FAQ — Shuttle Lyon Airport
What is the Rhônexpress and how much does it cost? ▾
The Rhônexpress is a tram-train linking Lyon Part-Dieu station directly to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) in 29 minutes. Adult single fare: €16.4. It runs from approximately 6am to midnight. Note: it only departs from Part-Dieu — if you are not staying near that station, you need to add metro or taxi time.
Is there a direct shuttle from Lyon to the airport? ▾
The only direct public shuttle from Lyon city centre to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport is the Rhônexpress (from Part-Dieu only). For departures from addresses outside Part-Dieu, a private transfer (from €60 for the whole vehicle) is usually faster and more convenient — especially for families or travellers with luggage.
Is there a shuttle from Grenoble to Lyon Airport? ▾
There is no direct shuttle from Grenoble to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport. The options are: (1) TER train Grenoble → Lyon Part-Dieu (1h15) + Rhônexpress (29 min) = 2 connections, 2h+ total. (2) TAL private transfer direct, approximately 1h15 by car, €120 fixed price including tolls — a much more practical option for early flights or with luggage.
When is the private transfer better than the Rhônexpress? ▾
The Rhônexpress is ideal for solo travellers departing from near Part-Dieu. A private transfer is better when: (1) you are travelling from outside Lyon centre; (2) you have more than 1 piece of luggage; (3) your flight departs before 6am or after midnight; (4) you are 2+ people (combined Rhônexpress fares at €32.80 vs €60 per vehicle for TAL).
Is there a shuttle from Annecy to Lyon Airport? ▾
There is no direct public shuttle from Annecy to Lyon Saint-Exupéry Airport. TAL offers a direct private transfer from Annecy to LYS at €148 fixed price — approximately 1h30 to 1h45 by car. This is the most practical option for travellers from Annecy, Chambéry or the Savoie region.
