Col81 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Hi, i have some flights paid for with Ryanair that i need to switch. Does anyone know if it would be easier to switch to the Catalan away trip or Toulose i have never been away before for a rugby match so any advice with nearest travel destination/airport would be welcomed. It is for the Saints games. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 To fly direct to Perpignan, you used to have to fly from Stansted rather than anywhere in the north. I don’t know if this is still the case. The city centre is not far from the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnyia Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 They fly from Birmingham to Perpignan I think, carcassonne is just short of an hours drive to Toulouse. And an hour and a bit to Perpignan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barnyia Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Which airlines do Toulouse to Manchester? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tui although not all year round according to this info below. Ryanair do London Stansted direct to Toulouse which could be an option for fans travelling, it’s not in London it’s virtually the Midlands. https://thegetawaylounge.co.uk/blog/which-uk-airports-fly-direct-to-toulouse Edited February 3 by Sir Kevin Sinfield 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Pickup Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Manchester to Carcassonne, Ryanair flies on Monday's and Friday's. Carcassonne to Perpignan by car is only around 1h30. Better still, stay at our chambres d'hôtes in Saint Laurent de la Cabrerisse, only 30 minutes from Carcassonne and 45 minutes from the Stade Brutus!

Col81 Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Manchester to Carcassonne then a train to Toulouse Friday to Monday, any experience thoughts? recommendations to stay? bars to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) There's a cheap little hotel opposite Carcassonne railway station called Hotel Bristol and plenty of bars in and around the old town: There's a regular shuttle bus that connects the airport with the railway station and vice versa if you want to stay there but Toulouse has better hotel options: there are loads around the Boulevard de Strasbourg. Also plenty of bars in that area and in central Toulouse. Trains between Carcassonne-Toulouse and back are quite frequent. One an hour - ish Rule of thumb with Toulouse is try and avoid staying the area around the railway station, particularly if on your own at night. The city centre itself is safe, picturesque and has a great atmosphere. Best burgers = Coyote Burgers near St Sernin cathedral (some good bars round there as well) Edited February 21 by Dave W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col81 Posted February 21 Author Share Posted February 21 Really appreciate the advice, i am going to watch Saints, i presume the tickets are bought from Saints for the match? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed in the Ibis which is literally in the centre, it's an Ibis so cheap, clean and cheerful. Delirium Cafe is fantastic, the beer menu is bigger than most restaurants have for food!! Obviously there's the usual British offerings - The Melting Pot and Pub o Clock which are opposite each other but get rammed on an evening, The Thirsty Monk is also a good but very busy place. Have a wander down to the riverside through the old town too and check out some of the bars down that side. Oh and don't expect public transport to get you to the stadium!!.

ShropshireBull Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Apropos of nothing. I actually have the weekend Catalan play Toulouse off as the school is closed so I´ll be getting the bus from Madrid to Barca then hopefully a train to perpignan to watch it.

Les Tonks Sidestep Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 For Toulouse also consider Manchester to/from Beziers. Could pick up flights both directions for <£12 last October (return for me and Mrs S would have been £32!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygilf Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 (edited) Me and a few mates considering going for TO vs Hull on Friday and Cats vs Leeds on Saturday in July, should be fun! Edited February 21 by Tommygilf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
