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.

  • Are there any airport hotels in Lyon?

    There are two onsite hotels at LYS airport: the NH Hotel and the Kyriad Hotel. The NH Hotel also offers day rooms subject to availability.

  • Are there any VIP lounges at LYS Airport?

    First or Business Class passengers can access the Air France Lounge located in Terminal 2, Airside. 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.

  • How far is Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport from central Lyon?

    You’ll need to travel 20 km to reach the Lyon city centre from Lyon-Saint Exupéry Airport.

  • What is the name of Lyon’s airport?

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights to Lyon?

Child’s meal was great along with other nice touches for kids.

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 journey was nice, all the crews were very good and services are excellent

Very poor boarding experience with these remote gates and buses. Also these 777s bardy need a remodeling. Entertainment is a bit laggy. Food and crew is still among the better, but they seriously have to do something with these remote gates.

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

Crew were very good. Food service was a little slow and disappointing not having on demand dining and only 3 options. Amenity kits and pyjamas were excellent.

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

Sadly I couldn't get the food I requested as it was out. Also, if you don't want to be woken up make sure the crew knows it. My wife was woken on every service.

The crew were wonderful - if only the customers were as well behaved as the attendants!! Ha ha! If you could just talk to God and ask for less turbulence next time.... Juuuuust kidding....

Flight was canceled. I was not alerted. It was only kayak that alerted me

Flight was 2.5 hours late leaving. We spent 50 minutes of that sitting on the plane with no explanation. They did reduce the time in the air so we arrived a little less late which was something. The cheese and crackers were okay but the wine was terrible.

Excellent as always, I won't fly to Australia, and back to the US on any other airline. The flight crew is always top notch, and have a way to make one feel extra special. Thank you for your service, I would rate Qantas Airways a 10+.

Basic airline, aircraft and service. AA gets you from point A to B. My flight was delayed by 2 hours too.

No internet on flight, which makes log travels really hard.

Not great. The inflight entertainment was all on an app, and I did not want to watch a film on my phone. Also, the range of options of films was limited.

by the time they got to our row, they were out of some of the food options. games and movies were great but maybe more game options like tetris or pac man would be great

A few more inches of legroom is all i ask

Great as usual, some delays but well communicated and made up for in the air

Looks like a local flight. Food was horrible. No entertainment system.

Friendly and discreet staff. Could have done with a few more offers of water/snacks overnight. Movie and tv selection notably poor. Seats not especially comfortable

I appreciated the vailability of wheelchair services for persons with mobility issues all the way up to the aircraft. What could be better would be the food choices.

It was little disheartening and disappointing. Although flight staff did a good job. But customer service didn’t do anything to resolve my issue.

Very efficient and professional staff. Food was good and so was entertainment selection.

The service was good but the food was a NO

Initial booking was confusing and had to get new CC issued.

Lobster starter in business class was not good, tough, served cold, and without butter. Movie selection was missing latest releases, did not offer older classic, high quality movies

The check-in and crew staff were wonderful. The food was reasonable. The online side Qatar was very poor. Seats were very tight and not very comfortable for a 14 hour flight!

I felt that when I was rerouted it should have been to business class.

It would be great if the flight attendants could inform people travelling with small children that at take off and landing the children should drink liquid or chew/swallow something so their ears don’t hurt. Also, Emirates serves the food to the children first. Really good idea. Best of all would be to put all children in the same area.

The seats were extremely small. Boarding was not communicated correctly. It wasn’t a pleasant trip.

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

I am always amazed with the great service they offer on their regional and international flights

Awful seating. Bad food. Staff only have one bottle of water and no cans.

Loved the food. No wheelchair was provided in Sofia even though wheelchair assistance was confirmed by Turkish Airlines

this was a short flight in business class. I had problem in the Istambul airport - the lounge for Turkish Airlines was too far and we never were able to reach it

it was like a banya -so hot... They did provide a great experience with special food. one toilet broke midflight In general it was a peaceful and relaxing flight - for business class it was good.

Luggage never made it it’s been 2 days and no proper update

I already checked in online and provided with a window seat by default which was OK with me. When I printed the pass at the airport, I found that the seat number was different (aisle but in same row). By that time, all window seats were taken up, I am surprised that TK can unilaterally change seats after completed online checkin.

The plane was dirty the food was awful and the boarding process took too long

Need thicker and wider blankets. Food was below standard especially in the fist leg.

Very bad. Business class money is paid but service is worst than economy with empty middle seat. Very low grade food, very poor toilet. This should be highlighted as worst business class in the world. Government of Jordan should ban British airways for misleading information.

Great on board entertainment Tasty food Cattle class obviously crammed but not as bad as shorter hall flights

Flying on the Boeing 787 from Seattle to London was everything that I expected. Every thing was great.

The crew was very nice and pleasant. We were very reluctant to book our flight with British Airlines because we had bad experience with their flight attendants on the previous trips, they were rude and not helpful.

Good shuttle to Europe. Face check boarding needs overhaul. 2 stations for 200 people and still with passport check. Why have both? Why is this now slower than 5 years ago?

As I have said it sucked, the ticket counter to have to find and pay for another airline to get home. Now I understand this happened over the weekend but they should have someone there to talk to us instead of throwing the regular crew under the bus.

The flight was fine but no food available apart from snacks like Pringles and olives which was a problem for me as I hadn’t eaten anything that day. But the worst problem was BA left 24 suitcases in Heathrow as the flight was too full but didn’t tell anyone. So we waited for ages at Toulouse airport with no information and finally found out from the one member of staff in the baggage collection area who explained what had happened and apologised for no announcement being made but said that was their policy. Then BA contacted me today to say they have found my luggage and can deliver it to me on Tuesday - half way through my holiday!!!! So a friend has had to make a four hour round trip in his car to go and collect the luggage from the airport so we can get it today. A TOTAL SHAMBLES AND DISREGARD BY BA FOR THEIR PASSENGERS’ BEST INTERESTS.

Our luggage arrived 2 days late when we reached Santorini. We were without cloths and toiletries for two days and didn't had time or means to go and shop everything at reasonable cost. Even though, we filed the report immediately at the airport, there was very less communication to us about when we would expected our luggage and even when it arrived there, they didn't had staff to deliver luggage to our hotel, so we had to go to airport to pick it up, which is very difficult and annoying to do in foreign country where you don't have you own vehicle and you don't have time because your tour is packed with activities. They could have tried to expedite the process and kept us informed and deliver the luggage at our hotel. Also, should have given us compensation for it.
