Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) serves as the region’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines, plus some regional services. Located about 20–25 km east of Lyon’s city centre, transfer options include a direct Rhônexpress tram (approx. 30–35 minutes, fares usually mid-range), taxis (25–40 minutes depending on traffic, higher cost) and airport shuttles or car rentals. The airport can be convenient for onward international connections and has several amenities, though peak times may mean longer security or transfer waits. For budget travellers, some low-cost routes may depart from secondary terminals or require attention to baggage policies.
Nantes Atlantique (NTE) serves as the main international airport for Nantes and the surrounding Pays de la Loire region, handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers including Air France and several European budget airlines. It sits about 8–10 km southwest of Nantes city center, with typical transfer options of taxis (roughly 20–30 minutes, fares usually moderate), regular bus lines including a direct shuttle taking around 25–40 minutes at low cost, and car rental services on-site. The airport can be convenient for short breaks and regional connections thanks to compact terminals, though it can feel busy during peak summer months and offers fewer long-haul links than larger hubs.
