Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) is the region’s main international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines on European routes. Located about 25 km east of the city center, it’s typically reached by the Rhônexpress tram in roughly 30–35 minutes for fares usually in the mid-range for airport shuttles, or by regional trains and taxis that can take a similar time but cost more. The airport can be convenient for international connections and business travelers, with good facilities and car rental options; downsides can include occasional crowds and longer transfer times compared with smaller urban airports. For domestic or budget-focused flyers, nearby Saint-Exupéry remains the principal option.
Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN) functions as the region’s main international gateway while also serving a strong mix of low-cost and leisure carriers alongside some full-service airlines. Located about 15–20 km southeast of Cologne’s city centre, transfer times are typically 15–30 minutes by regional train or S-Bahn and roughly 20–40 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; train fares are usually in the low single digits and taxis can be noticeably more. The airport can be a budget-friendly option compared with larger hubs, especially on point-to-point routes, and offers a compact layout that makes connections relatively straightforward. Downsides can include crowding during peak holiday seasons and fewer long-haul services than bigger German hubs.
