Using Webjet you’ll be able to quickly find the cheapest flights on any airline as well as the best days to fly for the absolute lowest price airfare possible. Only about 6 km south of Nice itself, the Nice Côte d'Azur Airport also serves as more or less the official airport for travel into Monaco, which has frequent helicopter service for rich citizens and guests who don't want to use ground transportation for the short distance. As a very popular resort region, renting a car is common for those who want to explore more than one city, but there are plenty of other transportation options.

Airfare to Nice

Nearly all the flights to Nice originate elsewhere in Europe, though there are some seasonal services from North America and other long-haul routes. Several low-cost carriers fly into the Nice Airport, and this means that fares tend to be low on all airlines, especially for those who book well in advance. You can reach Nice directly from nearly any major airport in Europe, so those coming from North America have many options for cheap flights as long as they are willing to change planes once along the way.

Flight information for Nice Airport

The Nice Côte d'Azur Airport has two large terminals, with most airlines using the older Terminal 1, while Air France, EasyJet, and a few others use the more modern Terminal 2. This is France's third busiest airport, following the two major airports in Paris, and it receives very little tranfer traffic so ground resources can become strained when several flights land at the same time. All important signs are in English and French, so international travelers generally find it easy to know where to go.

Airlines that fly into Nice Airport

Air France has frequent flights from both Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, as well as some other large French cities. EasyJet flies in from all over the UK and France, while RyanAir flies in from Dublin. Delta Airlines flies directly into Nice from New York City, but those from North America can also get good deals on the other major European carriers including British Airways, Iberia Airlines, KLM Airlines, and Lufthansa Airlines. Those coming from the east can connect through Dubai and arrive on Emirates Airlines.

Nice Airport ground transportation

Since the airport is so close to the city center, ground transportation options are abundant and reasonably priced. There are plenty of airport express buses that go to the Nice beach area as well as to the train station, which is handy for those going to another nearby city. Taxis are plentiful, though expensive, and those going to Monaco can take one of the aforementioned helicopters for the fastest possible trip if money is no object.
