Flights to Figari are available with Ryanair from London Stansted 3 times a week, and whilst the town itself is fairly unremarkable, it does provide excellent access to the L'Extreme Sud and Gulfs of the West regions of Corsica. The airport is around 25kms from Porto Vecchio and 21kms from Bonifacio.
Accommodation in the L'Extreme Sud region
Accommodation in Gulfs of the West region
As public transport is very limited in Corsica, hiring a car is accepted as the best method of getting about. We offer discounted car hire with Hertz and would recommend that you pre-book your hire car as availability is limited and the rates you will pay on arrival are higher than pre-booking.
The Airport
As a provincial airport it has very limited facilities – there is a small café and a tabac with a very small selection of magazines, sweets and souvenirs. WCs are directly opposite arrivals. There is no pharmacy or cash point or any facility for changing money. There are no duty-free shops at the airport. Check in desks open 2 hours before the flight departure time. Should you need help with anything, Corsican Places Representatives will be at the airport.
