Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS), the city’s international gateway and regional hub handling most long-haul and European flights, alongside a smaller Saint-Exupéry-adjacent business terminal and occasional low-cost services. Typical carriers include Air France, easyJet and several international and regional operators; fares can be competitive on budget routes but tend to rise for peak-season and business connections. The airport sits about 20–25 km east of Lyon’s city center; travel options include the Rhônexpress tram (roughly 30–35 minutes, moderate fares), regional trains and airport shuttles (similar durations) as well as taxis and rideshares (30–45 minutes depending on traffic, with higher fares). Pros: good connectivity, modern facilities and regular public-transport links. Cons: slightly farther from central Lyon than some airports and higher taxi costs during busy periods.
