Cheap Flights from Moscow to Lyon — $196

Moscow’s airports form a mixed network serving international, regional and low-cost traffic. Sheremetyevo (SVO) typically functions as the main international hub with a strong presence of full-service carriers and alliance connections; it lies about 30–40 km northwest of the city center and is reachable by Aeroexpress train in roughly 35–45 minutes or by taxi in 40–70 minutes depending on traffic, with fares varying widely. Vnukovo (VKO) often handles a mix of scheduled and budget services and sits 28–35 km southwest; airport express or bus connections take around 40–60 minutes while taxis can be quicker. Domodedovo (DME) is usually a major long-haul and domestic gateway located some 42–45 km south, with Aeroexpress trips near 45–55 minutes and road transfers subject to congestion. All three can be perceived differently on price and comfort—Sheremetyevo and Domodedovo tend to offer more extensive lounges and retail, while Vnukovo can be a pragmatic choice for lower fares; pros include good rail links and wide carrier choice, cons can be distance to center and variable city traffic.

Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS) is Lyon’s main international airport and typically handles long-haul, European and some low-cost carriers alongside flag and regional airlines; it often serves as the city’s primary hub for business and leisure travel. Located about 20–25 km east of the city center, transfer options include the Rhônexpress tram (roughly 30–40 minutes to Part-Dieu with fares commonly in the mid-range), regional trains and airport buses, plus taxis or rideshares that can take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic. The airport is usually well-equipped with lounges and services, though the distance from central Lyon can add time and cost compared with closer alternatives. Lyon–Bron (LYN) is a small general aviation and business airport that typically handles private, charter and some regional flights rather than regular commercial services. Sitting much closer to the city—only around 7–10 km east of downtown—Bron is convenient for private flyers and short business trips; ground transfers are mainly by taxi or private car with short journey times and modest fares, though public transport links are limited. Its compact size can be an advantage for speed and simplicity, but it lacks the international connectivity and passenger amenities you’ll find at Saint Exupéry.

The cost of a one-way flight from Moscow to Lyon ranges from $199 (October 2026) to $440 (January 2027). On average, the ticket price is about $279–$282.
