Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS) is the region’s main international hub, serving long‑haul and European carriers alongside several low‑cost airlines, so fares can range from premium to budget depending on carrier and season. It sits about 20–25 km east of Lyon’s city centre; express tram (Rhônexpress) links to Part‑Dieu in roughly 30 minutes with moderate fares, while regular buses and taxis take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. Car rental and ride‑sharing are widely available. Pros: good connections and modern facilities ideal for international transfers; cons: slightly further out than some urban airports and tram/bus fares add to trip cost.
Barcelona’s air traffic is served primarily by Barcelona–El Prat (BCN), the city’s international hub handling most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside low-cost airlines; a smaller number of charter and regional flights can use Girona (GRO) and Reus (REU) for budget or seasonal options. El Prat sits about 12 km southwest of the city center, typically reachable by Aerobus (about 30–40 minutes, moderate fares), regular train (25–30 minutes) or metro/bus (35–45 minutes), and taxis (20–30 minutes, higher cost). Girona and Reus are farther out (roughly 90–120 minutes transfer time), often used by low-cost carriers and can be cheaper on some routes but less convenient. Pros: wide airline choice and frequent public links at El Prat; Cons: possible crowds and longer transfers if routed via Girona/Reus.
