Essential info if you’re stranded in Cannes
This article was originally written during MIPTV 2010, when thousands of people were stranded in Cannes and Nice due to the shutdown of European airports. The info remains useful in case of air or rail strikes, which is why I left it. News is added in the comments section as updates. Although many people are [...]
EasyJet to start 6 weekly flights Nice-Rome
Low cost carrier EasyJet has just announced that it will start operating 6 weekly flights between Rome Fiumicino and Nice airport as of March 12. A quick look at their site threw up prices of between €25.99 to €38.99, which seems reasonable. EasyJet flies to 15 other destinations from Nice and carried 2.1 million passengers [...]
Cannes news and tips to your desk
If you attend Cannes for Midem, Mipim, MipTV or the Cannes Film festival, perhaps you should get the relevant news straight to your desk rather than coming across it by accident on the web. Cannes or Bust runs an occasional newsletter with just that: tips, news, special offers and links to people with bright ideas. [...]
Milow plays a showcase gig aboard a flight to Geneva
Belgian singer Milow, in the charts across Europe with his version of “Ayo Technology”, was invited by Nice Airport, Kiss FM and Baboo airline to play a short set on a flight between Nice and Geneva on December 8 last. The passengers included winners of a competition on French radio Kiss FM. Baboo connects Nice [...]
Nice airport experiments with mobile phone boarding passes
I’ve been reading for years about mobile phones being used as “tokens” that would act as concert tickets, bus passes and other uses. Nice airport is currently road-testing a system that would enable travellers to use their mobile phones as a boarding pass. After checking in (notably via the Internet), the traveller simply has to [...]
Toulon airport to Cannes
I occasionally get questions about reaching Cannes from Toulon airport. It’s certainly a cheap option as the flights are nearly all from low-cost carriers, but not very practical if you’re trying to reach Cannes. Airlines flying there include Air France, Ryanair, Transavia and Jetairfly. Six cities are serviced: Paris, London, Rome, Brest, Brussels and Stockholm. [...]
Midem deadline fast approaching
If you’re thinking about attending Midem in Cannes this year, don’t wait too long to decide. The Early Bird deadline is on December 21. The price of €805 represents a 25% discount over the walk-in rate. I also did a quick check with hotels and airlines. Most of the hotels in the inner “banana” (the [...]
Prisoner breaks out using helicopter – again
A helicopter from Cannes was used in a daring breakout recently. Pascal Payet organsied for a helicopter hijacked from Cannes to land on the roof of his prison, and then fly him to Brignoles north of Toulon. This is the third helicopter escape Payet, a convicted murderer, has been involved in. The pilot was released [...]
Getting to Cannes from Milan
We often get requests about getting to Cannes from the Italian city of Milan, and the answer we often give is the train. Trenitalia runs three daily trains to Nice at 11.10 am, 13.10 and 15.10 that take roughly five hours to cover the 334 kilometers. From there, it’s another 20-30 minutes to Cannes itself [...]
