By Plane

Ryanair is the only airline that flies into the airport at Carcassonne, which is located 5.5 km from town. This means if you are coming from the U.S. or another international destination, you will need to book Ryanair to get to Carcassonne. There are also daily flights from London (Stansted).

There is a bus during the summer months from the airport into town. The Agglo’Bus leaves the train station two hours before each Ryanair flight, takes about 25 minutes and costs about €5.

By car, take the Carcasonne Ouest A61 motorway exit. And here’s a handy toll to help you find a good deal on a rental, as well as the other features of your trip.
