Frankfurt Airport (FRA) is Germany’s primary international hub, handling a mix of full-service global carriers and many Star Alliance flights, with some low-cost services on secondary routes. It’s generally perceived as mid- to higher-priced compared with regional airports, reflecting its extensive long-haul network and amenities. The airport lies about 12–15 km (7–9 miles) southwest of the city center; the fastest option is the frequent S-Bahn/ICE connections taking roughly 10–15 minutes to Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof, while regional trains and taxis can range from 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. Airport buses and longer-distance coaches are available, typically cheaper but slower. Pros: wide flight choice, generous facilities and reliable rail links; cons: busy terminals and longer walking/transfers between terminals can make connections less convenient for tight layovers.
Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) serves as the city’s main international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines that connect Lyon with Europe and intercontinental destinations. Located about 25 km east of the city center, the airport is typically reached in 25–35 minutes by Rhônexpress tram (frequent service; fares usually in the mid-range) or in roughly 30–50 minutes by car depending on traffic, with taxis and ride-shares more costly. For budget travelers, nearby smaller airfields can be used seasonally, but LYS generally offers the greatest route choice. Pros include modern facilities and direct rail links; cons can be transfer times and higher peak fares compared with regional budget airports.
