Travelling from Santiago to Paris

[Camino with Kids]

I've looked at reasonable flights from Santiago to Paris and the are all operated by Vueling which I have heard horror stories about so I was hoping others would have some suggestions. I understand that there isn't any efficient mode of transportation to get to Paris so our second choice would be overnight train.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

I got a great price from Iberia for a flight Santiago-Madrid-Paris. It leaves early morning and gets in at around 11:00 at Orly.

There are flights from Santiago to Madrid, Barcelona, London and etc where there are connections to Paris.

Otherwise its Renfe train to either Irun/Hendaye or Barcelona and SNCF trains from either Hendaye or Barcelona to Paris. Both routes take about the same amount of time.

Aena Santiago Airport site shows destinations and airlines.

Ryanair have daily flight from Santiago to Barcelona at 8:50 am
I traveled with Vueling on my first camino last year and I don't noticed special problem with their service.
Buen Camino

I've flown twice with Vueling with no problems. Pretty much like other no-frills airlines and a big improvement on Ryanair.

I have also flown with Vueling several times without problems. That said there will always be problems with no-frills airlines from time-to-time, it goes with the territory. Substituting two flights for one only increases the odds of a problem occuring.

Thanks for all your input. I managed to book us all on a flight from Santiago to Madrid with Iberia then Madrid to Paris with Air France, arriving in Paris at a reasonable enough hour to find our way to our apartment

I flew Vueling from Santiago to Paris in 2013. No complaints and it wasn't a long flight anyway. I'd easily fly them again.

Those short haul flights are just fine for what they are: a bus ride in the air. If the airlines were not safe, they would not be allowed to fly, regardless of what they charge. Seats are tight, there is no legroom, but for the price they charge, and how quickly they will get you to your destination, I am very happy to fly with them. No worse then Westjet, or SouthWest.
