When booking long distance or from another country, you may do best with Air France and its associates because Corsica's airline is CCM Airlines , in which Air France is a shareholder. This will mean you can get advantageous prices for the whole journey. You can book a CCM flight through the Air France website.

Another useful site, if you have a complicated journey, is Wegolo. This site will give you a number of different options for getting where you want to go from the French mainland and beyond.

If you are booking travel other than package holidays, remember that in Corsica, road transport is measured in time not distance. So if you want to stay in the north, for instance, a flight or ferry to the south could easily add four hours to your journey time.

Corsica Isula has arranged a special offer for car hire in Corsica. The way it works is that the best deals in each car category from different car hire majors is made available to you. this saves you messing around trying to find the best deals. So, click here for Corsica Isula Car Hire.

Airports in Corsica

There are four international airports in Corsica: Ajaccio (West); Bastia (Northeast); Calvi (Northwest); and Figari (South). You may wish to choose an arrival airport as close as possible to your eventual destination - travelling by car here takes longer than you'd think due to the mountainous terrain. And here's a site in English all about Bastia Airport: http://www.bastiaairport.com.

Travel from France

Air France and its partner CCM Airlines run services to Corsica from many locations in mainland France, including Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand, Nice, Marseilles, Lyon, Lille, Mulhouse, Nantes, Quimper, Strasbourg, Toulouse, Montpellier and of course Paris (Orly).

Charter flights: summer flights are run by Regional Airlines (Air France subsidiary) from Clermont-Ferrand to Ajaccio. French charter flight operators include Nouvelles Frontières and Corsair . Nouvelles Frontières do specials on scheduled services, but in the main they only work from Corsica. CCM Airlines plan charters from Caen to Ajaccio.

Obviously if you do the low-cost airlines or any others to Nice or Marseille, and if you are not using the ferry, you will need the onward legs to Corsica with Air France. The way into finding out from wherever you wish to travel is best done 'backwards' - i.e. go to Nice or Marseille airports, for example, and see incoming flights and when you've located possible departure points then go to the sites of the airlines concerned.

Travel from other European countries.

Cheap flights via other Continental airports: As with cheap flights from the UK, most continental flights go to Marseille or Nice in France or such airports as Pisa in Italy (for onward travel via ferry) or to Sardinia (onward by ferry also).
