  • Flying out on the 27th. Was thinking of booking return on the 5th but there's not much from San Seb so was seeing if I could bus to Bilbao with the bike in a box and then fly from there.
    There's a size limit on the buses though, 100x60x25 I think, so I'm not sure if they'll take a bike box. Normally my missus would come out with my bikeboxallan but in this case I'll be shipping in cardboard boxes both ways I think.
    In the end I gave up and figured I'd book something when I'm there at slightly higher cost but I'm open to smarter suggestions.

  • The buses are limited to 3 bikes not limit room for them If you have it in a cardboard box or a plastic bag it's enough (but normally they charge for 10€ for the bike).
    If not you have the train, it's free for the bike and has cheaper tickets (4€ instead of 10-15€) but takes 2h45min.

    The buses takes around 1h 1h15min

  • I booked a cheap(ish) flight from San Seb on Sat morning. It goes via Madrid on http://www.airnostrum.es and then a BA flight from Madrid to London. The only issue I can see is that Air Nostrum will probably want to charge me an extra 45EU for the bike box but I will need to contact Iberia, who seem to own/manage them, to find out.

    Oh, I'll need to find a bike box too (or potentially buy one at the airport).

    @CarlosBI do you know any bike shops in San Seb that might hang onto some boxes for riders, nearer to the race?
