Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) is the region’s main international gateway and typically handles long-haul and full-service carriers alongside a growing number of low-cost flights. Located about 20–30 km east of central Lyon, transfer times are usually around 25–40 minutes by Rhônexpress tram (30–35 minutes typical) or 25–45 minutes by taxi depending on traffic; tram fares are usually moderate while taxis can be substantially pricier. The airport tends to offer a wide range of amenities and frequent connections, which can be convenient for international transfers but may mean slightly higher fees than smaller hubs. Regional rail and bus options are available for budget-conscious travellers. Lyon–Bron (primarily historical/GA/dedicated business airfield) is much closer to the city centre, roughly 10 km east, and is mainly used for general aviation, private jets, and some light commercial operations rather than regular scheduled passenger services. Travel to downtown Lyon is typically quick by car or taxi, often under 20 minutes, while public transit options are limited compared with LYS; fares and journey times can therefore vary. Its proximity is a plus for business or private flyers seeking speed and convenience, but it lacks the route network and passenger services of the main international airport.

Yekaterinburg Koltsovo Airport (SVX) serves as the city’s main international gateway and a regional hub for Ural travel, handling a mix of full‑service and low‑cost carriers on domestic and international routes. Located about 16 km southeast of downtown Yekaterinburg, it can be reached by Aeroexpress bus or regular buses and taxis; transfer times typically range from 25–40 minutes depending on traffic, with public fares usually modest and taxis costing more. The airport offers a reasonable level of passenger facilities and several dining options, though peak periods can feel crowded. For budget travelers, cheaper carriers and good bus links are convenient; those seeking faster transfers may prefer taxis or prebooked transfers.

The minimum one-way ticket price from Yekaterinburg to Lyon is $165 (December 2025), while the maximum is $670 (January 2026). On average, a ticket costs $275–$342.
