Can anyone help with cheap airlines to Perpignan in March.

Ryanair and BMI used to fly direct but, i dont think they cover this destination anymore ?

BMI stopped a few years back. Think Ryanair fly to Carcasonne.

Don't fly to pepignan its too expensive, fly to either Gerona which is 60 miles and hire car same with carcassonne 70 miles or Montpellier 90 miles which is £20 return on train, dont stop in Perpignan, stay in or around Canet Roussilon, as saturday night is great and you'll bump in to the players from both teams if you go in to the right bars plus it has one of the best beaches on the whole of the Med (when it's not windy)

Team of 6 going Thursday until Sunday. LBA TO BARCA £100 return. In view of time of year avoiding the Coast and south of France and Barca will be our base. Cheap shared car to Perpignan match day, head to cafe Vienna, match and back to Barca for a few late night scoops to celebrate a memorable victory!

Cheers folks.
We stayed in Carcassone for the first Catalan/Trin game and it was excellent and Montpelier is a smart City.
I was hoping to get a direct flight to Perpignan, straight in,watch the game and back the following day ?
This may not be possible but, if anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

As FT says Girona is a good bet.
Me and a mate did it a couple of years ago, Dave Foti picked us up at the airport (Friday late afternoon) and took us to Canet (about an hour) and picked us up early on the sunday morning for our return flight.

Don't think there are any flights into Perpignan this early in the season then the flight is from Stanstead. The Carcasonne flight also has not started in March.

Your best bet if you wish to fly in Saturday and back Sunday is Ryanair Manchester to Girona currently looking at £132. Foti should pick you up and there should be a few of us going back on the Sunday with CST.

I would not stay too long in Perpignan in March. We went to the game at Easter once and alot of the restaurants & shops were shut. Its also not that warm so not the time of year to sit outside the bars etc ( those that are open !)

Thanks Feline you have made my mind up keep the dosh in the bank and use it for the season after nexts season ticket

Completely agree with Feline ... looking for a flight (or even combination of flights/trains) out Friday and back Sunday
but not really having any joy

If anybody finds something suitable please share it with us all !!!

Yes we went to the Easter game and it was cold.We ended up watching Pia with Maxime G. There were some bars and restaurants open but as you say because of Easter the shops were closed. It's certainly a different experience when the weather is cold but as long as you are prepared-no problem. I am finding it difficult to get flights too because of the time of year!

With the lack of flights to Perpignan, it looks like Barcelona + Car hire is the most likely option ?

Girona is a better bet than barcelona, or even Montpellier, far easier to get away from the Airport than Barcelona.
BTW the motorway is a Toll road but it's way way quicket
r than using the non tolls, and last time I went from Barca (2010) the tolls cost just over 14 euro and last year when I went from montpellier tolls were 11 euro that's an eachway price
and don't speed on the toll roads there are loads of cameras/patrols also they work out your average speed between the toll booths
