Access and transport
Halls A, B and our billi terminal are closed between midnight and 3am*.
For safety and operational reasons, the relevant authorities have decided to close the airport between midnight and 3am. Furthermore, as there are no flights scheduled during these times, this does not prevent passengers from being picked up. These times are indicated on our website. For your next trip and in the event of a very early flight time, we recommend the following hotels in the vicinity of the airport: https://www.bordeaux.aeroport.fr/en/stores-services/hotels-near-bordeaux-airport
*The airport reserves the right to change these times without prior notice in line with changes in the flight schedule. The halls may close earlier if there are no late flights.
When you're wondering how to find your way around the airport, remember that you're never alone!
Our ground staff are here to guide you through our terminals. You'll be able to spot them by their red short-sleeved jackets. They can answer your questions and show you the way to your destination.
Public transports
Shuttles are scheduled to run from the first to last flight, so don't worry. All our car parks remain open until all passengers have arrived or left!
The only tickets you can buy online are tickets for the shuttle that runs between the airport and Saint-Jean train station: https://30direct.com/boutique/

You can buy bus or tram tickets from the Relay newsagents in Halls A and B before security and in the billi Terminal in the boarding area.
