FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What pickup time should I choose after my flight lands at Lyon Airport?
For Schengen arrivals without routine passport control, choose pickup approximately 30–50 minutes after landing. If passport control is required, allow at least approximately 40 minutes on weekdays, 60 minutes on Saturdays and 50 minutes on Sundays. Particularly busy periods may require 80–100 minutes or longer.
These are planning estimates: baggage collection, nationality and travel documents affect timing. Ask us via website chat for help.
What pickup time should I choose for my return to Lyon Airport?
Choose pickup from Val Thorens 5 hours 5 minutes before your scheduled flight in normal conditions. This allows an estimated 2 hours 35 minutes’ drive, targeting airport arrival approximately 2 hours 30 minutes before departure.
If your Saturday drive overlaps the typical 08:00–11:00 busy period, allow 30 extra minutes on the road: 5 hours 35 minutes before departure. Heavy traffic or winter weather may require more time; follow any longer airline check-in guidance.
If we notice an unsuitable selected pickup time, we’ll contact you and recommend an alternative. Website chat can also help.
