Highlights: The Spanish low-cost airline organizes three connections a week between the two cities. From the Pink City to Las Ramblas in an hour's flight. The fastest train journey today takes almost four hours and requires a change in Narbonne. A direct train connected the two metropolises in three hours until 2021 - allow four hours for a car ride. This line, opened in 2013, had closed during the health crisis and has never reopened. The SNCF and its Spanish equivalent Renfe had deemed the number of passengers insufficient.

Tickets on sale on the Vueling website range from 22.9 to 79.9 euros one way. Three connections per week are currently displayed. The Spanish company is the only one to offer a direct flight between these two cities.

A direct train buried with Covid

More ecological, a direct train connected the two metropolises in three hours until 2021 - allow four hours for a car ride. This line, opened in 2013, had closed during the health crisis and has never reopened. The SNCF and its Spanish equivalent Renfe had deemed the number of passengers insufficient.

But the Occitanie region and the two cities are calling for its recovery. "In a context where the fight against climate change is a priority, we are convinced that such a link is essential," said in March the mayor of Toulouse, Jean-Luc Moudenc, quoted by the Dépêche du midi.
