About Paris, France

Paris delivers the Louvre, café-lined boulevards, and iconic skyline in one compact, elegant city. Spring and fall bring the best weather and lower fares from NYC.

Direct service to Paris-Charles de Gaulle is easy to find from New York, with the eastbound flight averaging about seven and a half hours. Air France, Delta, United, American and low-cost operators like French Bee and Norse regularly fly the corridor out of JFK and Newark. For better value, target April, May or October, when demand softens compared with peak summer. France is inside the Schengen Area, so keep your passport valid well beyond your stay and be ready for the upcoming ETIAS travel authorization. Fares can differ noticeably between JFK and EWR, so it pays to check both.

Top things to do in Paris:

•Louvre & Musée d'Orsay
•Eiffel Tower & Seine walks
•Le Marais cafés & patisseries

Which NYC airport for Paris?

Paris is 3,630 miles from New York. LaGuardia handles almost no long-haul international flying, so realistic nonstops leave from JFK and Newark (EWR). Checking both is worth it: JFK carries the widest international network while Newark is United's transatlantic and long-haul hub, and the two frequently differ by $100 or more on the same dates.

How to get the cheapest fare to Paris

1Book roughly 3-5 months ahead — that is the window that fits a 3,630-mile long-haul route like Paris, not the generic "book on a Tuesday" advice.
2Search JFK and Newark (EWR) separately. LaGuardia cannot serve this route nonstop, so a LGA-inclusive "all airports" search mostly returns connections.
3Target January (modelled around $500) and avoid October (around $694) if your dates can move.
4Flights to Paris are eastbound overnights that land in the morning. A departure timed to land mid-morning local costs the same as one landing at dawn and saves you a wasted first day.
5Price the trip in both directions before booking. Long-haul round trips out of New York are frequently cheaper than two one-ways, which is the opposite of how domestic pricing usually works.
6Check whether your fare includes a checked bag. On transatlantic and long-haul routes the cheapest bucket is often a basic-economy fare where a bag costs $75+ each way.

Sorted a ride in Paris from the airport?
