For accurate bus times, use our Online Booking Form and enter your dates, the route you are interested in and the number of Adults and Children in your group. The next page will ask for your flight details and the page will then refresh to show you our available buses.
If you arrive into Lyon too late on a Saturday evening for our last service, you could stay in one of the many hotels close to the Airport and take public transport the next day, but this would take quite some time on a Sunday. A private transfer might be a better option.
Remember, you could book a Single with us for one leg of your journey and travel the other way with another company. Visit this page of our website to see what public transport and private taxi options we recommend.
