Beauvais marketed as “Paris” is a coach ride. If a quote uses BVA we will write the airport name in full. If another site did not, that is their problem.
CDG
Terminal 2 is a campus, not a room. 2E/2F connections for Air France/SkyTeam can be efficient; 2A/2C to 2E with checked bags is where published minimum connection times lie. We prefer not to ticket self-connects that rely on you collecting bags and re-checking with a low-cost carrier downstairs.
Orly
ORY is often the right arrival if you are staying south of the river or connecting onto French domestic. Long-haul into Orly exists but is thinner. Tell us the arrondissement or the train you need to catch; it changes the airport more often than people expect.
Strikes and summer
French ATC and airport industrial action is seasonal folklore because it keeps happening. We cannot promise a day will be clean. What we can do is avoid 45-minute connections through CDG in weeks when notices are already out.
What to send besides the airports
Arrondissement or hotel arrondissement is enough. “Left Bank, arriving evening” steers us toward Orly more often than a generic Paris search. If you are joining a train to Lyon, Bordeaux or Brussels the same day, put the train time in the first reply — a CDG inbound that looks fine on paper can miss a 14:00 TGV once immigration queues are real.
Open-jaw France is a normal first trip: CDG in, Nice or Lyon out, or Paris in and Barcelona or Rome out. Price that as one itinerary so bags and delay protection follow you. Two internet specials on separate tickets are how people explain themselves to a gate agent in Terminal 2E.
Sample amounts on the homepage
The Paris card shows a struck USD 4,280 against a sample USD 2,790. That pair is an offer-style illustration for a typical business-cabin round trip, not a live CDG fare. Use the form on this page for dates that actually exist.
Cabin and fare type
This page is the city briefing. Cabin still has to be chosen: economy class or business class. Sample amounts on the homepage are illustrations in USD, not a live Paris inventory. After a ticket is issued, the airline’s fare rules control changes — not this note.
