Terminal Information – Departing

Jet2.com fly from Manchester Airport's Terminal 2 from the 1st of February 2019 (and Terminal 1 prior to this date). Here you will find WHSmith, Boots, Biza Duty Free Shopping and a small selection of other shops. Brodericks, Burger King and Frankie and Benny’s are just a few of the bars and restaurants available. If you are travelling with children there are two play areas located in the lounge, one for under 3s and another for children aged 3 to 8.

Terminal Information – Arriving

Nice Airport has two terminals. It's easy to get into Nice using public transport. Buses 98 and 99 go to the main bus station and train station respectively, and stop at both terminals. They run every half an hour, and one-way tickets cost €6* (about £4.45). Buses to other destinations, including Monaco and Marseille, are also available. Car hire is available at Nice Airport, and when you compare prices with Skyscanner you're guaranteed a good deal. There's a taxi rank near Gate A1 of Terminal 1 and near Gate A3 of Terminal 2.

Practical Information

You need a valid passport to travel to France from the UK. It only has to be valid for the full duration of your journey. We recommend arriving at the airport at least 90 minutes before your flight is due to depart, or two hours before if you have luggage to check in. Give yourself a little longer if you're travelling during rush hour: i.e. first thing in the morning, early evening, during school holidays and at weekends. These are the times that security is busier, and there can often be hold ups.

What to expect in Nice

The French use the Euro (€). Prices in Nice are slightly lower than in Manchester, but are more expensive than other destinations in France and southern Europe. People flock to Nice for the gorgeous weather: the average temperature during July and August is 24°C. Despite its pleasant atmosphere, over the past few years Nice has gained a reputation for violent crime. Watch out for pickpockets during the day, and avoid the seafront area late at night.
