๐ข Terminal Information
Aurillac Airport (AUR), also known as Aurillac โ Tronquiรจres Airport, serves the city of Aurillac in the Cantal department of central France. This regional airport is a vital link for the mountainous Auvergne region, connecting it to Paris via regular commercial flights, primarily operated by regional airlines. The terminal building is a compact, single-story facility designed for efficient processing of its limited daily flight schedule, offering a streamlined experience for travelers visiting or departing from this picturesque part of France.\n\nSecurity screening at AUR is standard for French domestic airports. Passengers can expect efficient processing through security checkpoints, which include baggage scanning and personal checks. Due to the airport's modest size and flight volume, wait times are generally minimal. All flights depart from a single gate area, and boarding is typically conducted via a short walk across the tarmac to the aircraft, often a turboprop. This allows for quick turnarounds and easy access, highlighting the airport's focus on regional connectivity.\n\nAmenities within the terminal are limited but functional. There is usually a small cafรฉ offering beverages and light snacks, along with restrooms. Passengers will not find extensive dining or retail options beyond these basics. For ground transportation, major car rental agencies have desks conveniently located within the terminal building, and taxi services are generally available outside. The airport serves as a convenient gateway to the Auvergne Volcanoes Regional Natural Park and the stunning landscapes of the Cantal mountains.

๐ข Terminal Information
LโAlpe dโHuez Altiport (AHZ, LFHU) is a mountain airfield serving the ski resort above BourgโdโOisans in the French Alps. It features a short, sloped runway and operates primarily for general aviation, helicopter transfers, and seasonal charter activity rather than scheduled airline service. A small chaletโstyle terminal/FBO sits beside the apron and provides pilot/passenger services.\n\nThe layout is compact. Parking is next to the terminal, with a 1โ2 minute walk to the lobby. From the terminal to parked aircraft on the apron is a short, escorted walkโusually under a minute depending on stand position. There are no buses or jet bridges; all access is groundโlevel.\n\nThere is no commercial TSAโstyle screening and no onโsite immigration/customs. International arrivals must route via a designated airport of entry elsewhere in France or the EU and reposition. Mountain operations are weatherโsensitive; winter conditions, wind, and visibility can delay or curtail flights.\n\nAmenities include a pilot lounge/briefing space, restrooms, and WiโFi when staffed; food and retail are in the resort village nearby. Helicopter services and winter support (deโicing as available) can be arranged through the operator. Ground transport includes resort shuttles, preโbooked taxis, and rental cars obtained in the valley or resort per arrangement.\n\nAccessibility is stepโfree between parking and the terminal; staff can assist as needed. Family facilities are limited at the altiportโtravelers should bring baby supplies and snacks, and plan for alpine weather when moving between buildings and aircraft.
