Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is the main international gateway for the French Riviera, serving a mix of full-service carriers and many low-cost airlines that connect to European and Mediterranean destinations. Located about 7 km southwest of central Nice, it’s typically a short drive — roughly 15–25 minutes by taxi depending on traffic — and is also linked by tram and bus services with journey times around 25–40 minutes; expect fares to range from low single digits to typical taxi surcharges. The airport can be busy in summer but generally offers modern passenger facilities and frequent flights; downsides can include seasonal crowds and higher parking costs, while its seaside location makes it very convenient for onward travel to coastal resorts.
Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint Exupéry Airport (LYS), the region’s main international hub handling most long-haul and European flights, and by Lyon–Bron, a smaller airfield used mainly for business and general aviation. Saint Exupéry typically hosts legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines, and can be perceived as mid-range in price compared with Paris; it lies about 20–25 km east of the city center. Ground links include the Rhônexpress tram to Lyon Part-Dieu in roughly 30 minutes (tickets usually in a moderate fare band), regional trains and airport buses that can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic, and taxis or rideshares that are quicker but costlier. Pros: broader flight choice and reliable public connections; cons: transfer times and occasional peak congestion. Bron is convenient for private or short-haul corporate trips, located closer to central Lyon with more limited scheduled services and fewer transport options.
