Peak season
Springtime is very popular in the romantic city of Paris, so it is often considered peak season in the French capital. Increased flight costs and larger crowds come with that appeal, but this also extends to autumn time as well, to experience Paris culture book flights to Paris during September to November, these are the months when Parisiens have returned to the city after their own holidays to make it, well, more Parisien.
Off season
Paris gets rather cold during the winter months between November and March, which arguably adds to its charm and makes it even more memorable as a holiday destination. For this reason, it gets fewer tourists and has its off season during this time, so you’re most likely to get cheap flights to Paris in winter. That does not apply to Christmastime, however, as tourists flock to the French capital to enjoy a quintessentially French festive break.
Flybe, SAS, Emirates, Lufthansa and KLM all operate in and out of Paris, amongst many other major airlines from all over the world. Paris is one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, so its flight tickets are often subject to price wars between airlines.

The French capital has two main airports: Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG), which is the largest in France and Orly Airport (ORY), which is also international, but serves the majority of domestic flights that comes in and out of Paris.
Named after the former French president, Charles de Gaulle Airport is France’s largest international airport. Distance to the city centre is 16 miles (23km) north-east of Paris.
You can get between CDG and Paris for around €10 with a journey time of approximately 35 minutes. The bus and coach provide plentiful alternatives for travel between CDG and the city or, indeed, CDG and Orly airport. Fares start at €2 and go up to €21, depending on your final destination.
If you are going to Disneyland Paris, there is a Magical Shuttle that runs from Charles de Gaulle straight to the theme park.
Getting between terminals of Charles de Gaulle Airport: free shuttles N1 and N2 run different routes throughout the terminals in public spaces and are by far the easiest way to get around in Charles de Gaulle.
If you are connecting flights there, there are five colour-coded shuttles that can help you get directly to the correct terminal: green, blue, yellow, red and orange. Be sure to check ahead of your journey to find out which one you will need according to your flights.
