Zurich Airport (ZRH) is Switzerland’s primary international gateway and a well-equipped hub for full-service carriers and major European connections, though low-cost airlines also operate year-round. It sits about 10 km (6 mi) north of Zurich’s city center, with frequent train services taking roughly 10–15 minutes to Hauptbahnhof; regional trains and S-Bahn lines run every few minutes and fares are typically modest within the local tariff system. Road transfers by taxi or rideshare can be 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and may cost more than public transport. The airport is known for efficient transfers, good passenger amenities and reliable connections, while peak times or budget-conscious travelers may prefer off-peak trains to avoid higher road fares.
Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS) is the city’s main international airport and typically serves a mix of full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines, making it the primary gateway for long-haul and European connections. Located about 20–25 km east of Lyon’s city center, it can be reached by Rhônexpress tram in roughly 30–35 minutes (fare usually in the mid-price tram range) or by car/taxi in 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Bus services and regional trains via nearby stations can be cheaper alternatives but may take longer. Pros: good onward connections and modern facilities; cons: transfer times and fares can be higher than inner-city airports, and journeys can be impacted by peak-hour congestion.
