Tips for travelers at EGC
The airport sits about 3 km from Bergerac town center, so a taxi runs you maybe 10 minutes and won't break the bank. Car rental is the smarter play for most arrivals since the Dordogne isn't exactly built around public transit — you'll want wheels once you're here. Ryanair operates several of the UK routes, so pack light or pay up. Summer schedules are heavier than winter ones, and some routes run seasonally only, so double-check before you book anything for January. Arriving early isn't really necessary — this terminal moves fast.
