What STN to TLS looks like
The STN to TLS sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
London STN to Toulouse TLS is a short sector of 922 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 922 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 41m.
London STN is a major hub in the network held here, 218 scheduled destinations and 349.1 departures a day. Toulouse TLS has 90 destinations and 100.6 departures a day.
London carries about 3.5 times the departures of Toulouse, so a courier who has to be rebooked has far more to work with at one end of this pair than at the other.
Toulouse is one hour ahead of London all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on STN to TLS from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| STN to TLS | 1.71 | 12 | Ryanair, Ryanair UK |
| TLS to STN | 0.14 | 1 | Ryanair UK |
Two carriers hold the sector, Ryanair and Ryanair UK, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
The two directions are not level: STN to TLS runs about once a day, the return runs about once a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 13 departures a week on STN to TLS, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 1h 41m block time on STN to TLS. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to STN | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At STN before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| STN to TLS in the air, estimated | 101 min | 6h 11m |
| Formalities at TLS | 90 min | 7h 41m |
| Delivery run in Toulouse | 45 min | 8h 26m |
| Door to door | 506 min | 8h 26m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for STN to TLS is 8h 26m.
A courier who leaves London at 09:00 local is on the ground in Toulouse at about 11:41 local and at the door by 13:56 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Toulouse, the last useful departure from London is around 13:04 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 50 of them join STN to TLS.
| Connecting at | STN to hub, flights a day | Hub to TLS, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nantes NTE | 1.29 | 2 | 998 | 3h 28m |
| Marseille MRS | 2.43 | 1.71 | 1,322 | 4h 00m |
| Amsterdam AMS | 2.43 | 3.43 | 1,311 | 4h 14m |
| Nice NCE | 1.43 | 0.86 | 1,523 | 4h 18m |
| Dublin DUB | 9.57 | 1.14 | 1,695 | 4h 31m |
| Bergamo BGY | 4.43 | 0.71 | 1,674 | 4h 32m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at STN in the afternoon actually flies on.
50 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Nantes NTE, where the weaker of the two legs still runs about once a day.
Through NTE the routing covers 998 km against the 922 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 28m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 47m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Marseille MRS at 4h 00m and Amsterdam AMS at 4h 14m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves London, London LTN is 41 km away by great circle and carries 169 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Toulouse, Bordeaux BOD is 213 km away by great circle and carries 84 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for STN to TLS in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
