Lyon - Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS/LFLL), LYS

Lyon - Aéroport Lyon-Saint Exupéry (LYS/LFLL)

Introduction:

Situated 24 kilometres southeast of Lyon (the second-largest city in France), the airport serves more than 6 million passengers each year and provides access to the country’s Rhone Alps region. There are regular scheduled flights to major European cities and other international destinations including Africa, the Middle East, Canada and the Caribbean. The airport’s twin two-level terminals are joined by a main hall, with free shuttle bus connections also offered. Terminal 1 handles domestic flights to all main airports in France, while Terminal 2 serves international arrivals and departures. In both terminals, departures are on the second level (where most of the airport’s facilities can be found), and arrivals on level one. In 2000 the airport was renamed in honour of the famed Lyon writer and aviator Antoine de Saint Exupéry.

Airport parking at Lyon:

There are five car parks, labeled P0, P1, P2, P5 and P6. The underground car park P0 offers short-term parking with direct lift access to the terminals. P1 and P2 are short-term car parks for Terminals 1 and 2 respectively. P5 and P6 are long-term car parks served every 10 minutes by a free shuttle bus (from 4:45 to 23:35).
