More and more people are finding that with cheap flights from the budget airlines driving prices down on all European routes, it can be cheaper and easier to fly to the Pyrenees and the South of France. There are now at least 30 different routes from the UK landing in our area, and the table below gives a view of the flights available. The actual details change weekly, and although we try to update our table at least once a year, we use Flightmapping.com for up to date information. Click on one of the cities listed below, and the link will take you to Flightmapping's list of the flights into that airport from the UK. The majority of our guests fly into Toulouse or Carcassonne as these are the closest to us, but to help your planning, we are:
Direct Flights
Scheduled Connecting FlightsSeveral of our guests have used connecting flights to travel from (say) Edinburgh to Toulouse where there is no direct flight available. These flights can be arranged with different airlines, but there is the risk that if the first flight is delayed, there is no requirement for the second airline to hold or reschedule your ticket. Conversely, the bigger airlines (BA, Air France etc.) will allow you to book Edinburgh-Toulouse, with a transfer in Paris, often as low as £45 per person (each-way, excluding fees and taxes). For us, the big advantage with this is that the flights are scheduled and if the first is delayed, the airline has a duty of care.
Fly-drive car hire brokersCompareCarRentals.co.uk is an online cost comparison website that will enable you to arrange fly-drive car hire irrespective of which airline or airport you use! The cars are provided by the major operators (Hertz, Alamo, Avis etc), so your contract will actually be with someone like Hertz - the advantage you have is being able to compare the different rates all on one page. Over the past few years, many of our clients have used this service and all of the feedback we have had has been good. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
