Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS), the region’s international hub handling most long-haul and network carrier flights, alongside a smaller Saint-Exupéry business terminal; Lyon–Bron can serve general aviation and some light domestic traffic. Major carriers and alliances typically operate from Saint-Exupéry, while low-cost airlines may also offer budget connections. The airport lies about 20–25 km east of the city center — transfer options include the Rhônexpress tram shuttle (roughly 30–40 minutes, ticketed service), regional buses and taxis (30–50 minutes depending on traffic; fares vary), and car hire. Pros: good international connectivity and regular shuttle service. Cons: the airport can feel a bit remote and transfers may take longer in peak traffic; costs may be higher than flying into smaller regional fields.

Hamburg Airport (HAM) serves as the region’s main international gateway and usually handles a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost airlines, so you can expect both full-service and budget options. It sits about 8–10 km north of the city center; the S-Bahn S1 typically takes 25–30 minutes to central Hamburg with fares in the modest range for local transit, while taxis or ride-shares generally take 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier. The airport is compact and user-friendly, often praised for straightforward connections and decent amenities, though peak times may mean longer security lines and fewer late-night services. For mostly domestic or short-haul travel, smaller regional airports can sometimes be cheaper or quicker to access.
