Picking up and returning
Driving to the airport
The airport lies just outside the Périphérique de Nantes, the ring motorway, and a short access road joins the two. Every major road and motorway into the city meets that ring, and several open and covered car parks stand in the terminal area.
Public transport into town
The tram will not be extended to the airport, and the railway that runs right beside the site will go unused; a dedicated busway is planned instead. Bus 98 riders should buy a ticket outside Arrivals, because the Lindbergh roundabout stop has no machine.
