Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS) is the region’s main international airport and typically serves a mix of legacy carriers, low-cost airlines and some long-haul connections, making it the usual gateway for business and leisure travelers to Lyon and the Rhône-Alpes. It sits about 20–25 km east of the city center; the Rhônexpress tram links the airport to Lyon Part-Dieu in roughly 30 minutes with fares generally in the mid-range for airport rail services, while taxis and ride-shares can take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and usually cost more. Pros: direct rail link, a range of carrier options and decent passenger facilities. Cons: a suburban location can add transfer time and fares can rise at peak hours.

Milan is served by three main airports, each with a distinct role. Malpensa (MXP) is the primary international hub handling long-haul and full-service carriers; it sits about 50 km northwest of the city and is typically perceived as mid-to-higher priced for transfers. Trains to Milano Centrale take around 50 minutes (coach and rail options often cost in the moderate range), while buses take about an hour. Linate (LIN) is the closest, roughly 7 km from downtown; it usually hosts short-haul and business flights and can be quicker and more convenient for city access via taxi or bus in 20–30 minutes. Bergamo Orio al Serio (BGY) operates as a budget and low-cost focal point about 45 km northeast; it’s popular for cheap carriers and can be more economical though transfer times to the center are longer (35–60 minutes by bus) and may feel less comfortable for some travelers. Each airport offers a mix of car, bus and rail links with varying fares and comfort, so choice often balances price, schedule and convenience.

In different months, ticket prices from Lyon to Milan vary: minimum — $42 (October 2026), maximum — $109 (January 2027). Typically, the flight costs $70–$71.
