Lille City Guide - Getting There By Air

Aéroport de Lille
Tel: 0891 673 210.
Website: www.lille.aeroport.fr

The airport is located in Lesquin, 10km (6 miles) from Lille. A shuttle links the airport with the city centre in 20 minutes (tel: (03) 2090 7979) and runs from 0530-2230 during the week, and depending on flights at the weekend. Neither British Airways nor any of the no-frills airlines fly there, though, and even Air France does not have any direct flights from the UK. From the UK, the best option by far is Eurostar (see Getting There by Train).
