Bordeaux airport is served by airport coaches connecting with the city centre and the St.Jean train station. Cheapest way has been the bus (line 1) a single ticket €1.70 OR a 1 day pass €5.00, if you would stay like to spend few days in the city of Bordeaux. The extension of tram line A is supposed to reach the airport any time now, keep you eyes open as this would be a real improvement.
