The San Francisco International Airport (Highway 101 near the junction of Highway 380) is the primary commercial passenger airport serving San Francisco and the surrounding areas. The airport hosts most international and domestic airlines offering cheap flights from San Francisco. You can also use Orbitz.com to book an alternate flight out of Oakland International Airport (1 Oakland Drive, Oakland) or San Jose International Airport (2065 Airport Boulevard, San Jose).
San Francisco International's parking garages are a 10-minute walk or less from the gates, and there is free shuttle service from the long-term lots. Parking costs anywhere from $18 to $38 per day, depending on the option you choose. If you've used Orbitz.com to book your discount flights, you may have saved enough to justify spending the extra money to use the airport's valet parking service.
A taxi, limousine or shared-ride van to the airport will cost anywhere from $17 to $40. Factor in plenty of extra travel time for the 13-mile ride, as rush-hour traffic can be brutal. You can also use the public BART system or the SamTrans public bus service, both of which will cost you less than $10. Don't forget to use Orbitz.com before you leave to book a rental car in your destination city.
The San Francisco airport has roughly 50 eateries where you can grab a coffee or have a light meal. Most of the restaurants and cafes are located within the terminals past the security checkpoint, but there are a few restaurants before you reach the security gates. Have a great flight to your final destination, and don't forget to use Orbitz.com the next time you're looking for cheap flights from San Francisco.
When you book flights to Lyon with Orbitz.com, your plane will land at the Lyon St-Exupéry Airport.

To drive from the airport to the city, you can book a rental car online at Orbitz.com. Car rental companies that operate out of the airport include Avis, Hertz and National. There are also several public transportation options available. The Tram Express, which brings you to the city in 30 minutes, costs about 15 dollars. Multiple bus companies operate out of the airport, going into Lyon and cities around the region. You can buy bus tickets from the kiosks in the airport near ground transportation. The TGV train operates from a station within walking distance from the terminal, and trains run regularly to Paris, Lyon and Grenoble.
