Flights to Cannes

If you're flying to Cannes for the Film Festival (or another event) then your main point of entry will be Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (airport code NCE). After Paris, Nice is the second busiest air destination in France so is well serviced by low-cost airlines in Europe and long haul carriers from most other major centres. A smaller airport, Cannes-Mandelieu (airport code CEQ), closer to the city, but this is primarily used by private jets and charter flights.
