From Stansted

Ryanair has daily flights from Stansted to Perpignan. Flight time is approximately 1 hour 45 minutes.

Alternative airports with cheap flights from Stansted are:-
- Montpellier, Carcassonne, Nimes and particularly Gerona (Spain) all by Ryanair ;
and
- Barcelona EasyJet ,
each about 2 to 3 hours drive away.

NOTE:- Ryanair now has three or four flights daily from Stansted to Gerona. When booking on the Ryanair web site, look for "Girona (Barcelona)", as this is what Ryanair insist on calling Gerona - although the airport is 100 kilometers from Barcelona!

For cheaper car parking than the official Stansted site we have used "Alternative Car Parking" - they keep your car on a site about half a mile from the terminal and take you to the airport. You phone them when you have got your luggage and they pick you up from the terminal. The service is better than the normal car park, as well as cheaper. Their (mobile) telephone number is 07775 943601 and can be hard to get a reply! They do not work on Thursdays, and are so successful that they have a minimum charge. They do not take credit cards!! For Thursday flights, call 01279 657410 for a similar service.

There is a direct train service from Birmingham to Stansted (calling at Nuneaton, Leicester, Melton Mowbray, Oakham, etc). For Internet booking - see Trainline.
