162 kilometres, about an hour and thirty-five minutes, to the south-west's main airport and its long-haul connections.
The A61 crosses the Seuil de Naurouze, the watershed between Mediterranean and Atlantic that the Canal du Midi negotiates a little further on. Then comes Toulouse itself, skirted on the ring road as far as Blagnac to the north-west, some six kilometres from the Capitole.
An hour and thirty-five minutes, of which the last twenty depend on the Toulouse ring road — the weak point, at rush hour and on match days alike. We leave earlier rather than drive faster.
Toulouse-Blagnac is laid out as four adjoining halls, A, B, C and D. Tell us your airline when you book and we drop you as close as possible to the right hall, sparing you a walk across the terminal with the cases.
It is the airport for long-haul connections via Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt or Madrid, and for business flights to the main French cities.
Over 162 kilometres the train deserves an honest mention: Narbonne to Toulouse takes a little over an hour by rail and costs considerably less. A private car wins in three specific cases — a flight too early or too late for the first or last train, a party of three or four with luggage, or a business appointment that can afford neither a connection nor a change of station.
We would rather say so than sell you a journey you do not need. If the train works, take the train. If it does not, the €300 fare is fixed whatever the traffic.
About 1 hour 35 minutes for 162 kilometres on the A61, outside heavy traffic on the Toulouse ring road.
As close as possible to your airline's hall, among halls A, B, C and D. Give us the airline and flight number when you book.
Often yes, and we will say so. A private transfer earns its place for a flight outside train hours, for a group with luggage, or when the journey has to be direct and predictable.
Yes, up to four passengers and their luggage, within the boot's capacity — two large suitcases and two cabin bags comfortably.
