5 tips to avoid traffic jams to Nantes Atlantique airport

Ne vous laissez plus ralentir par le trafic lorsque vous allez à l'aéroport Nantes Atlantique. Voulez-vous savoir comment ? Voici 5 recommandations pour éviter les bouchons vers l'aéroport de NTE.

 

1. Avoid high traffic hours 🕐

The best way to avoid getting stuck in traffic is obviously not to take the route during or just before rush hour. That's when the traffic is at its worst.

Take the route in advance to make sure you don't run out of time. Several hours before departure, you can start your journey so that you arrive early. With enough hours in advance, you can even hit traffic without fear of missing your flight. So it's just a matter of doing a little time evaluation.

 

2. Book a hotel near the airport 🏨

Why not take the time to relax and feel comfortable in a hotel before you leave? Give yourself time to breathe the air of the city of Nantes by going there the day before. This may even be an opportunity to discover some local specialties and interesting places.

Simply make a hotel reservation so you can relax and catch your flight on time. There are some interesting hotels near the airport. For example, 400m away, you can take a room in the Escale Oceania Nantes, a space that guests really appreciate, given the friendliness found there. The rooms are beautiful and well equipped. A swimming pool and a roof terrace are also available.

Modern, soundproofed rooms await you at Hotel Oceania Nantes. Just a 10-minute walk from the airport, there is also the B&B Hotel Nantes Aéroport which welcomes you in a warm atmosphere. Make your reservation the day before, for more assurance.

 

3. Take the airport shuttle 🚌

Every 20 minutes, airport shuttles are available to facilitate your travel. In terms of comfort and time, this alternative is clearly a good compromise to public transportation if you want to travel by road.

Airport shuttles operate every day of the week, including weekends. They are much faster than regular public transportation. You only have to pay 9€ for the trip.

Departure is from three different stations: the SNCF train station, downtown Nantes and the Cité des Congrès. However, if it is true that the shuttles offer a top service, they do not unblock the traffic jams. Therefore, remember to leave early. Take the departure at the right time to be sure not to fall in the hours where there is a lot of affluence.

 

4. Take TAN public transport 🚍

Saving money is always a good idea! TAN public transport helps you do just that! And you have the choice: 55 different bus lines and 7 chronobuses. The airport shuttle is certainly a little more exclusive, but it is also part of the TAN network.

Thanks to public transport, moving between the 22 communes is certainly easier. With the exception of the airport shuttle, all public transport can be used for the very low price of 1.60 €. The drivers of these transports know how to avoid traffic jams. You save time, but also money, so you can enjoy a good cocktail before your departure!

 

5. To not waste more time, book a Blue Valet 🚘

If you want to drive your car to the airport and still save time, then the best solution is to book a Blue Valet. With a good knowledge of the city, he can facilitate your trip and allow you not to waste more time.

Blue Valet offers a professional service to secure your car during your trip. Your vehicle is carefully guarded in a private parking lot until your return. Upon arrival, your Blue Valet valet will pick you up at the terminal itself. You will get your car back just as you left it.
