Book your train, bus and carpool tickets.

The Rhônexpress is the tram-train that links Lyon Part-Dieu station to Saint-Exupéry airport in about thirty minutes, stopping at Vaulx-en-Velin and Meyzieu. Departures run from early morning until midnight, every 15 to 30 minutes depending on the time.

It's reliable and fast, but it's not cheap: the ticket costs noticeably more than a regular urban transport ticket. Booking online in advance usually saves a few euros compared to buying at the counter.

And since the airport station is shared with the Saint-Exupéry TGV station, the train-plane connection is made on foot.

There are options for every budget. Several direct bus lines link the airport to nearby towns, and some long-distance operators like FlixBus stop at Saint-Exupéry on their routes, often for just a few euros.

There's also a local combination: take the urban tram to Meyzieu then finish by bus, a longer trip but much cheaper than the Rhônexpress.

Finally, carpooling works well on this busy route. Compare all your options based on your flight time on Tictactrip.

No need to go through central Lyon. Direct shuttles link the airport to Grenoble, Chambéry, Annecy and even Bourg-en-Bresse, timed to flight schedules. Handy for skiers and business travellers alike.

Saint-Exupéry's other key advantage is its integrated TGV station: high-speed trains stop there on the Paris-Marseille line and towards the Alps, meaning you can reach the airport by train from a large part of France.
