It sits about 17 km north of the city centre in Vantaa, and travel times to downtown Helsinki are usually around 25–45 minutes by train or bus; the local commuter train and the long-distance I and P lines often take about half an hour, while buses and taxis can be a bit quicker depending on traffic. Expect moderate to premium fares relative to smaller Nordic airports. Pros: efficient layout, good connections and frequent public transport; cons: can feel busy in peak periods and additional transfers may be needed for some suburbs.

Which airline can fly direct from Lyon to Helsinki?
The following airlines operate direct flights on the route Lyon — Helsinki:
Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the city’s international hub handling most long-haul and major European carriers, and by Lyon–Bron, a smaller aerodrome used mainly for general aviation and private flights. Saint-Exupéry is typically positioned as the region’s premium airport with a wide range of full-service and low-cost airlines; fares can be moderate to high depending on season and carrier. The airport sits about 20–25 km east of the city center—journeys by Rhônexpress tram take roughly 30–35 minutes for a single-ticket fare usually in the low-to-mid single-digit euros, while taxis or rideshares are faster but costlier and can take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Pros: extensive route network, reliable public transfer; cons: slightly farther from central Lyon than some European hubs and tram frequency can vary late at night. Lyon–Bron is convenient for private or short-haul specialist flights and lies closer to the city, though it offers far fewer commercial options and limited public transport connections.
