When flying into France from the U.S. via Air France, consider landing at CDG.

  • Which airport in France is closest to Paris' main tourist attractions?

    France’s three most popular attractions are the Eiffel Tower, The Louvre Museum, and the Palace of Versailles. If you are traveling to France to visit one of these attractions, consider flying into Orly Airport as it is the closest to the three sites.

  • Which airport in the U.S. links to an airport express train system?

    If you are from a residential area close to an express train system, you can take the train to the airport as it is fast and drop-off is at the airport. Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) in the U.S. is connected to an intercity rail system, which is convenient for fast transit to the airport for your flight. The airport has a station and serves the northern region of the U.S., Acela, Vermonter, and Palmetto regions.

  • How can I visit Normandy?

    Normandy is one of three northern French regions that border the English Channel and you can get there first by flying into one of the airports in Paris and then taking a train, bus or car to either Rouen, the capital of Normandy or Caen, which lies more in the center of the region. From there you can visit the famous beaches of WWII.

    Passengers on flights from the US to France should know there is a Travelex office at each Paris airport where you can purchase euros.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight out of the United States

  • France is a big country with different major cities. There are five main international airports serving the U.S.-to-France route; therefore, when visiting France, you should consider the proximity of your specific destination. If you are headed to the city center, then Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CGD) is ideal, or you can fly to Orly Airport (ORY), which is also easily accessible from the airport.
  • The five busiest airports are also the most cost-effective to fly into France. You can take your flight to either one, like Nice Airport (NCE), then connect to the rest of the country via metro transit, which is easily accessible and wallet-friendly.
  • If you are traveling during winter, consider landing at Lyon-Saint Exupery Airport (LYS), as the airport has close proximity to powdery pistes at Les Deux Alpes and Chamrousse.
  • If you are traveling on a budget, the Beauvais Airport (BVA), located about 85 kilometers from Paris, is the ideal airport to which to fly. The airport serves budget-friendly airlines traveling internationally and domestically. It is, however, the farthest from the capital and, therefore, might take you a while to get to Paris.
  • If you are visiting France on business, the Le Bourget Airport (LBG), which is approximately 6.8 miles (11 km) from France's city center, is a business airport. Business facilities within the airport could be helpful for your needs.
  • Flights from the US to France will arrive either at Cote d’Azur Airport (NCE) in the city of Nice at the southeastern edge of the country, or at one of the two international airports that serve the greater metropolitan area of the capital Paris: Paris Orly Airport (ORY) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in the north.
  • Cote d’Azur Airport in the southern region of Provence-Alpes-Cote d’Azur allows tourists to visit the French Alps, Mont Blanc and the city of Cannes, which hosts its famous film festival. It is also home to the Mediterranean port city of Marseille as well as the principality of Monaco.
  • The Loire Valley wine region of France stretches from the city of Nantes in Pays de la Loire up to the city of Orleans in Centre Val de Loire. Both regions lie due west of Paris and are easy to access if you fly into one of the two Paris airports, although Paris Orly Airport is geographically closer to both.
  • The city of Orleans is the closest major interior city from either Paris airport and is a perfect gateway to visit Dijon, Bourges and Limoges.
  • Southwestern France is dominated by the regions of Nouvelle Aquitaine and Occitanie, marking the border with Spain. It’s a long drive from Paris or Nice, so you may wish to take a connecting flight into Merignac Airport (BOD) in Bordeaux or Blagnac Airport (TLS) in Toulouse in order to get there and save some time.

My only issue was my meal was inedible except for the sides.

Old cabine without flat bed in business for a 12 hour flight is not acceptable

Generally good. The crew is excellent. The food could be better.

Did not find the wheelchair that supposed to assist and went to a long queue for transit security chk which was very slow and boarding desk wanted to close counter although that they knew that I am minutes away because of their mistake of not providing the wheelchair.

Boarding was smooth and on time. The seat was comfortable and the entertainment worked. Staff were gracious.

Business class in the second leg - CDG-EVN was a disaster.

I have used Air France and KLM many times it will help if they change their menu's feel like it's been the same for years!!!, Especially the breakfast. Overall the flight was good and enjoyable.

No birding was given for next trip on same carrier, food was very moderate.

We transited through Chad and what was supposed to be a 1hr 20 minutes transit time lasted over 4hrs. We didn't get regular updates until we complained. After a 10hr flight from Paris no form of refreshment given and finally arrived Abuja over 6hrs later and none of my bags came

The line at boarding was not well organized and managed

Standard flight experience, but there is only power at the seat to row 20 on the aircraft, on my initial check in it did not say that was the case

Not a fan of the diagonal partially enclosed business class seats or how they have to be converted to beds manually by crew. I prefer more isolation and user control for switching to lie flat.

No lounge access with “United First” ticket. False alarm about late flight, jeopardizing connection. Wrong meal. Loose power socket would not hold plug, could not charge device. In-flight access to text messaging did not work. Toilet seat on plane would not stay up.

We ended up with seats in the very back. So they did not recline. Have no idea why, we reserved and checked in very early. The isles were very narrow and the seats had very little leg room. But they did give us water, and a snack.

Energetic crew - flight full of swiftied going to Taylor's opening show in Paris! Long lines for bathroom made out kind of suck though

Check in etc was very good. As for on the plane, it was like flying in a freezer. It was so cold, i have flown for years and never been so cold on a plane. Staff on board said its always cold when flying which is a load of rubbish. They wouldnt put any heating on and now i have the flu because of this .

I’ve had a couple flights this week on United that were delayed by an hour or more

Flight was delayed 2.5 hours - a big deal on an overnight when you plan to sleep.

I feel like they have upgraded the app since I last flew United and I found it to be super helpful. I had stopped flying United unless absolutely necessary and my experience on this trip indicates they have been working hard to improve their services.

Surprisingly easy! I was hesitant to try this, but the cost swayed me. I actually felt like I had less stress than all the taxiing and possible delays that occur with short regional flights where you spend less time in the air than getting to and from the plane..

Not being able to get a different seat with above average height unless I would pay for a seat ($41). Poor included beverage choice. Food: I’m am not picky in terms of food but that was the most horrific set of options ever experienced, for me and my fellow passengers. In my row no one was able to finish their food. Literal dog-grade chow. If you want to be cheap, at this point provide us with actual COMBAT RATIONS. You would save money, passengers would get enough food and better taste.

Nice travel , but would have been better if luggage was included in the price and not an extra charge..

Norse Atlantic is the worst airline I’ve ever traveled with, and i travel a lot. First, they made me check my carry on duffle (never had a problem before) because my backpack they said “isn’t a personal item”. It fits under the seat so yes it is a personal item. $125€ for the duffle and $125€ for my wife’s checked bag, $250€ for two bags, RIPOFF! Once on the flight we got delayed 45mins because the attendants/airline were giving a handicap gentleman a hard time about his scooter which they had already given him permission to bring on board. He also stated he’s never had this problem, & after a lengthy discussion they finally realized they were wrong since it wasn’t ion battery operated and he had all the paperwork. Eventually they allowed him to stow it above his seat which they watched his wife struggle with for over a minute before they helped her. Also, Make sure you purchase food in advance! This airline is EVERYTHING for purchase, from WATER to SNACKS to BLANKETS. Yes, WATER. International flight and not a single thing free. People were literally lining up to the bathroom with empty water bottles to fill up in the sink. The Aircraft was criminally FREEZING as if they intentionally jacked up the air so people would buy $7€ blankets. People were changing into layers in the bathroom & bringing down their carry-ons so they could find layers in their suitcases. Those that didn’t have layers in their bag or had to check their bags had to endure an 8.5hr torture session from Rome to JFK. Add all that to the ridiculous timing of turning on the lights (red eye) so they could come down the aisle with duty “free” options for purchase. A hot topic between passengers while waiting to deboard/get through customs. I wouldn’t fly Norse Atlantic Airways again if they paid me.

I payed for luggage but there was additional luggage charge this wasn’t clear when i purchased.

The crew from Norse was absolutely great! Friendly, respectful and professional! They helped me resolve my baggage issue in Fiumicino, which was a long process and one of the counter girls was her first day at work 😌 they were all great. And later, when they found my 87 year old mom who got completely lost at Fiumicino in a different terminal, all by herself.. they were patient and kind and treated everyone with respect and care. Grazie Norse!!

Crew was excellent, very friendly and professional. Seating was very tight…I’m not a tall person and my knees were touching the seat in front of me. A little bit more legroom would be great.

Chaotic check in. It took an extra hour to haul all across large LAX airport three different times back & fourth. Had no access to duty free shop.

Great flight for great price. Only thing they need is on board Wi-Fi and an app.

It was cold, blankets would have been a big plus.

Airline was unable to check me in, even though I had a valid US visa which they called to confirm. Their system still did not allow check in. If you have a visa don’t travel on this airline. Will be seeking a refund.

did not get the seats we had specially paid for

This is a no frills airline. You cant expect much for the price. Low cost flight, clean, nice staff. That's all I need for the price. If you want more, book with another airline and pay more. For Europe trips, PLAY is the ONLY airline I use

Misleading instructions for check in. Although I did virtual check in and was instructed to head to security, once I was at security, they told me to go back to Play ticket counter and get paper tickets. Also, beware that Play doesn’t participate in TSA PreCheck. I didn’t know that, despite entering PreCheck info when I purchased the tickets. I wasted time in the TSA PreCheck line as well. So we had two setbacks at check in.

It's a budget airline, so forewarned is forearmed. Yes, you pay for everything like carry-on, checked baggage, seat selection, but that's becoming the case with major airlines. Bringing your own snacks and entertainment on board is highly recommended. It's no frills, but the crew, the plane and the flight itself was great. If you want pampering go for a larger airline. If you just want to get from A to B in comfort and safety, Play is a great choice.

It is a low cost airline. Staff are courteous. There is no entertainment. Food is purchased.

Upon boarding, the people at the gate were extremely rude, there were no outlets on a 6 hour international flight, there was no entertainment, all food and drink was purchase only (even snacks), and my seat reclining function was fully broken. The only redeeming quality was the flight attendants were extremely nice. This was by far the worst flight I have ever been on in my entire life

I don’t know how international flights can’t have media screens to keep people entertained for the long flight. Ugh.

Typical experience for budget airline. Boarding from KEF required bus transit from the gate to plane, so if you had "priority boarding" it was useless as it was simply a free-for-all when getting off the bus. But still no issues with getting our luggage into overhead bin so not really a problem.

Was very apprehensive about flying Play, but the flight was fine. Nothing special, nothing horrible. Fair price to get from New York to Iceland.

I wasn’t able to check in online the day before or the day of because their web configuration or business model idk. I arrived an hour early and check was closed and there was no one around to speak to and eventually was told there was no possible way to get a digital ticket despite I had no luggage to check and would have easily made it through security to boarding and had to pay for a new ticket for $330 ontop of the $169 I spend for the ticket and then I missed my rental car for $305 because I only arrived at midnight instead of noon that I was originally intended. All booked through kayak. I hope there is some kind of insurance from kayak because this was totally preventable had I not been blocked by play air from getting my check in and plane ticket.

everything is an extra cost on this flight, you need to pay to have a your children sit next to you (they won’t change the seat for your kids to sit next to you without charging you), food is an extra you need to pay for on a 12 hour flight, no drinks or snacks throughout the flight, the media selection is subpar and your phone has more options

Many families including ours we seated separately. For kids entertainment only 2 cartoons for 11 hour flight. Checked bag $100 each. Everything else was fine

The boarding process was completely disorganized, adding avoidable stress, and the airline's business model is tight spaces, but seats that recline more to make sleep easier in economy. The passenger behind us did not understand that and shook our chair saying we're reclining too much. We immediately brought the flight attendants in to mediate and deescalate the situation, and they didn't. The passenger behind us kept harassing my wife throughout the 8 hour flight. They should be better trained in this regard if this is the airline's business model and promise to passengers like us who review leg space and reclining angles before purchasing a fare on the airline.

The orthopedic sits, no room to move, no reclining, was horrible and because that I'm still in pain and aches in my whole body

Seats were uncomfortable. Lower back support would be nice. It was the usual for an airplane. Other than that, everything was wonderful. Even my kids said the food was good! Nice to get a blanket and set of earbuds.

Flight got canceled, took us 3 hrs in line to give us vouchers for hotel and meals, which was chaotic and then went to hotel and the voucher did not work at hotel, had to pay and apply for reimbursement and waiting for payment

Better than expected from a low cost airline! The food, seat and overall experience was great! I would fly with them again.

We were there on time we checked in early online and when we got to the airport we only had one code ticket and not the other one, the people at the desk didn’t want to print the other ticket since we didn’t have it on the phone

Pros: "All of the ground grew was excellent, I always travel with my service dog and they handled the process very professionally."
Cons: "Over the phone service in trying to notify the airline that I was travelling with my service dog was ridiculous. I called multiple times, but nobody could understand me due to their limited English, and refused to put in a note in my booking because were insisting on a letter from a psychiatric doctor, which is not applicable. As per the French Bee (an most airline) regulations - this is a requirement for ESA and not service animals, on top of the fact my disability is not psychiatric. Result was no comment put on my booking, but fortunately the staff at the airport were very helpful and understanding."
Pros: "I did not prepay for a meal, but the options available compelled me to buy. The meal was exceptional. The service was also 5-star and the seat was quite comfortable."
Cons: "The flight was late."
