Cheap flights from Liverpool to Lyon

Book a few months ahead if you can, since connecting fares on this route tend to move as seats fill. February is the cheapest month in the price calendar, so winter travel outside the Christmas and school-holiday weeks is where the savings sit. Prices are tracked from October through June, which covers the colder months right into early summer. Lyon's own summer and French holiday periods draw more demand, so shifting your dates by a few days can change the fare noticeably.

Start with the connections, because every itinerary here involves at least one change. Jet2 and Easyjet are low-cost carriers, so their base fares cover little beyond the seat and baggage costs extra. Loganair Limited, Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines sit closer to the full-service end on their short sectors, though what is included still varies by fare. Since the tickets may combine carriers that do not share a booking, check whether your connection is on one ticket or two before you commit.

Sort your onward transfer before you land. Lyon's St Exupery airport sits outside the city, and the express tram plus road links are the usual ways into town, so decide in advance how you will cover that last stretch. The Lyon Part-Dieu railway station option is worth noting too: if your itinerary ends there, you arrive practically in the city centre with metro and local trains on the spot. Check which of the two your booking actually uses, because it changes your first hour in Lyon.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm whether your connection is on a single ticket or two separate ones, since a missed leg then means rebooking at your own cost.
• Check the baggage rules of the low-cost carriers, as Easyjet and Jet2 charge for checked bags on top of base fares.
• Verify which Lyon airport your ticket names, St Exupery or Part-Dieu station, before planning your transfer into town.
• Check passport and entry requirements for France as a United Kingdom departure point.
• Compare February fares against other months, since that is the cheapest month on this route.
