Book flights from Nice

Which airlines fly from Nice?

Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) is France's third-busiest airport, with easyJet operating a major base alongside Air France, British Airways, Lufthansa and Ryanair. Between them they serve most major European cities as well as seasonal long-haul flights to New York and Dubai. easyJet and Air France usually offer the most flexibility on main European routes.

How do I get from Nice airport to the city centre?

Tram line 2 runs from both terminals to Nice's city centre and port in about 15 minutes for a flat €1.70 - easily the best value, connecting line 1 to the rest of the city. A taxi to the centre is roughly €30-35; and the airport is only 7km west, so it's a quick trip either way.

How do I get from Nice airport to Monaco, Cannes or St Tropez?

For Monaco, the express bus 110 runs direct in about 50 minutes (€22), alternatively you can take the train from Nice-Ville. Cannes is reached by bus 210 or a coastal train in around 30-40 minutes. St Tropez is trickier - roughly 1.5-2 hours by road, or a scenic seasonal ferry in summer; a pre-booked private transfer is the least stressful option for the Riviera resorts.

When is the cheapest time to fly from Nice?

Shoulder and low season - roughly October to April, excluding Christmas and February half-term - is a far cheaper time to fly to Nice than the summer Riviera peak. Avoid the Cannes Film Festival in May and the Monaco Grand Prix in late May, when demand and fares spike dramatically. Mid-week departures booked a few weeks out offer the best value.
