Buy online (lametropolemobilite.fr / store.marseille.aeroport.fr/bus), machines, guichets, or contactless onboard. Budget alternative: TER to Vitrolles Aéroport Marseille Provence (VAMP; up to ~73 trains/day) then LeBus+ 13 from Quai 5 (~5 min, €1.20 unit / included in Pass Métropolitain) — roughly €8.70 total one-way vs €15 on A1. Taxi rank is in front of Terminal 1; metered prefectural tariffs — expect roughly €50–65 daytime to Saint-Charles / centre and more at night or in traffic. summary: A1 €15/€26 to Saint-Charles; TER+bus ~€8.70 if you can transfer. category: timing - label: Security title: Check MP1 vs MP2 — then Coupe-File if peaks worry you detail: >- Confirm Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 on your boarding pass / airport departures board before you leave for the airport — the buildings are not connected airside. Coupe-File priority screening is €7 per use (or €140 annual) and is offered in both terminals. Pack classic EU liquids: ≤100 ml containers in one transparent ~1 L bag. Marseille has not published a cabin-liquids waiver (still on the 100 ml list as of early 2026 reporting) — assume electronics out unless lane signage says otherwise. Arrive with airline-recommended buffers, especially for early Ryanair/easyJet banks in T2. summary: Wrong terminal costs more time than any queue; pack 100 ml rules. category: terminal - label: Lounge title: T1 paid lounges — PP is EU lounge or restaurant credit detail: >- Terminal 1 airside only: Salon Union Européenne / domestic (Schengen) online €29, typically 05:00–21:00; Salon International (non-Schengen) online €39, typically 05:30–22:00. Four-hour stay after first entry; snacks, soft drinks, alcohol, Wi-Fi, power, FIDS. Terminal 2 has no airport lounge. Priority Pass / LoungeKey: VIP-European Union Flights Lounge (Schengen/domestic only, Hall B 1st floor after security) plus €23 meal credits at L’Échappée Provençale and Les Jardins Sainte Victoire (T1) and La Cantine du Voyage (T2 airside 1st floor, 04:00–22:00). Non-Schengen PP holders do not get the International salon via PP. summary: Buy T1 salon tickets by zone; T2 flyers use Cantine €23 credit. category: status - label: Food title: Refill after security — Twyd fountains are installed detail: >- Marseille Provence has installed contactless Twyd drinking fountains in the terminals for refillable bottles. Bring an empty bottle through security and refill airside rather than relying only on shops. Landside and airside cafés still sell sealed water (~€2–€4 typical for 0.5 L). T2 F&B is thinner than renovated T1 — eat or buy water before a long T2 wait if you care about choice. Toilet tap water in French airports is generally potable if you need a backup. summary: Empty bottle + airside fountain beats buying multiple bottles. category: food lounges: - name: Salon Union Européenne (VIP EU Flights Lounge) hours: '05:00-21:00 daily (confirm store / Priority Pass on travel day)' access: - Paid day pass (online €29) - Priority Pass / LoungeKey (Schengen and domestic flights only) - Airline / status invitations where applicable bestFor: - Schengen and domestic departures from Terminal 1 - Priority Pass holders on EU/domestic flights - Quiet seat before AF / LH / KL / Volotea banks summary: >- Airport-operated Schengen/domestic lounge airside in Terminal 1 Hall B, 1st floor after security (follow lounge signs; near gate area).

Same amenity style as the EU salon (catering, drinks, Wi-Fi, screens); airport store highlights a refreshed, larger space. Online adult entry €39; 4-hour stay. Not listed as a Priority Pass lounge — PP holders on non-Schengen flights should budget for a paid ticket or use a T1 restaurant credit instead.

Useful when you are not eligible for the VIP EU lounge (wrong zone) or prefer a proper meal over lounge snacks.
