Airport
Overview: There are 3 terminals, Terminal 1,
Terminal 2 & Terminal 3, all joined together. There is an area with shops in the middle and a train
station linked to it. The rental car areas are reached by a free shuttle bus.
By Road: The airport is signed from the city as Saint Exupéry. If driving to the airport from the city, take the A43/E70 and follow signs for St Exupery. A
toll of €1.70 is payable in both directions for cars. More for larger vehicles.
Signage in the city and airport area is poor. Following signs from the airport
to the city, leads you to a roundabout after about 3 miles. The choices on the
signs are Geneva or Grenoble. No mention of Lyon! In fact the Geneva sign will
take you to the city.
