## Overview

## Welcome

Perpignan-Rivesaltes Airport (PGF) offers a low-friction travel experience. Located just 5 km northwest of Perpignan, it's ideal if you're looking for speed and predictability over amenities. With only one compact terminal, T1, the focus here is on efficient in-and-out travel. It's a hallmark of regional transit rather than a full-service hub, so don't expect to linger.

## At a glance

You won't find expansive amenities here. The airport features one terminal and caters to basic needs. With no overnight stays possible and minimal food and shopping choices, it's best suited for short waits and quick getaways. Air France and Ryanair are among the airlines that fly in and out.

## Terminals & layout

Perpignan-Rivesaltes has a single terminal, T1. Despite the basic layout, it manages to provide necessary services like dining and Wi-Fi. Priority Pass Lounge in T1 is available for €30, offering a reprieve for those who need a quiet corner before their flight.

## Getting to and from the city

Transport options to Perpignan are straightforward. A taxi will get you there in about 15-20 minutes, or you can opt for a rideshare. The Tako Taxi Share is available for a budget-friendly shared ride. Those preferring public transport can take a train or bus, which will bring you to the city in about 30-40 and 40-50 minutes respectively. Shuttle services also operate along the same lines.

## Traveller essentials

At T1, enjoy free Wi-Fi by logging in with "Free WiFi Airport." Daily visitors can choose from several parking options: Short Stay Parking is €20 per day, while Long Stay is more economical at €15 per day. The ATM next to the parking payment kiosk comes in handy for last-minute cash needs.

## Dining & shopping highlights

Culinary offerings are limited. Tribb’s stands out as the preferred option for both meals and convenience items. Other dining spots include Café Perpignan and Bar Perpignan, all located within T1. Shopping shares a similar fate with limited options: Duty Free Shop, Fashion Store, and Souvenir Shop provide the essentials, but don’t plan on any major retail therapy here.

## Lounges

The Priority Pass Lounge in T1 charges €30 for entry, and while the Air France Lounge is available for eligible passengers, the facilities are still streamlined. Nothing extravagant, just functional spaces to relax.
