That's what I did, but I wouldn't recommend it for my part of the world. Depends when you are walking I guess, but basically I finished walking just as all the French were leaving Paris for their summer hols, and I couldn't get a changed booking within three weeks. I decided to head out to CDG and try standby - by that time I had managed to get a confirmed flight out of Singapore to Auckland, which gave me higher priority somehow on the standby thing. But I was just lucky. I think next time I will over-estimate, but have something definite 'up my sleeve' for when I finish. Trouble was, once I had finished walking the Camino, I never felt like being a 'tourist' anywhere, and really just wanted to head home. Not sure how others manage if they have that feeling.Whizzer said:How do you judge the time I would need to do the whole trail? I see people do it 23 to 27 to 32 days. Now how do fig out about give time to get to the airport? Do I over date the ticket and do a standby at the airport?
