By Air

Ryanair currently flies from Stansted, Liverpool and East Midlands to Limoges (our nearest airport) and from Stansted to Bergerac (about 1 hour away).  Recently introduced, are their Stansted to Angouleme (45 minutes drive away) flights.  Flybe operate flights between Southampton and Limoges and Newcastle and Limoges.

The further you book in advance the cheaper it is.   Ryanair’s cheapest fares are available for people traveling during off peak periods.  It is worth noting that you pay lower rates if you book via the internet.  Flights can cost as little as £20.00 return, out of season, and are seldom no more than £70.00, each way.  However, you will need to add approximately £30.00 airport tax and fuel duty, to these prices.

Those of you within reasonable distance of Gatwick should note that BA’s prices are almost as competitive as Ryanair and Flybe.  Again, you need to book well in advance.  BA's midweek fares are also cheaper than their weekend fares and they operate flights to Bordeaux only.
