Arrivals
Lyon brings flights into Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, joined landside by a central building a short walk apart. Clear passport control, collect your cases, then pick up skis and oversized bags from the outsize baggage belt. Your e-ticket names the terminal your driver is standing in and gives you a number to call.
Private transfers
Your driver waits in your arrivals hall, past the barrier, holding a sign that shows your name or the 'hoppa' logo.
Coaches
Walk out to the coach park on the forecourt, signed from both terminals. Follow the coach signs rather than the tram ones.
Delays & Driver Info
1
Free waiting time
You get up to 60 minutes of free waiting after your flight lands. On an international arrival a 30-minute buffer is added before the waiting time starts, which covers the outsize belt handing back skis and boards.
Delayed, diverted or landing early?
Your driver follows your flight from the moment you board. Winter weather in the Rhône valley pushes Lyon arrivals around and occasionally sends one to Geneva or Marseille. Your driver sees it before the hall does and will contact you to reposition or rebook. A delayed flight simply moves your pick-up, with nothing for you to do.

Can't find your driver?
Stay in your arrivals hall and call the number on your e-ticket. hoppa's team picks up in an average of 11 seconds, a 99.7% call answer rate: a real person, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The hoppa help centre answers most questions before you need to call.
What to do around Lyon?
If your flight home leaves late in the day, the old city repays a few hours.
- Vieux Lyon below Fourvière is the largest Renaissance quarter in France, and the covered passageways between its streets are open to walk through.
- Les Halles Paul Bocuse is a food market rather than a museum, and an hour there is the quickest way to understand why the city is famous for eating.
- The Roman theatres on the Fourvière hill are free to enter and still used for concerts in summer, with the whole city laid out below them.
