    Sole passenger lounge: La Croix du Sud (Hall C airside) — Priority Pass;
    walk-in €30 from 1 Jan 2026; Sat closes 20:00
bentoTips:
  - label: Transport
    title: Navette is fast — bus 30/31 is cheap
    detail: >-
      Tisséo’s dedicated airport shuttle stops outside Hall B and runs roughly
      every 15–20 minutes daytime to Compans-Caffarelli, Jeanne d’Arc, Jean
      Jaurès, and Gare routière / Matabiau (~20–25 min). From 1 July 2026 the
      official “1 déplacement aéroport” title is €9.50 (includes up to four
      transfers on the Tisséo network within 90 minutes). Budget option: city
      buses 30 or 31 at the standard single fare (€1.90 from 1 Jul 2026) then
      metro/tram — allow ~45 minutes to Place du Capitole. The former T2 tram to
      the terminal stopped on 5 June 2023; Tisséo’s replacement Aéroport Express
      shuttle is scheduled for end-2026 and is not passenger service yet — do
      not plan on a tram ride as of August 2026.
    summary: Shuttle €9.50/~25 min; bus 30/31 €1.90 if you have time.
    category: timing
  - label: Security
    title: Classic 100 ml — Coupe-File from ~€7
    detail: >-
      Official ATB security pages still require LAG containers ≤100 ml / 100 g
      in one transparent resealable bag (~20×20 cm). Laptops and large
      electronics out of the bag. No published CT “liquids stay in bag” waiver.
      All passengers funnel through Hall D level 1 security. Paid Premium Access
      / Coupe-File is open to every airline (QR code at the priority lane) —
      airport blog lists access from €7; buy on store.toulouse.aeroport.fr or
      the ATB app. Be at the gate ≥30 minutes before departure per airport
      guidance.
    summary: Pack the LAG bag; buy Coupe-File if peak queues look ugly.
    category: terminal
  - label: Food
    title: Landside snack before Hall D security
    detail: >-
      Check-in spreads across Halls A–D on the departures level, but everyone
      clears security in Hall D — grab coffee/pastries landside near your hall
      before you commit to the queue. Airside F&B clusters in the boarding
      lounges (especially Hall C/D); most kitchens wind down by ~21:00, matching
      the airport’s early-start / early-finish rhythm. Croix du Sud lounge food
      is self-service snacks and drinks if you have access.
    summary: Eat landside first — security is centralised in Hall D.
    category: food
  - label: Lounge
    title: 'Croix du Sud — only lounge, Sat closes 20:00'
    detail: >-
      La Croix du Sud sits airside in Hall C opposite the gate 33–36 area (after
      Hall D security). Official hours: Mon–Fri 05:15–21:00, Sat 05:15–20:00,
      Sun 05:45–21:00. Priority Pass / LoungeKey / Diners / Dragon Pass / Lounge

      door). Non-Schengen passengers must visit before passport control. No
      showers. Children under 3 free on Priority Pass.
    summary: 'One lounge for the whole airport — useless after 20:00 on Saturdays.'

Toulouse, France · Europe
Compact Airbus-side regional hub with central Hall D security, one solid Priority Pass lounge, and a clear €9.50 city shuttle — tempered by classic 100 ml rules, a closed airport tram until late 2026, and 2025 traffic soft after the easyJet base exit.
