A short, no seat reservation train with occasional bus substitution. The bus will leave from the train station if it is being substituted.What travel modes are available from Biarritz to St. Jean?
I am flying US to paris but changed to ORLY airport so I could take the AF ORLY to BIQ--Biarritz flight. Then, I am transferring to SJDPP. I looked into bus/underground/taxi/UBER for transfer CDG to ORY and it was easier just to do Orly. I seriously considered the train---still think that is a good option. IF you are flying into CDG with AF/Delta, there is a bus that will take you to the other airport--ORY...or so internet-lore says.Hi Everyone. My plan is to fly into CDG, and catch the high speed TGV train to Bayonne. (Flying from the U.S.) Here are my questions:
1. Should I purchase my TGV train ticket in advance? If yes, I arrive in Paris on a Tuesday @ 10 a.m. How much time should I allot for clearing customs to ensure that I have time to catch my train?
2. As an alternative, Are there flights to Biarritz from Paris? If so, which airlines? Purchase ticket in advance? What travel modes are available from Biarritz to St. Jean?
Thanks for your help.

I remember that last year when I booked my tickets 3 months in advance for May 2016 the prices for Bordeaux were higher than those for Biarritz when ticket for the train added. But that was from my starting point (Venice). For other folks I guess it's just less hassle when flying almost directly to Bayonne.Is there a reason why we never see flying into Bordeau as a possible solution to get to SJPP? All I read is Biarritz.
Thank you.
Well that's why I'm asking, because we have direct flights from Montreal to Bordeau, whichnhad never ocurred to me. Mind you, I have not wanted to start in SJPP in 10 years, but other might.Also for overseas flights (landing in London, Paris, Madrid) maybe Biarritz is more accessible???
Then that's very convenient. Non-refundable train tickets to Bayonne are around 20€.Well that's why I'm asking, because we have direct flights from Montreal to Bordeau, whichnhad never ocurred to me. Mind you, I have not wanted to start in SJPP in 10 years, but other might.
Vueling flies Santiago to Paris non stop. Basic, reliable service. I did not buy my return ticket in advance, because I did not know when I would get to Santiago. About a week away from Santiago, our traveling band had our plans firm, and I bought my ticket to Paris for, I think, 70 euros. You may get lucky, or unlucky doing it this way I guess, but I would do it the same way again. You won't know when you will want to leave Santiago until you get close to being there. On the other hand, I have been to Paris many times, and knew I would want to spend some time there before I headed home. You may NOT want to spend time in Paris (its a LOT more $$$ than Spain!), so buying your ticket to match your return flight now would make sense.
Buen Camino
We flew into and out of CDG on Icelandair from the US. We planned an overnight at a very reasonable Paris airport hotel coming in and then flew Biarritz the next morning to help us combat the jet lag from US to Europe. We flew out of Santiago on Vueling and again overnighted in the same Paris airport hotel before catching our Icelandair flight back to the US. We had plenty of time so this was not a factor and we needed the rest. Our flights were nothing too fancy, but very affordable. Many pilgrims on flights on both the Easyjet and the Vueling flights.Thanks to everyone for responses. Now my next dilemma is getting from Santiago to Paris. Which carriers are available? Approximate cost? Purchase ticket in advance?
