Lyon Airport Guide
Formerly named Lyon Satolas, Lyon-Saint Exupery (LYN) is now the third biggest airport in France. It is situated 20 km east south east of Lyon city centre and has good access from the Alps by road.
There's also a train station in Lyon, which is directly linked to Paris and Marseille.
Lyon airport has three terminals, terminal 3 being the main hub for low-cost airlines and this shows with the lack of facilities provided here for passengers.
If you have time to kill there is more entertainment in terminals 1 and 2. There are some great bars and restaurants. Shopping includes duty-free, high tech stores, plenty of jewellers, and watch shops.
Several hotels are located close to the airport if you need to catch an early flight. This can be a good option to make your morning a little easier. Try the NH Hotel and the Ibis Hotel both are very close to the airport building.
