Abu Dhabi International (AUH) functions as the emirate’s main international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and regional budget airlines; Etihad Airways is the dominant operator while a range of international carriers also serve long-haul and regional routes. The airport sits about 30–40 km east of Abu Dhabi city center, with travel times typically ranging from 25–45 minutes by taxi depending on traffic and 45–60 minutes by public bus; taxi fares can be moderate for the region while buses are the cheapest option. AUH offers modern facilities and good connectivity, though transit distances between terminals can be noticeable and peak-hour congestion is possible.
Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international gateway and typically handles most long-haul and European connections, often served by legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines. Located about 20–25 km east of Lyon’s center, it can be reached by the Rhônexpress tram in roughly 30 minutes (fares usually in a mid-range bracket) or by regional trains, taxis and airport shuttles which take similar time but cost more. For budget travelers, smaller regional airports and charters can be used seasonally, though they may offer fewer frequencies. Pros: a full-service terminal with lounges and amenities; cons: a longer commute to the heart of the city and possible higher transfer costs than inner-city options.
