Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) serves as the main international gateway for Lyon and the broader Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, typically handling a mix of full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines. The airport sits about 20–25 km east of Lyon’s city centre and can be reached in roughly 30–35 minutes by the Rhônexpress tram (frequent services, fares usually mid-range) or by regional train and buses that may take 40–60 minutes depending on connections. Taxis and ride-shares are widely available but can be noticeably more expensive. Pros: a modern terminal, direct long-haul and European connections, and relatively efficient transport links. Cons: it’s outside the urban core, so transfer times and costs can be higher than at city-centre airports.
