Did you mean St. Jean Pied de Port, France?
That may have been a typo?

There are many posts regarding travel to SJPdP including this travel sub-forum. Take a look at the posts here and see if you can find answers to some of your questions.

Buen Camino.

Well you have tons of possibilities, it's just about finding the cheapest option- at least is usually is for me. Fly into a major European airport and then book an inter-Europe flight to Biarritz (or Bordeaux or Toulouse) and take a train to St Jean Pied de Port. I was in Ireland before- from California- so I flew from Dublin to Bordeaux, then caught the train to Bayonne where I switched trains to take me to St Jean Pied de Port. It's actually pretty easy to make all the plans because it's such a popular thing to do. Like grayland said, there's a lot of discussions on here too- I hope you find what you need!

I agree with the other posters, and assume you mean San Jean Pied de Port (SJPdP) on the border between France and Spain, the traditional start of the popular Camino Frances.
Find an inexpensive flight to Europe, probably Paris, Madrid, Dublin, London.
This forum has information on traveling from any of those cities to SJPdP. My way was Paris, then two trains to SJPdP. The return flight may be more complicated simply because you may not know what date your Camino will end.
This forum will be very useful to you.
Buen Camino.

Check Iberia Airline for flights from New York to Pamplona with a return from Santiago. I see a current fare of $1740.
