Hello
I will arrive in Bordeaux from Montreal at 11:25 AM , train to Biarritz at 2:20 PM
Is there enough time ? Is the taxi a faster way to get to train station or Ican take the tram?
Thank you

There is a non stop bus at irregular times every 30 - 45 minutes which they say takes 30 minutes. The only faster way otherwise is an expensive taxi ride.
Can I buy a ticket for the tram at the airport easily enough with cash or will I need one of those App things?
Cash (euros) or a credit card at the ticket machine at the tram stop.
Hi Cubsur,
Is this irregular bus the airport shuttle directly to train station? Is the tram also directly there or I need to change it? Thank you

Bus times shown at https://30direct.com/accueil/horaires/ you can buy tickets at their website or on the bus with card or cash.
Tram costs €1,90 takes about 45 minutes and you have to change trams at Porte Bourgogne. Trams run from 0500 every day until 2347 every day, with later journeys on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights until 0047.
They run about every 10 minutes between 0630 and 2030, less often earlier and later.
