Watch out for
NTE
No traditional Priority Pass lounge — Les Brasses is restaurant credit onlyClassic EU 100 ml liquids still apply (no published CT waiver)Night curfew ~midnight–06:00 since April 2022 shapes early/late banksNantes–Paris Orly flights banned since May 2023 — take the TGV instead
RNS
No Priority Pass / LoungeKey lounge at RNSClassic EU ≤100 ml liquids — no published CT waiverOnly car park P3 is open; walk-up day rates climb fast vs online bookingTerminal opening hours track the schedule — not a 24/7 landside hall
NTE · Compact VINCI-run western France gateway with a €10 Naolib shuttle and easy single-terminal navigation — undercut by an ~82% low-cost mix, Priority Pass reduced to a Hall 1 restaurant visit, classic 100 ml rules, and a midnight–06:00 curfew.
RNS · Compact Brittany single-terminal field with a useful STAR C6 into République and honest ~€18–€20 taxi guide fares — undercut by no Priority Pass lounge, classic 100 ml security, P3-only parking, and terminal hours that follow the flight programme rather than staying open all night.
