Looking to get to Lisbon for our CP in the early spring. I have had bad experience switching planes when checkin luggage whic we will do with our kits. Looking for advice on alternative airports with train service to lisbon. Travelling from east coast of US.
 
€2,-/day will present your project to thousands of visitors each day. All interested in the Camino de Santiago.

Could you be more specific about month and departure city? I can see direct flights from NY, Boston and Miami to Lisbon as cheap as 220-230€ (250-260 USD) for March at the moment.

Porto would be alternative airport but for the same price and only from NY.
 
Philadelphia/ Baltimore/DC would be ideal. Our thought is that a visit to a european city we haven't been to might make the adventure more interesting. Mid March to mid April will work.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.

€83,-
DC has very scarce direct flights and much more pricey.

Good search engine to get you rough picture of what kind of transportation is available between the cities (because I don't know if you want to visit Athens or Oslo or Madrid ;)) is this one:

Happy planning!
 
thanks to all. Apprantly the American flight doesn't fly in the winter months and didn't show up in my search until today. Problem solved.
Looking forward to our second Camino
Bom Caminho

I would like to walk the river route in Tui next month. I can see on google maps exactly where it starts, but it seems a bit overgrown. Has anybody used this route this year or last year...
Hello, my friend of 50+ years and I are on our first Camino walk. We are looking for: 1) safe, comfortable hostels in Lisbon; 2) stages from Lisbon to Porto (via Tomar) in about 16 days...
Hi I have searched everywhere to see if there is a luggage service from Lisbon to Porto. I know there is from Porto to Santiago, but Lisbon ???. Thanks for any info.
