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 Saint Maarten Princess Juliana International Airport to the City Center
Saint Martin Island is an island divided by France and the Netherlands and has two airports on the island. The largest of these is the airport where international flights land, Saint Maarten Princess Juliana Airport on the Dutch side and also one of the busiest airports in the Caribbean.
However, there is no public bus or public transport to get from Saint Maarten Airport to Phillipsburg city centre.
The most common way to get from Saint Maarten Airport to the city center is to rent a taxi or a car. The only taxi company operating at this airport is St. Maarten Airport Taxi Association. You can take a taxi you will see as soon as you leave the terminal and go to Phillipsburg city center, which is 11 km away, or you can make a reservation via the official website. If you get on without a reservation, these taxis do not have a meter and the fares are fixed according to your destination. It is also possible to pay by credit card or in Euros and Dollars.
There are many car rental companies at Saint Maarten International Airport. You can rent a car from the airport either in advance or after entering the country. But the roads on the island are narrow and generally in poor condition. Sometimes traffic can get stuck and it is necessary to pay attention to the many dangerous driving engines. By the way, although there is no border between the Dutch and French regions on the island, it is technically forbidden to cross between the two regions by vehicle.
One of the easiest ways to get to the city center from Saint Maarten Airport is to purchase a shared shuttle service. Reservations can be made on the Viator website at an affordable price. Likewise, private airport transfers can be booked instead of shared vehicles.
