|---|---|---|---|---|
| Montpellier-Méditerranée Airport | MPL | 43 km (27 mi) | 8,530 ft | 17 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,530 ft, MPL handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 17 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
