Bordeaux Airport by Mark Evans

26 March 2008   Customer Rating :

Not too pressured an airport in terms passengers volumes, so therefore possible to appreciate the light and spacious layout. Highlight of the landside facilities is Les Navigateurs resturant, which is value for money for an airport restaurant and offers good quality dining and service that one rarely encounters at other airports. Airside facilities much more basic. JetBus service to and from city runs on a 45-minute frequency, single fare of EUR7. Shame the new tramway wasn't extended the few couple of from Merignac to serve BOD - the JetBus can get badly snarled in the Bordeaux rush- hour traffic.

Not as happy as the previous correspondent with this airport I have to say. I didn't have a lot of time and as I had (thought I'd) checked in on line, I went straight through security to the departure lounge for my easyJet flight to LTN. When I say straight through, I mean eventually through as the online check-in and self-printed boarding card was not initially to the liking of the security staff. Once through I found one tiny bar that only sold beer or coffee and hardly any seating. Access to the gate area was barred until just before the flight arrived. I found a seat, bought a pricey beer and used the free Wi-fi until I could get through to the gate. Make this place a hub, easyJet and maybe the terminal facilities will expand with the passenger numbers? It has worked elsewhere.

All work is now complete, with much more space in both terminals, additional shops, tourist agencies, restaurant facilities and check-ins. Car-park is maximum 5 minutes walk, although spaces are sometimes hard to find. Very short walk to and from aircraft. Only problem is non-car access. The comment below about the trams is correct, they will shortly reach Merignac Centre, but this is miles from the Airport. The shuttle is not frequent enough, 45 minutes wait.

Very convenient airport if you are in a hurry. Small, clean, you walk from the aircraft to the exit in less than 3 mins. Too bad KLM Air France are the only ones providing flights to AMS - so the ticket prices went up 300% since the merger. So now you must fly with a stop over to save some money.

The new tram does NOT run to the airport. Still the same ultra-low frequency bus.

Nice little airport now that the building work is almost complete. Something of a route-march to get form terminal A to terminal B however.

In answer to M Stuger. The city are building a super tram line which will travel from Merignac to Bordeaux. I don't know if they plan to link to the airport though. Foolish if they don't!

Small, well laid out, but public transport to the city needs to be improved. The Merignac-Bordeaux bus runs infrequently and takes forever. Time for a rail connection!
