Ryanair also do Leeds / Bradford to Gerona several times a week currently.

Mostly the flights arrive too late in the eve for convenient buses, but on Thursdays the timings are good - you arrive just before 5pm thus can get the Perpicat bus service to Argel`es / Perpignan and so on.


[ None of that ridiculous farce of squeezing the carry-on bag into the cage last week but who knows if that was a one-off and they will reinstate it next time round?

Still the stupidity of not having a seat-back pouch to rest magazines in, so you spend the flight balancing stuff on your knees. Still, if they are the only ones who fly where you need to, what can you do ? ]

Dear all,

Please visit our new website and give us your feedback :

http://www.aeroport-perpignan.com/

There is a problem about the flights times, but the bug will be corrected soon. Carcassonne Airport's website will also have the same destiny in a few days :-)

I understand building alterations are being made to the airport. Is it possible to let us have an update on what these are.

Hi Sue,

We are proceeding to the renovation of the terminal and a reorganization of several departments like Safety checkpoints, customs' offices... Works should last 1 year. The old design will be replaced by a new one!

Flybe & Ryanair will certainly operate the Perpignan - Birmingham route next year. I think bookings should be available online from November maximum. I will let you know anyway once it's possible ;-)

Bristol will be difficult to get for us as Ryanair is already operating the route from Béziers & Girona. They would kill their own business if they open Bristol from Perpignan unless they close the route from Béziers...

Will Flybe be operating Southampton / Perpignan next year please?

Is there any possibility of someone flying Gatwick / Perpignan?

Many thanks.

Ryanair don't seem to be flying either Girona or Beziers to Bristol through the winter!

Leeds would be EXCELLENT. It's so difficult to get to the north of England in winter. Even Manchester is off the Girona menu.

We spoke to the information desk at Beziers airport yesterday and apparently the only routes this winter are London Luton and Paris Beauvais.

Can you do anything about the Wi-Fi? I tried to use it in Sept, very poor.

Dear BT,

Sorry for the inconvenience. We are working in order to fix the problems caused by Wi-Fi, but unfortunately the renovation works are not making things easier..... Fortunately the facilities will be very well improved by next year.

Any chance Bristol/Perpignan can be negotiated over the winter?

Yes please Bristol/Perpignan would be ideal especially as Beziers and Girona/Bristol both finish on 5th November.

Dear Caroline, Dear Sue,

Unfortunately it is too late to negotiate a route for this winter. If Ryanair has decided to cut both Béziers/Girona - Bristol flights, they were likely to need their planes elsewhere as the winter potential for these both routes was probably to weak.

I hear what you are saying but it is a long trek to El Prat for the Easy Jet flight.
