How to get from Bordeaux Airport to Bordeaux

Airport shuttle bus

You can reach city centre by taking Navette Shuttle 30’ Direct which operates every day from the airport to the train station (Gare de Bordeaux St. Jean).

  • Currently valid schedule: see here.
  • NOTE: The schedules change depending on the season, in the high season buses usually operate until 23:00
  • The price of a one-way ticket is 8€ ; people under 26 and seniors over 60 pay a reduced amount of 7€

Local bus

Another possibility of getting to the train station is by taking a local (and much cheaper!) bus Lianes 1+ operated by TBM.

  • First bus departs from the airport at 4:45 and the last one at 00:40 (1:20 on Thu, Fri and Sat)
  • The bus operates on the route between Saint-Jean train station and the airport via Bordeaux Centre and Mérignac Centre.
  • The single bus fare costs 1.70€, but it is probably more convenient to buy 1-day ticket which costs 4.50€ (unlimited access for the day)
  • The tickets can be purchased on vending machines, sales offices, or directly from driver.

Train

Although it is not directly connected with Bordeaux Airport, St. Jean train station can be easily reached either by shuttle bus or by a local bus within 30 minutes (or less if traffic is not too crowded).

Taxi services

If you don’t want to drag around your suitcases, there are taxis waiting for you outside the Arrivals Terminal, but be prepared for waiting in case you’re visiting during the summer. Make sure they have their taximeters on when you leave the airport so you don’t get overcharged. The average cost of the ride to Bordeaux is around 30€.

Transfer

Booking the door-to-door transfer is a good alternative to taxi if you want to make sure the driver will wait for you. If your plane is late, the company will know because they monitor your flight.

Renting a car at Bordeaux Airport

There are 10 companies in total which offer their services at the airport, all of them located at A-B Hall connecting wing. But if you want your car waiting for you when you arrive at the airport, then hurry up and book it online.

Renting a bus at Bordeaux Airport

In case you are coming with a larger group of people, you should probably rent a bus or a minibus prior to your arrival. The bus rental companies will arrange all the details about the pick-up point once you book it.

Bordeaux Airport FAQs

I arrive late at the airport. Will it be a problem for me to get to the city?

Not at all, since the local bus and shuttle bus operate every 10-15 mins throughout the day. But in case you don’t manage to catch the last one, you can always get a taxi outside the Arrivals Hall.

I have an early morning departure from the airport, are there any airport hotels I can stay at?

Sure thing, there are several hotels in the proximity  of the airport at which you can stay overnight:
Best Western Hotel (3*) – only one kilometre from the airport; offers free Wi-Fi and parking
Hotel Mercure Bordeaux Airport (4*) – 1.2 kilometres from the airport; has free Wi-Fi access and parking
Brit Hotel Bordeaux Aéroport – Le Soretel (3*) – 1.5 km from the airport; free Wi-Fi connection, free parking

I would like to spend one day in Bordeaux in between flights. Is that possible?

Yes, of course. The best way to do so is to take the local bus which will take you directly from the airport to the city centre. And make sure you buy the 1-day ticket pass for local public transportation to save money. You can leave your luggage in luggage lockers at St. Jean train station from 07:00 to 22:30 on weekdays, from 07:00 to 20:30 on Saturdays, and from 09:15 to 22:45 on Sundays.

I am continuing my journey outside Bordeaux. Are there any direct bus lines from the airport to other cities?

Unfortunately, there are no direct lines from the airport to other cities, but you can first go to the city centre. The buses depart from the bus stop in Quai De Paludate street. You can pick one of the most popular routes like Bordeaux – Paris, Bordeaux – Lyon or Bordeaux – Toulouse. If you want to visit other French cities, you can find many routes on getbybus.com.

Can I exchange money at the airport to pay for my transfer?

Yes, the ATMs and exchange service are located at the airport, but we recommend having enough euros on you since the rate at the airports are higher than usual and no currency other than euro is accepted.

    Hello,

    I would like to travel from Bordeaux Merignac airport to go to Sainte-Foy-La-Grande. What is the easiest and the cheapest way of doing this please?

    Thank you so much.

    Regards

    • Melani   Author

      Dear Marie,

      The best way is to go first to Gare Saint Jean (the main bus station in Bordeaux). You can either go by shuttle bus for 8€ or by bus line 1 for 1.50€ but it takes You longer. Then at the bus station take regional TER train to Gare de Sainte-Foy-La-Grande. The travel time is around 1 hr and 20 min.

    Our flight comes in from Spain at 23.05. We are catching a train to Tours in the morning. We have to fill in the time before the train without wandering around the streets. A hotel for the 6 hours is not worth it to us.
    Is it possible to stay at the airport or does it shut up after the last flight?

    • Melani   Author

      Dear Sunny,

      Bordeaux Airport is open 24/7 and it does not close (as the majority of big airports which have daily flight connections).

      Yes, that’s right, but that’s not metro stop, it’s called Météo France but it’s actually stop for bus line 1. You can exit at République bus stop and transfer to 5S bus and exit at Tillet. It’s the closest stop to your accommodation.

    What is best way from airport to get to 2 ieme étage 18 Place des Quinconces, Bordeaux Historic District, Bordeaux, 33000, France

    • Maja

      Hi Catherine,

      the most convenient way would be taking a bus no. 1.
      You can choose to take off at Manege station and switch to bus no. 2 or 3 to get directly to your destination.
      You can also get off at Gambetta Meriadeck and walk for another 15 minutes to your destination.

    Hi, I have only 45min between flights in Bordeaux (same terminal, Billi, same company, easyJet). Is it possible to get the second plane with only 45 min?

    Thank you,
    Ana

    • Maja

      Hi Ana,

      if it’s the same terminal and same company, you will probably get on the second plane without problems.
      However, we cannot tell you anything with certainty, these things depend on many factors.

      Good luck and have a safe flight!

    Where do I get off Bus Line 1 from the Aeroport for Hôtel Mercure Bordeaux Centre-Ville
    5 rue Robert Lateulade?

    How long will it take around
    10:00 am?

    • Maja

      Hi Jeff,

      you need to get off at Manege station. The hotel is located 2 minutes walking from the station.
      The approximate time of the journey is 40 minutes, but it all depends on the traffic.

    We are landing at Bordeaux airport and staying at a city Airbnb in R de la Merci. Can you tell me the easiest way to make this journey and if using public transport where do we catch the bus and what stop should we get off at.
    Will the driver tell us when we arrive ?

    • Maja

      Hi Stuart,

      the local bus line 1 takes you to Gambetta Meriadeck from where you need to walk about 10 minutes to your accommodation.
      You can also get off the bus a little earlier, at St. Bruno – Hotel de Region station and switch to tram line A all the way to Sainte Catherine.
      The departure station of bus line 1 is right in front of the terminal, where the huge parking lot is.

    Dear Sir

    Me and my husband will be arriving at Bordeaux Airport on the 11th December at around 20:30. Can you kindly advise how we can use the airport shuttle to go to our hotel Hotel Bleu Dr Mer. I appreciate your kind reply

    Thanks

    Geraldine

    • Maja

      Dear Geraldine,

      the most convenient option to reach your accommodation is to take a shuttle bus (Navette) from the airport to Gare Bordeaux. From there, you need to switch to a tram line C or D which takes you to Place de la Bourse, about a minute or two from your accommodation.

    There will be 3 of us taking the shuttle bus from the Bordeaux airport to downtown Bordeaux. We will have bicycles. Will the bus be able to accommodate 3 bicycles as luggage? Thank you.

    • Maja

      Hi Janice,

      each bus carrier has different regulations regarding bicycles. They are usually stored in the luggage compartment if disassembled.
      I suggest you contact the bus carrier before your travelling date to make sure you can store your bicycles.

    Hi,

    what is the best way to come from the Bordeaux airport to the Best Western Grand hotel Francais, 12 Rue Du Temple.Thank you.

    • Marija Štrljić

      Hi Andrea,

      the most convenient way is by taking a taxi, which typically takes about 30-40 minutes. Alternatively, you can go with public transportation by using the Liane 1+ bus or the tram to the city centre and then walking to the hotel, which is more budget-friendly but will take longer.
