Paris Flights

Often called the City of Lights, Paris is known throughout the world as a destination filled with romance, culture, and exquisite charm. Finding cheap flights to Paris can be difficult if you do not plan ahead, as this fantastic destination is often filled with tourists looking to explore some of the more recognisable attractions, such as Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower. Although these landmarks are fantastic, this city has much more to offer, like Musée Rodin, the Pré Catelan gardens, and the Au Lapin Agile cabaret.

Best time to go to Paris

Peak Season:

Although this city never ceases to see throngs of visitors, the absolute peak season falls from June to early September. Flights to Paris during the peak season can be pricey, as tourists pack the streets to celebrate the Marais Festival in June and Bastille Day in July. Though crowds linger through August, the city quiets down a bit as many of the locals go on holiday, leaving tourists to mingle with each other at one of the many sidewalk cafes.

Shoulder Season:

As other tourists are planning their trips to Paris, the adventurous visitor will use late September to October, or March to May to explore the many delights of the city in solitude. This is a great time to see some of the more familiar sights, such as the historic Moulin Rouge, the Musée du Louvre, and La Seine.

Off Season:

From November through February the city sees a lull in tourism due to the dark skies and the chilly, wet weather. Flights are typically inexpensive, making it easier for visitors to indulge in some shopping at Galeries Lafayette or fine dining on Champs Elysees.

Do you have any tips for my flight to Paris?
We've got the lowdown on how to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you'll be hightailing it through the airport and enjoying Paris in no time at all. What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • First and foremost, pack in your passport, official ID, wallet and medications. Next, you'll want some entertainment to while away the hours. A juicy novel and a tablet filled with your favourite movies are always good options. If you hope to take a short nap, a quality neck pillow and a pair of earplugs will also be useful. Finally, make room for a toothbrush and some deodorant to ensure you touchdown feeling fresh and raring to go.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • While the list of banned items can differ between airlines, the general guide to follow is avoid carrying anything flammable, sharp or explosive. This includes tools, metal cutlery, spray paint and fireworks. Sports equipment like baseball bats, and items that could harm passengers, such as swords and batons, won't be allowed on board either.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Your main priority is to feel as comfortable as you can. Opt for slip-on footwear, dress in loose, natural fibers and remember to bring a sweater in case it gets chilly in the cabin.
  • Caused by prolonged periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clotting condition that can affect some passengers on long-distance flights. Lower your risks by drinking water, keeping your feet and legs moving and wearing compression tights or socks.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Paris?
The answer is simple — be organised. We've compiled some useful tips for a speedy trip through security. Look out Paris, here you come:

  • Keep your passport and travel documents handy. They're the first things you'll be asked to show at airport security.
  • Your belt, jacket, keys and other items in your pocket, like your earphones, will need to go through the X-ray machine. Make the whole process faster by removing them before your turn.
  • For just a few minutes, you'll need to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, laptop and any other electronic gadgets will need to be sent through the scanner.
  • Want to bring along your favourite perfume? Not a problem. As long as the volume is no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres) and it's stored in a clear zip-lock bag, you can bring it with you in your carry-on.
  • Slip-on shoes are a practical footwear choice as you're less likely to have to remove them when passing through security. Safety boots and other bulky shoes are often subjected to extra screening.
  • Pocket knives and other sharp items are prohibited in the cabin. They'll be seized at security, so pack them in your checked suitcase.
