    Default Return from Puente or Pamplona

    Can anyone tell me how to get back to Biarritz Airport from Puente la Reina or Pamplona where I expect to end up on 1st October.
    Are there any helpful websites (Bus / Train schedules) that I can check out?
    Would really appreciate help

    There are regular buses from Puente to Pamplona, bus stop near the bridge. Then there are buses from Pamplona which drop you outside the railway station in Hendaye. Then you can get a train to Biarritz La Negresse from where it's a half hour walk to the airport or to Bayonne from where there are buses.

    Sorry, I don't know where to get timetables. I've done this a couple of times and what I usually do is overnight in San Sebastian and then go to the airport in the morning.

    Have now returned from Villatuerta via Estella. In order to help any other pilgrims, this is what we did!
    Caught local bus from Villatuerta to Estella bus station. (1 euro) .
    Got bus to San Sebastian from Estella bus station (11 euros) - there are two one goes over the mountains and takes 2.45hrs and stops everywhere and the other goes via the motorways and takes 1.30 hrs. We got this one at 10.45 and got to San Seb around 12.15.
    Had intentions of staying here for the night to see the city but there was only one bus to Biarritz the next day at 14.30 which meant missing my flight so I decided to go same day after some lunch! The bus was slow and traffic heavy so it took almost 2 hours instead of the expected 1.30hrs.(Cost approx 6 euros)
    Next day caught the local bus No. 14 which runs from Biarritz to Bayonne and stops right outside the Airport Terminal (approx 1 euro and took approx 15mins).
    For all those travelling to/from Biarritz airport to/from Bayonne/ Biarritz this is the bus to take. (not the No1 or No6 as in previous threads)
