Everything went smoothly, the staff was friendly, the special meal was correct. It was with Singapore Airlines for the first two legs (Penang to Singapore then Singapore to LAX). The final leg of LAX to BWI was with United.

As the birthplace of gastronomy as we know it, Lyon has long been a welcoming playground for foodies — but there’s much more to enjoy in France’s third largest city. History and culture add layers of depth to this metropolis, whether it’s through the eye-catching architecture found throughout the city or the various museums exhibiting everything from world-class art to the history of cinema.
But back to the gastronomy: there’s no doubt that palate-pleasing dishes are one of the main draws in Lyon. International cuisine and fine dining options abound, but the true star of Lyon’s culinary scene is the bouchon, a traditional, casual French restaurant where diners can enjoy authentic local dishes without breaking the bank. Although the latest concepts by the wealth of creative chefs who set up kitchens in Lyon will attempt to distract visitors from these inexpensive restaurants, a hearty plate at a bouchon is a must when visiting the city.
Beyond the dining scene, Lyon is a modern metropolis with plenty for travelers to enjoy. Historic basilicas and churches add a touch of charm to the city’s skyline, while the wealth of museums, theaters and art galleries ensure the local culture scene pleases even the worldliest of travelers. Quaint neighborhoods seem to teem with history and are well worth a stroll to see what welcoming cafes, shops and architecture lie around the corner. And when it comes time to return to the modern world, the economic center known as the Presqu’ile awaits with its wealth of high-end shops, restaurants and entertainment.
June, July and August are considered the peak travel months in Lyon, thanks to warm temperatures. July also sees Lyon’s annual celebration of Bastille Day, which brings fireworks and festivities to the city. Cheap flights to Lyon can be found during the months of December, January and February, which typically see cold and humid weather. Shoulder months of March, April, October and November can offer both reasonable sightseeing weather and more affordable flights.
Plenty of public transportation options make it relatively simple to get around Lyon. Buses, trams and metros serve the entire city, and Lyon’s public transportation is considered both safe and comfortable. Walking is another option to get around the city, as are bicycle rentals, which can be found at more than 300 self-service rental stations throughout Lyon. Taxis can be arranged by telephone, but it is the costliest option for getting around Lyon.
Lyon-Saint Exupery International Airport (LYS) is located 15 miles (24km) from the city center of Lyon. Easily accessible via the direct high-speed train lines from Marseille and Paris, its location gives travelers a wonderful opportunity to explore three of France’s most vibrant cities without having to do too much traveling.
Lyon-Saint Exupery International Airport also caters for younger travelers, providing them with “Space Games” areas to play in – a welcome distraction for parents who need to entertain energetic kids.
Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport, formerly Lyon Satolas Airport, is named after French pilot and writer Antoine de Saint-Exupery. It’s an important transport hub for the Rhone-Alpes region which includes Burgundy (Bourgogne) and the westernmost parts of the Alps.
The fourth-busiest airport in France, flights to Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport come from all over the globe. Passengers consistently rate the airport highly as it is modern, efficient and easy to navigate.
