Dubai is served by two main airports that cater to different traveler needs. Dubai International (DXB) is the region’s major international hub, favored by full-service carriers and Emirates, and typically handles most long-haul and premium traffic; it sits about 5–10 km from Dubai’s central business districts, with the metro (Red Line) taking roughly 10–20 minutes and fares usually in the low single-digit dirham range, taxis around 15–30 minutes depending on traffic. DXB is convenient for transfers and offers wide amenities, though it can be busy during peak hours. Al Maktoum International (DWC), at Jebel Ali roughly 35–50 km from downtown, is positioned as a growing low-cost and air-cargo gateway, often used by budget and charter operators. Travel from DWC typically takes 40–60 minutes by road; public buses and airport shuttles can be available with modest fares, while taxis are faster but costlier. DWC can be quieter and easier for parking, yet it’s less central and may add ground travel time for city access.
Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) is Lyon’s main international airport and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines, making it both a hub for regional connections and an entry point for longer European routes. Located about 20–25 km east of the city center, transfer options include the Rhônexpress tram (roughly 30–35 minutes, fares usually in the mid-range), regional TER trains and buses, plus taxis or rideshares that can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Pros: efficient modern terminal and regular long-haul and intra-European services. Cons: it can feel remote compared with inner-city airports and transfer times/costs may be higher than smaller domestic fields.
