Nantes Atlantique (NTE) is the city’s main airport, serving a mix of full-service carriers and low-cost airlines with a focus on European and occasional international routes. Located about 8 km southwest of Nantes city centre, it can be reached by tram + shuttle or taxi: the airport shuttle to Bouffay takes roughly 25–35 minutes, while taxis and rideshares typically run 15–25 minutes depending on traffic; expect modest public transport fares and higher taxi charges. The airport is compact and generally easy to navigate, which can be convenient for short connections, though peak times may feel busy and on-site amenities are more limited than large international hubs.
Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international airport and typically serves a mix of full‑service carriers and low‑cost airlines, plus regional connections; it can be positioned as a major hub for southeastern France rather than a budget-only option. The airport lies about 20–25 km east of central Lyon; driving or taxi transfers usually take 25–40 minutes depending on traffic and can be pricier than public options. The Rhônexpress tram links the airport to Lyon Part‑Dieu in roughly 30 minutes with moderate fares, while regional buses and private shuttles offer cheaper, slower alternatives. Pros: good rail link and international connectivity; cons: distance from the center and occasional congestion at peak times.
