Transportation from City Center to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport
There are transportation options such as Lyon express tram, train, shuttle buses, taxi and car rental to get to Lyon Saint-Exupery Airport, which is approximately 5 km from Lyon city center.
It is possible to reach the airport in 30 minutes by using the Express tram line from the city center. It is also possible to buy tram tickets online, apart from the box office.
Those who come to the airport by train from the city center should not forget that the train station is within 5 minutes' walking distance from the airport. If you have a lot of luggage and you cannot walk, taxis can be a life saver at this point. If you want to take a taxi not only between the station and the airport but also all the way, you have to pay 50-55 euros during the day and 65-70 euros at night.
In the city where the night tariff is applied, you can reduce the price a little more by bargaining with the taxi driver.
In addition, shuttle buses serving between 06.00-23.00 are a frequently used option for transportation to the airport.
Transportation from Belfast International Airport to City Center
Since Belfast is one of the largest cities in Ireland, there are various transportation options from Belfast International Airport to the city. The fastest of these is to take the taxis of The International Airport Taxi Company, the official taxi operator of the airport.
These taxis operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you exit the arrival terminal and turn right, you will see this taxi stop area. The price tariff applied to various parts of the city is hung in various parts of the terminal building. You can also check the company's website for the size of the car and the price schedule.
Another slower but certainly more economical option is the Airport Express 300 airport bus. This bus leaves every 15 minutes during rush hour, every day of the week. The bus fare is paid to the toll booth at the terminal or to the driver on the bus, or it is purchased directly from the smartphone application. The vehicle can be boarded from the platform directly opposite the main exit gate of the terminal.
Depending on the road traffic conditions, it takes between 30 and 40 minutes. There may be delays in departure times, especially on public holidays with heavy air traffic. You can check the hours of the airport shuttles operated by Translink, the operator of these buses, on the website at the link.
If you have used Belfast Airport to go to Londonderry, you are lucky because vehicles to this city depart directly from the airport. These minibuses, which depart every 30 minutes during busy hours, cover this distance of approximately 100 km in 1.5 hours on average. Minibuses leave from the bus stop in front of the terminal building.
I've come this far, if you say you wouldn't go back without seeing the sights in Belfast, the most logical move would be to rent a car. Thus, you can both see Belfast with your own rhythm and skip the airport transfer. There are 5 car rental companies in the terminal building and almost all of them are located on the arrival floor. You can find the contact information of these companies on the airport's website. By the way, keep in mind that traffic flows on the left in Ireland.
