Flights to Toulouse

Isn’t it time you discovered France’s fourth-largest city? With cheap flights to Toulouse from the UK, there’s no reason why the Pink City shouldn’t be next on your travel wish list.

There are plenty of reasons to say “Bonjour!” to beautiful Toulouse on your next city break…

The city of Toulouse is at the heart of the Midi-Pyrenees region in southwest France. La Ville Rose, or the Pink City – so called for the coloured bricks used to build much of the urban landscape – sprawls alongside the banks of the mighty Garonne and the Canal du Midi. It makes for an attractive destination, with, at its centre, the neoclassical Capitole de Toulouse. Get there after sundown when lightbulbs pick out the highlights of the glorious façade.

You’ve got all the tastiest bits of the French menu here: a generous helping of culture, amazing restaurants, a liberal sprinkling of wine bars, museums, markets, and a delicate background flavour of “joie de vivre” – an enjoyment of life that perfectly captures the essence of France. Toulouse will also surprise with its long connection to the European aerospace industry. The brilliant Cite de l’espace, a space theme park on the edge of Toulouse, appeals to all ages.

While not as exhilarating as space travel, flights to Toulouse from the UK are cheap, frequent and fast, taking less than two hours from take-off to touch down at Toulouse Blagnac Airport (TLS).

Passengers on city breaks arrive throughout the year, with skiers also booking Toulouse flights during the winter months to access the ski resorts of southwest France, Andorra and Spain.

Just remember to book well in advance of travel to snap up the cheapest fares on popular routes, such as flights to Toulouse from London and Bristol.

Be a travel superhero and find out everything you need to know about getting to and from the airport in advance…

Blagnac Airport is 10 kilometres from Toulouse city centre.

Hopping in a taxi is the fastest way to get from door to door (around 20 minutes), and costs 20-25 euros.

A coach shuttle service costs 8 euros per single ticket. But while the transfer time (25-30 minutes) is good, if there are more than three of you travelling together it’s cheaper to get a cab.

The cheapest option is to use local buses and the tram system, which costs from 1.60 euros for a single ticket.

Getting around is made even easier with pre-booked car hire. Collect your vehicle at the airport to save on the cost of transfers. Skiers heading for Andorra often book a hire car at Toulouse Airport, so book well ahead of travel in the winter months.

Getting you in the air for less is just the beginning; let’s find you a great place to stay too (at the right price, of course)…

Look for hotels within walking distance of the Capitole and you will be perfectly placed to reach the main attractions of Toulouse.
