Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from Shanghai Hongqiao Airport to Lyon Airport last minute?
When it comes to booking your flights, being prepared pays dividends. While you could find a last-minute deal on a Hongqiao Intl. Airport (SHA) to LYS flight, tickets usually don't get cheaper as the departure date nears. Based on flight pricing and demand studies in 2022, we have found that the sweet spot to lock in a domestic flight is between 28 – 35 days ahead. For international flights it's between three and four months.
What airports do you fly into for Lyon from Shanghai?
From Shanghai, you can connect to Lyon through Saint-Exupery Airport (LYS), Grenoble - Isere Airport (GNB) and Chambery - Savoie Airport (CMF).
