I flew from Madrid to Pamplona, then had the Corazon Puro folks pick me up. I stayed at their albergue for the night and they drove me to SJPP the next morning. I highly recommend this option.

We took the morning Renfe train (7am'ish) from Madrid Atocha station to Pamplona, hopped in a taxi at the Pamplona train station to SJPDP (stopped at a bar the driver knew for coffee and bocadillas on the way) and we in SJPDP by noon'ish same day. Lots of time to check-in at the Pilgrim Office and explore the Citadel in the afternoon. Not the economy way to get from A to B but really convenient and a big time-saver if your days are limited.

We did this trip in June. We flew from Madrid to Biarritz on Iberia and it was only about $50. Then we treated ourselves to a ride on Express Bouricot from Biarritz to SJDP to make it easier since we had been traveling for so long to get there.
