But someone from the forum told me to check out the "open jaw" ticket or "multi city option" and I found that leaving on a plane from Santiago was never much more expensive than my international ticket in and out of Madrid. That's why when I used to take the train from Santiago to Madrid after my camino to fly home from Madrid, I always used to go in the day before. I certainly hope that doesn't happen, but it's always the risk you take. If you miss your California flight because Ryan Air is late, however, Iberia or American or whatever airline you are flying is not responsible. There are a couple of advantages to that approach - you will probably not have to change terminals, but more importantly if you don't make your connection, the airline has to make arrangements at no charge to you. ![]() I know this is probably too late for you, but for your next camino you should check out the cost of just adding the Santiago to Madrid flight to your international ticket. T4S is a long narrow terminal, so it could be close or it could be quite a distance. Then you have to get from the stop up to the departure level and get to your gate. You will then have to go down some escalators or take the elevator (to save time, in T4, I recommend always taking the elevator, sometimes the escalators are several floors) to the level where the train goes from T4 to T4S. Once in T4, you will first check in, then go through security and some passport control. When you arrive in T1, you won't have to do anything except get out to the departures level and get outside to the place where the bus will make the 10 minute or so trip to T4. Let's just hope that Santiago is there to help you out. If you've already got the ticket, you will just have to do your best, but it could be tight. ![]()
