The platform machine sells only the EUR 10 Aéro return; the EUR 1.70 Solo needs a card or the Android app. The Selectour desk in the terminal sells both the card and the Solo; so do the machines at Grand Arénas, one free stop away.

Board the tram marked Port Lympia. Line B leaves the same platforms and turns north to the CADAM administrative center after Grand Arénas.

Validate on the platform before boarding, every person, every time; a Solo allows connections for 74 minutes in the same direction, so tram 1 to Gare Thiers is included.

The last tram is 23:51 Monday to Saturday and 23:46 on Sunday, 00:51 on Friday and Saturday nights; nothing then leaves the terminals until 05:20. The 12+ bus from the Promenade stop runs to 00:54.

Bags larger than 55 x 25 x 35 cm are outside the operator's stated rule, and trolleys are banned on board. The airport's free inter-terminal link is this same tram.

Eight people pay EUR 13.60 here against EUR 32 in one taxi. Buying eight Aéro tickets at the platform would be EUR 80.
