From
The Navette stop at the arrivals level, ground floor, outside door C2, beside the Tisséo agency at the foot of the closed tram station
To

It needs its own EUR 9.50 ticket: an ordinary EUR 1.90 ticket, a day ticket or a Ticket tribu will not do. The Navette ticket in turn covers four lines of the network for 1h30, so the metro onward from Jean Jaurès or Marengo is included.
Timetabled 15 to 22 minutes to Jean Jaurès and 17 to 25 to Matabiau for most of the day, but 34 and 38 for departures between 17:00 and 18:30 on weekdays — the airport's "moins de 25 minutes" is a fair-weather figure.
Five or six people should buy the 6-trip ticket, EUR 39.70 for the group, instead of singles at EUR 47.50 or 57 — but it is sold at machines and agencies, not on board, so at the airport that means the Tisséo agency by door C2 (Monday to Friday 07:30–14:00, Sunday 13:00–19:30) or a machine there if one is in service. On board it is singles at EUR 9.50 by bank card.
A taxi beats shuttle singles from five people (EUR 41 against EUR 47.50; EUR 53 against EUR 76 for eight) and the 6-trip ticket from seven (EUR 49 against EUR 49.20). The EUR 1.90 chain is cheaper than both at every size, and a Tribu carries six to twelve for EUR 9.50.
Pay by tapping a contactless bank card or phone on the Navette's validator — up to five people on one card, EUR 9.50 each, debited the next day — or buy at a metro or tram machine or at the Tisséo agency by door C2. The airport's page still says EUR 9; expect EUR 9.50.
Last departure from the airport 00:35 every night, first 05:50; the airport's page says 00:10 and 05:40, but Tisséo's own timetable is used here. Nothing else leaves the airport between the last Navette and the first bus 31 at 05:30.
The Tisséo bus stops at the arrivals level, ground floor, by door C2 at the foot of the closed tram station, where the Tisséo agency is
To
Arènes, where metro A takes over for Esquirol, Capitole, Jean Jaurès or Marengo-SNCF for Matabiau (4 to 9 minutes): the bus reaches Guyenne-Berry in Blagnac in 9 to 13 minutes, tram T1 from there to Arènes takes 18 to 21
Luggage
A city bus, a tram and the metro, with two changes: no racks, and whatever you carry rides with you three times.

This is the replacement for tram T2, closed since 5 June 2023 while its tracks become the Ligne Aéroport, expected to open by the end of 2026. When it opens, the bus 31 leg becomes a six-minute tram to the T1 at the new Blagnac station instead.
Timetabled 38 to 50 minutes to Jean Jaurès against 15 to 34 on the Navette, for EUR 1.90 against EUR 9.50. Six or more should buy one Ticket tribu, EUR 9.50 for the whole party: eight pay EUR 9.50 here, EUR 58.70 on the shuttle with its 6-trip ticket, and EUR 53 in a taxi.
One ticket, validated three times, within an hour of first validation: bus 31 (10 minutes), T1 from Guyenne-Berry to Arènes (18 to 21), metro A (5 to 7 to Jean Jaurès). The hour is comfortable; the 1h30 the Navette ticket gets is not available on this route.
The last useful bus is earlier than the last bus: 31s run to midnight every day, but the T1 from Guyenne-Berry stops at 23:41 Monday to Wednesday and 23:51 on Sunday, so the 23:25 (Mon–Wed) and 23:15 (Sun) departures are the last to get you into the center. Thursday to Saturday, the midnight bus still connects.
Buy before boarding or tap a bank card: the driver of bus 31 sells only the EUR 2.50 "dernière minute" single. The Ticket tribu is sold at machines and agencies only — at the airport, the Tisséo agency by door C2 (Monday to Friday 07:30–14:00, Sunday 13:00–19:30) — so a group arriving outside those hours pays singles on the bus 31 leg. The airport's pages print differing figures for the same ticket; expect EUR 1.90.
For metro B destinations (Compans-Caffarelli, Jeanne d'Arc, Carmes) stay on the T1 to Palais de Justice, 28 to 31 minutes from Guyenne-Berry, and change there.
