Montpellier Airport is located about 5 mins from Junction 29 of the A9 motorway and as such is very easy to find. Just follow the signs for "Aeroport Montpellier Mediterranee".

Montpellier Airport is ranked as the 9th largest airport in France and the main airport in the Languedoc.

If you're flying in to Montpellier then you'll find the Montpellier Airport arrivals hall in the main terminal building on the ground floor, just as you come through baggage reclaim.

It's actually in the same building and on the same floor as Montpellier Airport departures so you'll find it easy to find your way around when it's time to go home. Just have a look off to your right as you come through baggage reclaim into the main hall and you'll see the check in areas for departures.

There are several options available for flights from the UK to Montpellier. You can either fly from Gatwick to Montpellier or from Stansted to Montpellier.

If you're flying with out of Montpellier Airport then you'll probably have to kill a bit of time before you go to your departure gate. There's pretty much nothing once you go through into the departure lounge so I suggest you stay in the main terminal area for as long as possible.

When you do go through into the departure lounge you'll find a tiny gift shop and a tiny cafe/bar. These seem to only be open during the summer season.

But don't worry. There are bars and restaurants at Montpellier Airport located in the main terminal building before you go through to Montpellier Airport departures.

If you're goin to need to take a taxi from the airport then don't worry. They're easy to find and are all metered so you won't get ripped off.

As you come through baggage reclaim into the main hall you'll see the doors leaving the terminal building straight ahead of you. Go through these doors and you'll see the Montpellier airport taxis all lined up in front of you. If you decide that you don't want to wait in line then you might want to consider private Montpellier Transfers.
