 | Paris Flights and Airline Tips | 11 - 20 of 99 |  | You can get to Paris either by plane or by train, and both methods are just fine. Paris has 2 main airports: Charles de Gaulle -CDG- (where I usually fly into and is located in the north east of Paris) and Orly (located in the south); a smaller airport (Beauvais, mainly used by the budget airlines and quite small and inconvenient) and many train stations, such as Gare de Lyon (shown on the picture). All of the airports and train stations are connected to the Metro and/or RER (regional train) network, so you don't have to spend a fortune in a taxi to get to downtown Paris as it was the case many years ago. In my personal case, I took the RER + metro from CDG airport (I've flown from Mex City to Paris directly with Air France and via London with British Airways) all the way to Gare de Lyon train station, which was only 2 blocks away from the hotel I was staying at. You can do the same if you arrive at any other of the train stations located in Paris - it's easy to move from one place to the other using the extensive metro/RER network. If you arrive by plane, there are also buses (such as the so called Roissy-Bus) which will take you from the CDG airport to the Opera Garnier, and Air France cars that will take you from either of the 2 airports to different spots in Paris for a fee of around 9-15 EUR (per person) depending on where you're going (for more info on the latter check website provided). If arriving to Orly, they also have 2-3 different options to go to Paris, besides the AF Cars: you can take buses to nearby RER stations or a fast train called ORLYVAL which takes you to the Antony RER station; then you can go anywhere you want within the metro network. There are also different options to transfer between these 2 airports, with Orlyval, Orlybus and AF cars. Leave a Comment

OK. Charles de Gaulle Airport needs work. I have traveled quite a bit and I must say that this was the most poorly kept airport (excluding the airport in Havana, Cuba) that I have ever had the displeasure of landing in. It was just plain dirty and inefficient. I know that you should just accept things when you travel, and I was OK with it, but I am noting, for the record, that this was a nasty airport. The walls are covered in these octagonal mosaic tiles that used to be white but are now chipped and dirty. The ceiling looks like it's pure asbestos and the seats that were once bright orange were black with stains. We were waiting at the baggage carousel for an hour before we saw any suitcases. It was hot and there were no designated smoking sections so the air was stuffy. There is no convenient way to file into the elevators to exit the facility without having to bully your way in. We were wholeheartedly glad to be out of there. I think had we taken a taxi at this point we would have been happier but we decided to take the RER train into Paris instead. We were just tired after not having slept for nearly 24 hours. We bought a Paris Visit pass good for 5 days for unlimited train travel and boarded the train towards Les Halles. I think we were shocked to see all the graffiti and the poor state of the suburbs on the way to Paris. Much of the scenery consisted of trash, barbed wire, and run-down buildings that looked like projects. Paris, like any major city, is very expensive and most people that work there have to commute. Kind of like New York. On the train two accordion players broke the ice and we finally felt like we were really in France and not on the Path headed to Newark. Leave a Comment

Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport (former Roissy) is one of the largest european airports and a hub for Air France (the French national carrier), actually under modernization works; the second airport in Paris is Orly (ORY). Leave a Comment

Ryanair fly to Beauvais from Ireland, England, Scotland, Spain, Italy and Sweden. Beauvais is around 1hr15 North of Paris. Ryanair usually have great offers on flights. I have flown to Beauvais from Shannon (Ireland) return for as little as 23 Euros. When you arrive at Beauvais airport, Ryanair provide a shuttle service to Porte Maillot in Paris for 10 Euros.

So this is my brief review of Delta's flight paths from Midwestern America into Paris. I'm not the best person on airplanes, so the shortest route is usually the one I recommend. The most direct route for us was through Des Moines, Iowa (DSM) then on to Cinn., Ohio (CVG) via a ComAir jet, and that direct to Paris, France (CDG.) It was a great few flights. No stress, but Delta is always pretty good with that sort of thing. Don't sweat it if the layover in CVG appears short, the airport is very small and I've never had more than 10 minutes times between my gates even when I had to change terminals. As for your carry-ons, do NOT tear off the red tags they attach when you initially board at your airport of origin. These will be required to carry the bag onto all the planes for your trip. As of last month, Delta flights from CVG into France do not have the individual seat-back entertainment centers. This is worth it for us though, as we're vegetarians and the selection of food is always good. The standard meals are generally curry. For the non-dietary restricted, it's usually pasta or chicken, salad, bread, cheese and crackers, and a brownie. For breakfast it's fruit and breads. Not as great as Air France, but very passable.

I had got a cheap deal to Paris from Marseille by Ryan Air. My both ways ticket (To Paris and back) cost me a total of Euros 17.99 including taxes. Shamefully cheap. Although I have taken many flights of Ryan Air before at very cheap prices, none were so cheap. The service was also good.

I booked these tickets about 6 months ago on the internet,they cost about £40 for each,which is good,it saves driving doan the motorway to Heathrow to get to Paris. Cardiff airport is a good easily accessible airport with good roads and facilities,shops and restaurants,mind you,it does get you in the mood for Paris.............Expensive!!!! Leave a Comment

Although Orly has gradually surrendered its status as the city's leading international airport to the ever expanding Charles de Gaulle it is still a busy place. In addition to handling the bulk of French domestic flights and much charter traffic it is still used by more than 30 airlines with medium and long haul schedules. Located south of the city, it has good public transport links but getting there by car involves sampling the joys of the notorious Paris "peripherique" - always a test of nerve. Drivers would be advised to avoid peak time journeys if possible. If you do drive to the airport there is plenty of parking. Catch a train if you can - Orly has its own rail station and is connected to both RER Lines B and C which take you to the heart of the city. There are two terminals. Terminal West houses only seven airlines, with the older Terminal South handlng most of the long haul routes including Air Malta, easyJet, El Al, Swiss and Turkish Airlines. Leave a Comment
