Questions regarding getting from the Biarritz airport to st. Jean pied de port?

[Jileen]

Hello, I plan to fly from the cdg airport (Paris) to biq airport (Biarritz). From biq airport, i plan to take the bus to the Bayonne train station. I believe that I am supposed to take the chronoplus bus #14. My question is, should i purchase the bus ticket online ahead of time or will it be okay for me to purchase it there? My concern is that the bus ticket may be sold out or will be more expensive opposed to buying it ahead of time.

Additionally, i plan to arrive to the biq airport at 8:30 am. Should i purchase the train ticket from the Bayonne train station to st. Jean pied de port through sncf.com ahead of time? Or would it be okay to purchase the train ticket once i arrive to the Bayonne train station? My concern is that i am not sure what time i will be arriving at the Bayonne train station..

Lastly, on the chronoplus.eu website, what should i write for the Biarritz airport? I can’t seem to find it. Is it the polycinique? But it doesn’t state that the bus number is 14..

Thank you so much in advance.

I just bought a train ticket from Bayonne to SJPP. But I also knew that I am travelling on non-strike days. The one point that all of us need to help is your dates of travel. Arrivsal date in Biarritz? Worst case, grab 3 other Pilgrims and share a taxi. It is the fastest way but most expensive too.

Oh, the bus to Bayonne Train Station is 1 euro and allow 10 to 15 minutes or 20 minutes if you ae open to walking it.

From Biarritz Airport take Line C bus (quicker) to Réduit Boufflers and walk across the Pont St-Esprit to Bayonne railway station (Bayonne Gare) or 14 (slower, but goes all the way) to Bayonne Gare.

Buy bus ticket on the bus and train ticket at the railway station - the train may be replaced by a bus service.

On the Chronoplus site, enter 'aeroport' for Biarritz airport.

Just to clarify MichelleElynHogan's post - you cannot walk from Biarritz airport to Bayonne railway station in 20 minutes! It would take a t least 1 1/2 hours and you'd probably get lost. I assume she means walking from Réduit Boufflers across the river Adour to the station. (Apologies if I've misunderstood.)
