Access to the airport on Sunday 29 June

Due to the IRONMAN sporting event, there will be major disruption to access to Nice Côte d'Azur airport on Sunday 29 June 2025

Exits 49 of the A8 motorway (Saint-Laurent-du-Var) will be closed from 5am to 11.15am.

Access to the airport will be via exits 50 (Promenade des Anglais) and 51 (Nice Ouest) only, throughout the day.
N.B. : Even after the reopening of exit 49, it will not be possible to reach the airport via the seafront road.

Access to and from the airport via the Promenade des Anglais, in particular after the Pont Napoléon III, will be closed from 5am to 7pm, due to the neutralisation of the southern lane reserved for the cycle route.

Please plan ahead and, if possible, use public transport (train, tramway, bus, taxi, etc.) to get to the airport.

Thank you for your understanding.

    Formalities for travelling to Southampton

    • Entry requirements: when crossing its border, the United Kingdom requires a valid passport.
    • Currency: some things never change in England, such as the cabs, red telephone booths and… the British pound. The notes, bearing the image of Queen Elizabeth, are worth slightly more than our euros. To make the most of a good exchange rate and to fly to Southampton with some cash in your pocket, head straight to InterChange. The retailer can be found in Terminals 1 and 2.

    Your Nice-Southampton direct flight

    Operated by British Airways, the Nice-Southampton direct flight departs from Terminal 1 at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport.

    To go through security and customs checks easily, it’s best not to arrive at the airport at the last minute. If you want to get to your seat without breaking into a cold sweat, plan to walk through our terminal doors an hour before your departure time. It’s worth adding at least quarter of an hour to this time frame if you need to pick up your ticket from the airline check-in desk or hand in your hold baggage.

    Arriving in Southampton

    The Nice-Southampton flight, operated by British Airways, takes you to the north of the city, just six kilometres from its historic centre. You can easily travel the short distance using the following options:

    • Take the bus: Unilink takes you to the city centre with bus U1C, or even to the waterfront in half an hour. There are several departures every hour and every day, including weekends.
    • Take the train: Southampton Airport Parkway station is a short walk from the terminal exit. From here, you can get to the city centre directly in just a few minutes. There are plenty of departures throughout the day.
    • Take a taxi: this will cost around twenty pounds, for as many minutes, and you’ll be dropped off right outside of your accommodation. Like the sound of this idea? Head to the terminal exit!
    • Hire a car: you’ll find 8 rental companies at the airport. But be careful when you leave, you need to drive on the left!

What to do in
Southampton ?

Southampton is one of the British cities that is most marked by the fighting of the Second World War. It was nearly demolished by Nazi bombs during the Battle of Britain. But the southern city of England has risen from the ashes to become one of the Kingdom’s most sparkling cities. The key to this resurrection... the sea! Its port is home to many cruise ships. A vocation that contributes significantly to the city’s prosperity and, even more, its dynamism. When it comes to shopping, food and outings, it’s overflowing with great places to visit. But Southampton is also the starting point for many excursions to discover Hampshire, one of the prettiest counties in England.
