I would fly. Adding Madrid-Pampona and Santiago-Madrid (or wherever you wind up) frequently adds very little to the cost of the round trip ticket. That will be true primarily for those who fly on the One World Alliance, Iberia, American, BA, etc, because naturally most of the intra-Spain flights are Iberia. I got this tip years ago from a forum member and it has made my caminos much more enjoyable and usually gives me two extra days that I would ordinarily have to spend traveling.Hi, if I do a search for “Madrid to Pamplona” in the top right search box I get threads that are several years old.
So . . . .
. . . . could anyone please advise the easiest way to get from Madrid airport to Pamplona post covid?
Many thanks!
I’ve done it in 1-15 when I didn’t need to. If I had a train ticket booked I’d allow 2-30.I was looking at Rome to Rio on how to get to Pamploma in a reasonable amount of time. I plan on taking the train to Atocha then train to Pamploma. My plane lands at 0830am. How much time should I allow from landing and to getting to the train station? I would like to book my train ahead of time.
Alsa runs a bus directly from Barajas to Pomplona - about 30+euro, 5 hours. Looks like there are two or three per day.Hi, if I do a search for “Madrid to Pamplona” in the top right search box I get threads that are several years old.

I did this in September 2021. I bought my train ticket for departure from Atocha 5 hours after scheduled arrival of my plane to Barajas. This gave me some slack in case my flight was delayed. However, it wasn't delayed and I had 2 hours to kill prior to train departure. That gave me time to walk out of the terminal and buy some euros and a sandwich for lunch.I was looking at Rome to Rio on how to get to Pamploma in a reasonable amount of time.

I used ALSA bus in Sept. 2021 and it was very easy. Bus leaves from Terminal 4; change buses at Zaragoza, and into Pamplona by late afternoon. Buses were clean, on time, everything well-organized.Hi, if I do a search for “Madrid to Pamplona” in the top right search box I get threads that are several years old.

That’s what we always did. Fly to Pamplona at basically no extra cost and hassle!I would fly.

I have taken the bus from Terminal 4, the train from Atocha, and flown on Iberia on three different Caminos. I definitely would recommend the flight. One-way flights to Pamplona are relatively inexpensive and much more convenient for me.Hi, if I do a search for “Madrid to Pamplona” in the top right search box I get threads that are several years old.

I think that the easiest and cheapest is to take the train from the airport to the Atocha train station and then get on the regional train to Pamplona. It’s a pleasant and scenic ride. Travel by bus takes far longer and air travel is expensive and simply doesn’t match the frequency required and connections are poor.Hi, if I do a search for “Madrid to Pamplona” in the top right search box I get threads that are several years old.

I’ve done this twice, arrived at T4 went to Alsa bus also in T4. Easy Peasy!Alsa runs a bus directly from Barajas to Pomplona - about 30+euro, 5 hours. Looks like there are two or three per day.
Oh, so good to see you @annakappa — I actually think that tip came from YOU!! Buen camino, LaurieThat’s what we always did. Fly to Pamplona at basically no extra cost and hassle!
Only one heads up, which you may already know. If you book your international flight and your Madrid-Pamplona flight separately, if your flight into Madrid is delayed and you miss the flight to Pamplona, it’s on you. If it’s all one ticket, the airlines has to rebook and get you there.OK, looking at the flights . . . not bad, E60 one way in January . . .
We did the train, but I understand there is also a flight that connects the two.Hi, if I do a search for “Madrid to Pamplona” in the top right search box I get threads that are several years old.

Rome to Rio should be everybody's first suggestion when people ask these type of questions. They seem to have the best software. But It's confusing that the train option says once a day, but when you look at the schedule, it lists 8 departure times. So maybe a few glitches yet....Not difficult:

Yup. I linked to it in the first reply on this thread.Rome to Rio should be everybody's first suggestion when people ask these type of questions. They seem to have the best software.

That happened to me once on a domestic connection with separate bookings. Luckily they were nice, and the next flight wasn't full, so they changed it for free. But now I'll only book one itinerary.Only one heads up, which you may already know.

I have seen a very tearful young woman who missed her international flight home from Madrid because her earlier flight (on a separate ticket) had been late. Not only did she lose whatever she had paid for 1/2 of her international ticket, but she also had to buy a new, one way, last minute flight to get home. It was a very expensive lesson, and though the ticket agent felt bad for her, there was no accommodation offered.
Losing a 60€ ticket would of course not be as catastrophic.
I scrolled right past that post, silly me.Yup. I linked to it in the first reply on this thread.
