With the autumn holidays recently over, the winter high season has now begun at Bordeaux Airport. The choice from 107 direct flights this winter is just one of the many reasons to discover the world from Bordeaux. Offering routes to no fewer than 23 countries, 4 more than last year, Bordeaux confirms its largely international status with more than 60% of its traffic to and from destinations overseas. The number of flights is set to increase this winter with the introduction of 9 new routes and 22 extensions of routes from this summer. From Bordeaux, those in Nouvelle-Aquitaine can escape for a short break in Morocco or Tunisia, a cultural city break in Moscow, Budapest or Prague, or a sunny break in the Canary Islands or Israel.
The Bordeaux Airport network confirms its development towards Eastern Europe.
The Austrian company Lauda, a subsidiary of Ryanair, has landed on Bordeaux's tarmac and now offers services to Vienna, 3 times per week. This imperial capital reveals all its beauty in winter, especially at its Christmas markets.
Still in the East, this winter Ryanair is serving 2 magnificent capitals, Prague(1) (Thursday and Sunday) and Budapest(1) (Tuesday and Saturday). While a certain similarity between these 2 cities comes to mind, with a river separating a lower town from an upper town overlooked by a castle, the resemblance ends there. These destinations are waiting to be discovered!
Enjoy the mild Mediterranean climate with a getaway to Tenerife(2) with easyJet (Wednesday and Saturday) or Palermo(2) with Ryanair (Tuesday and Saturday). These islands certainly have something different to offer. Sicily and the Canary Islands both boast exceptional natural and historical treasures.
Finally, Ryanair is adding to its winter connections between Bordeaux and the northern half of France by opening two direct routes to Lille(3) (daily flight) and Strasbourg(3) (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday). These connections to 2 cities that are both warm and economically dynamic will delight both tourists and business travellers.

(3) Lille is also served by Air France and easyJet. Strasbourg is also served by Volotea.
