Cheap Flights from Lyon to Dubai — $165

Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international airport and typically handles both full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, making it Lyon’s principal hub for medium- and long-haul connections. It sits about 25 km east of the city centre; travel by Rhônexpress tram usually takes around 30–40 minutes with fares generally in the mid-range for airport rail links, while taxis or rideshares can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. For cost-conscious travellers, regional buses and shared shuttles can be cheaper but slower. Pros: good range of connections and reliable rail link. Cons: distance from central Lyon and occasional peak-hour congestion.

Dubai International (DXB) is the city’s primary global gateway and a major hub for long-haul and regional carriers, typically serving full-service airlines alongside some low-cost operators. Located about 10–15 km from downtown Dubai, travel to the city center usually takes 15–30 minutes by taxi or 20–40 minutes via the metro; fares can vary from modest metro fees to taxi fares that are typically higher. While DXB is often perceived as mid- to premium-priced for convenience, it can be cost-competitive on connecting itineraries. Pros include extensive amenities, frequent connections and straightforward public transit; cons can be crowds at peak times and longer lines during busy periods. Al Maktoum International (DWC), situated roughly 40–60 km southwest of central Dubai, functions more as a secondary and cargo-centric airport and is increasingly used by budget and charter carriers. Road transfer times can be 40–60+ minutes depending on traffic, with shuttle services, taxis and private transfers commonly used—prices are usually lower than central airport taxis but higher than metro fares. DWC can be appealing for lower-cost fares and quieter terminals, while disadvantages include longer ground transfers and fewer public transport options compared with DXB.

In different months, ticket prices from Lyon to Dubai vary: minimum — $196 (January 2026), maximum — $207 (March 2026). Typically, the flight costs $202–$207.
