Lyon is served mainly by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS), the city’s international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines. It typically handles long-haul flights, European connections and some domestic services; budget operators can often undercut legacy fares on short routes. The airport lies about 25 km east of central Lyon, with frequent Rhônexpress tram links taking around 30–35 minutes to Part-Dieu station for fares generally in the mid-range; taxis and rideshares are faster (30–45 minutes depending on traffic) but cost more. Pros: modern facilities and good rail connections; cons: distance from the centre can add transfer time and extra cost for onward travel.
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (ATH) is Greece’s main international gateway and a full-service hub for Aegean and a focus city for low-cost carriers, so fares can range from premium to budget-friendly depending on carrier and season. The airport lies about 20 km east of central Athens; the metro’s Blue Line links to Syntagma and Monastiraki in roughly 40 minutes, while the suburban train and express buses take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with typical fares spanning low single digits to around 10–15 EUR. Taxis take 30–60 minutes and have fixed rates to the city center. Pros: modern facilities, plentiful flight options and clear transit links; cons: distance from downtown and variable road congestion can add time and cost.
