Good to know

French Bee & Norse undercut

Low-cost long-haul carriers from EWR and JFK regularly beat legacy fares by $100–200 – just add bags before comparing.

January and November are golden

Post-holiday January and pre-Thanksgiving November are the cheapest windows – and Paris museums are blissfully quiet.

CDG vs. Orly

Almost all U.S. nonstops land at CDG. French Bee uses Orly (ORY), which is actually closer to the city center.

Frequently asked questions

How much is a flight from the U.S. to Paris?

From New York, off-season round trips are typically $400–550; summer peak runs $800–1,100. From LAX or SFO expect $550–700 off-season. Booking 2–5 months out usually catches the best fares.

Is French Bee reliable for transatlantic flights?

Yes – French Bee flies new A350s from Newark and Los Angeles to Paris-Orly. The base fare excludes bags and meals, so compare the total price. On many dates it still wins by a wide margin.

What's the best time to visit Paris?

For low fares and short museum lines: January–February and November. For weather-plus-value: April–May and late September. July–August is peak pricing and many locals leave the city.
