Lyon is served mainly by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) and a smaller Saint-Étienne–Bouthéon/secondary options; Saint-Exupéry functions as the city’s international hub and handles most long-haul and European carriers, while low-cost and regional flights can sometimes operate from nearby smaller fields. Saint-Exupéry sits about 25 km east of central Lyon; travel to the city center is typically 30–40 minutes by Rhônexpress tram (single fares usually in a moderate range) or around 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with train and bus alternatives that can be cheaper but slower. Pros: wide route choice and decent public-transport links; cons: the airport is a bit outside the center and tram fares may be higher than buses.

Fly nonstop from Lyon to Beijing for the quickest, most convenient way to bridge France and China — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy your trip. While connecting options can sometimes cost less, a direct flight saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the premium for many travelers.

Beijing is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Beijing Capital International (PEK) is the older major international hub, typically handling most long-haul and full-service carriers; it’s about 25–30 km northeast of downtown and usually reached in 40–60 minutes by express train or 50–90 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with public transit fares and express train fares generally affordable. Beijing Daxing International (PKX), opened recently, functions as a modern alternative and often hosts a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers; it sits roughly 50–60 km south of the center and can take 45–75 minutes by high-speed rail or 60–90+ minutes by car. Both airports offer airport shuttle buses, metro links (where available), and ride-hailing; travel times vary by time of day. Pros: extensive connections and good public transport options. Cons: both can be far from central Beijing and busy at peak times, making transfers and surface travel occasionally slow or congested.
