australia-Europe flight before? I have done it nearly 20 times and have had jet lag each time. Recovery time varies but please budget at least 2 nights in Paris, preferably 3. You will likely experience a buzzing head and incredible sudden-onset tiredness during that time, and you will be grateful to have a warm private hotel bed at your immediate disposal.I'm planning my 2nd Camino starting in May.

I've done three FCs leaving Australia from Sydney and going via London, Paris, and lastly Barcelona arriving in St John once and Pamplona twice. I arrived late afternoon and left early next morning with no jetlag. The advice regarding fluids and limiting alcohol intake is sound. I also ensure that I sleep during a good part of the flight. Coming back as being the same experience. I'll be starting my fourth French Camino leaving Australia on 28 February going to Pamplona via Barcelona and returning from Santiago via Madrid.I'm planning my 2nd Camino starting in May.
