Needing a little advice from any seasoned travellers in the French / Spanish border areas.
My mother has recently bought an apartment in St Cyprien, close to Perpignan, mainly based on a good flight from Manchester to Perpignan.
BMIbaby are closing down in Manchester, so the route will literally cease to exist. (Unlike BA Connect going bump and Flybe taking over, because the BMIbaby planes are moving to Cardiff).
There are other options to fly to Gerona, Barcelona, Toulouse and Carcassonne airports.
For me, I would pick up a hired car, but mum is not the best at driving in France when stressed, as I found out last week when I was over with her.
A couple of questions:
1. What are the 4 airport options above like for train / access from the airport getting to Perpignan by train?
2. Gerona may be a car hire option – however, I am struggling to find a website that has cross-border option for checking the rates and options.
3. Are there an other good UK to Perpignan routes? I heard there was a flight from Birmingham which is easy enough to get to, but can only find a Flybe to Toulouse – really don’t want to have to go to London airports unless really needed.
It is a very nice apartment, if we can get to the darned place!!
