Which airline can fly direct from Nizhniy Novgorod to Lyon?
The following airlines operate direct flights on the route Nizhniy Novgorod — Lyon:
Nizhniy Novgorod’s main airport (Strigino, GOJ) acts as the region’s international gateway while also handling many domestic connections, so you’ll find a mix of legacy carriers and low-cost or regional airlines operating typical routes. It sits about 30–35 km southwest of the city center; road transfers by taxi or rideshare usually take 30–50 minutes depending on traffic, with fares commonly ranging from budget local rates up to moderate metro prices. A public bus and fixed-route minibuses connect to the city over roughly 50–70 minutes at lower cost, and occasional rail or airport shuttle options can be available. Pros: straightforward layout and a range of carrier choices; cons: distance from downtown and variable transfer times during peak hours.
Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the city’s international hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carrier traffic, and by the smaller Lyon–Bron/other regional fields that cater mainly to general aviation and some business flights. Saint-Exupéry sits about 20–25 km east of the city center; travel time by Rhônexpress tram is typically around 25–30 minutes with fares usually in the low-to-mid single-digit euros, while taxis and ride-shares can take 30–45 minutes depending on traffic and cost more. The airport often hosts legacy carriers and several low-cost airlines on regional routes, so fares can range widely. Pros: frequent rail connections and decent passenger services; cons: slightly distant from central Lyon and can be busier during peak times.
Fly direct from Nizhniy Novgorod to Lyon for the fastest, most convenient way to reach France’s gastronomic and cultural hub — fewer hassles, no layovers, and more time to enjoy the city. While connecting flights can sometimes be cheaper, a nonstop trip saves hours and offers a more comfortable, stress-free journey worth the upgrade.
