Bilbao Airport works too. Vueling flies direct to London Gatwick. Train from Logrono to Bilbao Airport.My first thought is to head for Biarritz from logrono and get a flight?
I’m sorry for your loss.This is a little bit of a long shot but only hope of saying goodbye to some great new friends who I will no longer see.
I started the camino on the 13th May At SJPDP and this morning was due to leave Logroño.
But this morning I have been informed my Dad died in the early hours in the UK and my camino has now just ended.
Enjoyed every minute of my camino and sad it has to end. I am trying to get back to the UK ASAP if anyone has any suggestions?

What a lovely, generous person you are! Bless you!@grumpygit, this is sad news. My condolences.
Having travelled from and to various starting points and endpoints on the Camino Francés myself and also having organised this for family members from the UK, here are the options I can think of, assuming that you want to return to London and any London airport is ok:
Flights from Madrid, Bilbao and Biarritz are good options. I would tend to regard Madrid as the best option. There are currently available flights from all these three airports to London, even late this afternoon Friday 19 May. easyJet and Iberia Express from Madrid, Vueling from Bilbao and a very late (21:35 departure) Ryanair flight from Biarritz.
There are Alsa buses from Logroño to Madrid Barajas airport, duration is 4 hours. There is one direct bus this afternoon at 15:00, the 16:00 is fully booked, and there are others that go to Madrid but without a stop at the airport. More buses, obviously, on Saturday tomorrow.
There appear to be no direct Alsa buses from Logroño to the airports of Bilbao and Biarritz. From memory, various combinations of two bus connections are a good option but I did not check how suitable their schedules are for your situation. Taxi from Logroño to Bilbao is an option (1h 30 m, apparently in the €150 region).
Please let us know if we can provide more specific practical help.
Purky! Have not seen you for ages! Last time telling us about somebody who died - cannot remember. How are you doing? Sorry, not the subject of this thread.....Bilbao Airport works too. Vueling flies direct to London Gatwick. Train from Logrono to Bilbao Airport.
My condolences.
So sorry to hear that. You will be able to finish it another day. I interrupted mine at Burgos 5 years ago and finished this year! It was still wonderfulThis is a little bit of a long shot but only hope of saying goodbye to some great new friends who I will no longer see.

Be with your people. Later, decide next steps. Prayer for you all.Thanks for all the lovely messages.
Sadly none of the many people I met on the camino know I am no longer with them because of the rush to leave.
Was looking forward to ending the walking next month with many of them.
Now in San Sebastian(now 7am) and now just need to get to biarritz where I have a flight today
May your dad rest in peace! Sorry you had to end your camino thus way. Return to walk in his memory sometime maybe.This is a little bit of a long shot but only hope of saying goodbye to some great new friends who I will no longer see.

Good to read that you managed so swiftly.Returned to the UK last night to a perfect Spring British evening and a reflective drive home with a perfect sunset. Woke up early this morning as it seems my body is still on Camino timing/modeand was ready to take up a 10 kg rucksack.
Sadly I have not heard from anyone I was talking to on the pilgrimage, they will all be around the Belorado region right now, I suppose some of us thought there would be plenty of time for swapping numbers later.
Big part of this Camino for me was the hope of dealing with some serious issues I had with my Dad and the fact we rarely talked since my wonderful Mothers death several years ago.
Seems ironic that he would be the reason that this important Camino for myself would be cancelled because of him.
Anyway, thanks for the help and advice and kind words and it's now time for me to start making plans for the coming week and hopefully I will return to Northern Spain one day x
