Glad to report that we have access to Confluence Lounge for Schengen flights

Tried to get to the main terminal on correspondance between Hop ! flights to visit the lounge, was shooed back to the bus depot by the person directing passengers off the flights. Oh well, it's just a short correspondance.

IIRC T1 doesn’t have strict arrivals/departures separation.
Can’t you just follow the flow of exiting PAX to end up in the central Plaza ?

Or do you follow a different exit way when coming from a Hop flight?

Hop ! Flights are in a separate D gates area.

There's a pathway to exit/bagages, and one for correspondances. Two separate hallways, I was afraid if i continued down the sortie, I'd get spit out in bagages then have to go thru security contrôle.

So i hooked into the underground hallway for correspondances, where the person was. I suspect if I'd said my destination was Paris, I could have continued right towards the main terminal/Plaza.

Again, for 30mn it's not a huge deal. No weather disruptions today so already on board.

This is a little off-topic but has anyone done a connecting flight at LYS? How does it work?

The post above yours describes how a connection between Hop flights works. Do you have a different connection in mind?

It's NCE-LYS-AMS so that I can give a colleague certain documents they forgot to bring with them airside before their flight.

You should be able to meet in the central plaza in T1.

I arrive at LYS a few minutes before when boarding starts for my colleague. I'm also trying to also see if I can get an earlier flight to LYS and meet my colleague at the central plaza.

If you plan to board the mid-day NCE LYS (AF1699), do allow for some buffer time. It's often 15-30 minutes late.
The morning route (06:50 AF1701) is usually better

After a few weeks of chaos for fast track boarding in LYS, good news: the fast track is back with a good surprise... scanners for luggage!

No need to unpack everything anymore.
Secondary screening, as in AMS, doesn't seem to be an issue.

I was in and out in 2 (actual) minutes today. A much-appreciated improvement.
