Lyon is served primarily by Lyon–Saint-Exupéry (LYS), the region’s international hub that handles most long-haul and full-service carriers alongside several low-cost operators. Located about 25 km east of the city center, the airport is typically reached in 25–40 minutes by Rhône Express tram (frequent service, fares usually in the mid single-digit euros) or by car/taxi in a similar time depending on traffic. Saint-Exupéry offers a wide range of facilities and onward connections, though longer transfer times to central Lyon can be a drawback. For budget-conscious travelers, Lyon–Bron (nearer the centre) can be used for some domestic and business flights, accessible quickly by road with limited public transport options; it’s generally smaller and simpler but closer and often more convenient for short hops.

Riga International Airport (RIX) is Latvia’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, including regional and European routes. Located about 10 km southeast of Riga’s Old Town, it can be reached by bus (around 30–40 minutes, fares usually low), taxi or ride-hailing (20–30 minutes, fares vary by provider) and occasional airport shuttles. The airport is generally compact and easy to navigate, offering basic cafés, duty-free and car rental desks, which can make transfers straightforward but limits extensive lounge options. Travelers usually find fares competitive for Baltic connections; convenience and quick processing are often cited as benefits, while peak-season crowds can be the main drawback.
