Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international airport and typically functions as the regional hub for full-service carriers and some low-cost airlines. It’s about 25 km east of Lyon’s Presqu’île, with train, tram and coach links to the city center taking roughly 20–40 minutes depending on route; fares for the Rhônexpress tram and local trains are usually in the low single digits to low teens (EUR). Ground transport options include the frequent Rhônexpress tram, regional TER trains and taxis or ride-hailing services that can be pricier but faster. Pros: modern facilities, regular long-haul and European connections and a dedicated business terminal; cons: slightly farther from central Lyon than smaller suburban fields and transfer costs can add up for budget travelers.
Zurich Airport (ZRH) serves as Switzerland’s primary international hub, handling a mix of full-service carriers, European network airlines, and seasonal low-cost services. It’s located about 10–12 km north of Zurich city center, with regular S-Bahn trains reaching the Hauptbahnhof in roughly 10–15 minutes (single fares typically in the low to mid-range CHF). Regional buses and taxis take about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. The airport is generally perceived as on the premium side for service and facilities, with efficient transfers and wide lounges but correspondingly higher retail and parking prices. Overall it’s very convenient for business and leisure travelers, though ground transport and on-site amenities can be pricier than smaller regional airports.
