Hi Beeker....on Wed 28 Aug Im catching Ryanair from Stansted to Biarritz. Have you booked in your backpack? I didnt want to pay the extra pounds to book in luggage but now am fretting that it maybe too big to take on as hand luggage!? Its 35l backpack and will have 2 walking poles that collapse down. Does anyone know if Ryanair is strict about their cabin luggage?Hi Jill
I am flying into Biarritz with Ryanair from Dublin on 28th and also leaving SJDP on 29th so will keep an eye out for you along the way! Just doing a last few bits and pieces this week. Starting to feel a little anxious but excited to get started. Looks like we will have quite a few leaving the same morning according to the calendar (link below)
Buen Camino

Safe journey.

Hi Ros...am coming from JHB South Africa and also starting from SJPDP on Thurs 29th. Where in Australia are you from? My sister lives in Melbourne!! Will look out for your camino badge and red Deutar pack!I also arrive SJPDP on Aug 28th and heading out early on the 29th. Sounds like there's going to be quite a crowd which is great.
See you all soon.
Buen Camino.

Thanks so much for your insight....Im feeling more relaxed now! Youve reminded me to print my Ryanair boarding pass. Will do so now.hello rose,
welcome to the forum.
i don't believe you are going to have any problem with ryanair to take on your rucksack as cabin baggage.. i took the same flight the previous may from stansted to biarritz with a 35l lowe alpine air zone 35 centro rucksack. just make sure it does not exceed 10 kilos. you can also check the size at the cage in the airport before you go to the boarding gate. since you already have your printed boarding pass, you do not have to go to the check in counter. just go directly to the boarding gate.
buen camino and god bless.
Hi there - went onto the Orisson site and tried to book again...will hopefully get a reply tomorrow! Thanks for the heads up!I sent an email...will try again!
