Cheap Flights from Lyon to Bucharest — $34

Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS), the region’s international hub handling most long-haul and European flights alongside a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers such as Air France and easyJet. Located about 20–25 km east of the city center, transfer options include the Rhônexpress tram taking roughly 30 minutes to the Part-Dieu area with fares typically in the mid-range for airport express services, taxis which can be 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and costlier, and regional buses offering cheaper but slower journeys. The airport is generally convenient for international connections and amenities, though it can be busier and farther out than inner-city options.

Bucharest’s main gateway, Henri Coandă International (OTP), functions as Romania’s primary international hub and typically handles a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, including Tarom, Blue Air and several European budget airlines. It sits about 18–20 km north of the city centre; road transfer by taxi or rideshare usually takes 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, while the express train and regular bus services can take roughly 20–40 minutes with modest fares. OTP offers a range of lounges and shopping but can be busy at peak times; it’s convenient for long-haul and connecting flights though occasional congestion and variable transfer times are common. Aurel Vlaicu/ Băneasa Airport (BBU) is Bucharest’s smaller, closer airport that historically served domestic and short-haul flights and often catered to budget carriers and business aviation. Located roughly 8 km north of central Bucharest, ground transfers by taxi or tram typically require 15–30 minutes at low cost, making it an appealing option for quick city access. Facilities are more limited compared with the larger airport, so passengers can expect a simpler experience with fewer shops and lounges; it can be a fast, economical choice for short routes but offers less connectivity and fewer amenities than Henri Coandă.
