Hi everyone. I’m flying back to Chicago from Madrid after walking the CF in late November. I’ll be taking a cab to a hotel near CDG airport to fly out next day. It appears to be a long distance from Charmartin station to CDG. Any better options.
Thanks for any help.

I think that you mean that you will be staying close to Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport. It would be a horrendously long and expensive taxi ride from Chamartín to Paris.
 
Altus BALI Sleeping bag liner
Ideal sleeping bag liner whether we want to add a thermal plus to our bag, or if we want to use it alone to sleep in shelters or hostels. Thanks to its mummy shape, it adapts perfectly to our body.

€46,-
I think the OP would like to know how to get from Chamartín train station to his Madrid airport hotel by means other than a taxi.
It would be easier to help knowing the name or location of the hotel.

We might start out by being certain of the countries.

If indeed it is ‘the environs of Chamartin’ to Madrid’s Adolfo Suarez airport, then the Cercanias train from Chamartin direct to the airport would be quickest and most cost effective.

By taxi, it’s not an extreme distance nor - in extremis - unaffordable. Best not at rush hour though.
 
uber works here, easiest an cheapest option.
'airport hotels' near barajas (our airport in madrid) are not well connected to public transport.
CDG is in Paris, we're assuming you mean Adolfo Suárez Barajas Airport, our only airport in Madrid.
 
Get a Spanish mobil number + data while on the Camino
Get a spanish phone number with Airalo. eSim, so no physical SIM card. Easy to use app to add more funds if needed.
I believe the Cercanis train station at T4, MAD is currently under construction. Or so I read on these boards...

I’m not sure we got to the bottom of that. The pre-publicity and on the ground experience didn’t add-up. If the OP chooses Cercanias then asking at the station whilst there is still time to take an uber or taxi would be wise.

Frank,

The second week of October I will be coming in to Charmartin station and then heading g to a hotel near the Madrid airport as well. I can give you an update when I return if that is soon enough for you.

My hotel thought I would be fine. You might want to check with your hotel as well to see what they recommend as the “best” way to get from Charmartin to the airport based on any parameters you have (cost, time, etc).
