markss said:Texas to SJPP - easy enough: Forget going through Paris. American Airlines has competatively priced non-stop DFW - Madrid flights. Dallas to Paris is generally more expensive and a whole lot less convenient in getting to SJPP.
Once arriving in Madrid's airport, no need to go into the city of Madrid. There is a bus from the Madrid airport which will take you directly to the bus station in Pamplona where you can catch a bus which will take you directly to SJPP. If you arrive in Pamplona too late to catch the SJPP bus, then you can catch the 6 PM bus to Roncesvalles continuing from there with a taxi onto SJPP. There are taxis waiting in Roncesvalles allowing you to join other pilgrims, thus sharing the taxi cost of travelling from Roncesvalles to SJPP.
Buen Camino.

We are also leaving Austin (tomorrow) and starting out on the Camino on April 20th. Got a fair price on a direct on AA from Dallas. Hope to see you there.heatherrnw said:Hello Texans! I will be walking my first Camino at the end of April. I found that coming from Austin was more expensive to fly into Paris and WAY more expensive to fly into Biarritz. About $3000 more expensive! I ended up opting to fly into London and take a plane to Biarritz from there. The only downfall of it is that I have to take a bus from one airport to get to another in London then get on the plane to France. But believe it or not, it was actually less expensive then taking the train AND it gets me there about 3 hours earlier. With flying into Paris it would have been more expensive with the cost of the plane ticket as well as the cost of the train ticket and I would not have reached Bayonne until almost 11:00 pm. With a full day of plane travel I wanted the least amount of travel for the next day.
I did look at the price to fly into Madrid and it was around the same price as flying into London. It just seemed a little more muddled to get to SJPDP then coming from the France direction. Though appeared rather easy if starting from Roncesvalles.
Looks like I will be a few weeks ahead of you on the trail as I start out at the end of April.
Buen Camino!

Ha ha! That would be great if someone carried a crate of beer along the Way. Best way to meet people and make friends for life, although you may break your back!texastrekker said:hey i might even bring some shiner beer and luling bar-b-que!
