Arriving at Toulouse is a relaxed thing because of the Toulouse-Blagnac airport (TLS) located just eight kilometers afar from the city center in the northeast of the city. It is a small airport that is easy and fast to pass – but it also has a long aviation history; for example the first flight of a Concorde started at Toulouse and the airport is also the homebase of manufacturer Airbus. Blagnac has been opened in 1939 and it has two runways transporting seven million passengers each year and by that making it the sixed busiest airport in France.
If you want to get into the city or to the main railway station Matabiau your best choice is to take a bus. Once you leave the terminal building turn right to find the airport shuttle. It runs frequently, takes about 30 minutes to bring you to the railway station and you can buy tickets for 9 Euros at a vending machine or pay by credit card on board of the bus.
At a different bus stop in front of the round terminal building you can also take the Andbus to Andorra. They say that the bus schedule is align with arrival times of flights – but for my that wasn’t the case and I would have had to wait some hours at the airport. The better alternative for me was to take the shuttle to Matabiau and then catch the Andbus at the Gare Routière next to the main railway station.
