The airport is generally compact and user-friendly, making connections straightforward, though peak times may see longer queues; it can be pricier than smaller regional fields but offers the widest route choice and amenities.

Pros: modern facilities and frequent connections. Cons: distance from central Lyon and extra transfer time that can add cost and planning for budget travelers.
