FAQs - booking Lyon flights

  • What is the quickest way to get from Lyon airport to Lyon?

    The Rhonexpress tramway service connects the airport directly with Lyon’s city centre in about 30min. The trams run every 15min in peak hours, and every 30min in off-peak. A single fare costs about € 15.70 (A$ 25) but you can get a discount if you pre-purchase online. If purchasing tickets on arrival, get them at the machines in the station or from the driver on board.

  • What is the cheapest way to reach Lyon?

    Since the Rhonexpress opened, there is no longer a shuttle bus linking Lyon with the airport. However, if you want a budget route, you can combine tram and bus by taking the bus line no. 47 from Lyon Part-Dieu Station to Meyzieu I.Z. Once there, take tramway T3 and complete your journey into Lyon. Expect to pay about € 5 (A$ 8) total for your tram and bus combined.

  • Should I take a taxi to Lyon?

    A taxi rank is located in front of Terminal 1 with taxis operating 24h per day. The fare from the airport into central Lyon will cost about € 45–60 (A$ 70–100) depending on the time of day, while the journey should take about 25 to 30min depending on traffic conditions. If you have lots of luggage and prefer the comfort of a car ride, a taxi is a good option; however, it is much more expensive than travelling via the tram service.

Passengers of all ticket-types can access two other lounges in Terminal 1, Le Salon Mont Blanc and Salon Confluence, which are pay-to-use lounges. Access to these lounges will cost about € 30 (A$ 50) per passenger on entry.

I love to travel again and again in Emirates. Keep up the good work.

Everything was perfect. Staff were informative and professional and flight boarding, flying and de-embarking was smooth. I would certainly travel with Emirates again.

Mostly good and consistent of Emirates service. Christmas menu was great initiative and tasted good. Taking the bus from terminal to the plane spoilt the experience a little.

The plane was old so the entertainment system was difficult to operate. The crew did advise earlier. The plane was landed and parked away from the gates, which added 20+ mins to the overall arrival

Premium economy was worth it-comfort was definitely better than economy class. The seats were more comfortable, blankets and pillows thicker

Bathrooms were amazing and first class seat was very comfortable. Food was edible but not up to the standards of other first class meals on other airlines. But Caviar was amazing! So much caviar. Dom Perignon 2015 was room temperature. It would have been amazing if it was chilled down a bit more. Slippers were amazing and amenity kit requested was beautiful. Requested Pajamas never came so can’t tell you how nice they were. Loved the design of the seat and personal storage. Suite was much smaller than other airline’s first class and tv screen was tiny and remote difficult to use. I probably wouldn’t pay for this flight again.

It was delayed for 2 hrs. Flight attendants were not attentive.

We boarded but due to a technical issue we spent 4.5hrs on the ground waiting for the issue to be resolved

I take emirates because of direct flights Otherwise no Cabin crew niot friendly and never friendly across the airlines Planes old inside not renewd .. this is not an issue The issue is the poor service

No kids provided. Instead we were told to have contacted the airline that we have kids and require kids meals. We were not the only ones who inquired about kids meals. It’s odd. Emirates and other airlines give kids meals as standard and before the adult food comes out. The rice in our meals was gluggy and under cooked. The chicken was also raw. Sadly not the best experience with Finn Air. The hostesses tried to compensate with the snacks and drinks but missed the mark by a long way. Especially when paying Emirates/Qantas prices

Flight was late but loading plane was much easier in Istanbul than athens. Food was so-so and choice was limited. Flight attendants were extremely courteous and helpful; however, it was difficult to get attention during night time service. Overall good experience and the price was right

Food and crew were superb. I flu with a 777 which has old TV screens. Although the movie selection was very good, screen was not sharp enough to wacht a movie

Poor connecting flight logistics and ground transportation for such enormous airport. Airline does not consider time required to complete the security check or transition from one to gate to another

The crew were kind and very helpful. Did not expect food service. Was served a warm soft sandwich bread , was delicious. Overall the service, the staff were great. Highly recommend others to try Turkish Airline

We had requested a wheel chair assist for my husband who has Parkinson’s. The first seat we came to we got off the plane was staffed by 3 men-one was on his cell phone, one was sleeping and the fellow we spoke with was rude and seemed as if he didn’t care that we had a plane to catch in one hour. A person with a wheel chair came and took us to the center area for wheelchairs. Here we waited for 20-25 minutes while our flight went to “boarding.” Finally a woman came with a cart and we zipped through the airport.

it was great honestly for the melbourne flight a kit with blindfold and slippers was probided to each passenger on the seat and the food was really great will definitely recommend people take turkish airlines for travel not just on the sin-melbourne route.

The crew on this flight provided exceptional business class service to me.

My, Syed Zawar Hussein Shirazi frequently flyer membership number was not included on my boarding pass from O’Hare to Istanbul despite my reminder to the attendant at check in. Further she forgot to give me my boarding pass form Istanbul to Lahore and she needs to improve her customer service, please 🙏

I'm very tall so the leg room of the seats could have been a little more spacious. Otherwise, everything was excellent

To be prepared for being treated with disrespect by the ground crew.
