Paris is one of the top city in the world for number of tourists. If you want to be one of them and getting there with dirt cheap airline tickets some advice written here will be useful.

I bet you already know the most important tips to follow when you want to spend less money on airplane tickets: plan in advance, or be ready to jump on a plane at the very last minute, try to avoid big companies and main airports, concentrate your efforts on smaller companies and secondary airports, avoid peak period of the year and of the week… and so on.

Paris is no exception and if you follow these tips you should be able to get some good bargain.

Here i want to talk and give some advice about both the airports and the low cost companies that can do well when one is searching for dirt cheap airline tickets to Paris.

Low cost airline companies operating to Paris have their hubs in 3 airports: Paris De Gaulle, Paris Orly and Paris Beauvais. Be aware that while the first two are very near the center of Paris, Beauvais is located 105 Km away from the city, so consider an extra expense for the trip from there to the center of Paris.

Charles De Gaulle airport, or Roissy as the french call it, is the first French and one on the top european and world airport. Even so a lot of dirt cheap airline tickets companies operate there, so it is a good choice both for the services it can gives and for trying not to spend too much on airfares.

Orly was the first french airport before the construction of CDG, but today it stays in the first spot for internal traffic.

Paris Beauvais is mostly operated by low cost airline companies so chances are that you will have to get there if you want to save money. To get to Paris from Beauvais, you must be ready to spend 13 euros (more or less) and to do a bus travel that will last more than an hour. Still it could be a good bargain to choose a company that operates on this distant airport.

There are really a lot of low cost airline companies offering dirt cheap airline tickets to and from Paris.

I will try to mention as much as i can, but maybe i will leave some out.

Let’s start with one of the biggest competitors in the european arena: easyJet operates a lot routes connecting Newcastle, Liverpool and Belfast to Paris CDG. easyJet also operates on Paris Orly to the spanish cities of Madrid and Barcelona. Also Milan, Pisa and Naples in Italy, Geneva in Switzerland and Berlin in Germany are connected to Paris from and to Paris Orly.

The second operator offering dirt cheap airline tickets to Paris is Jet2, a company based in the UK, that connects Leeds to Paris CDG.

If you want to fly Paris to and from Italy you should consider Meridiana that is a low fare Italian airline connecting Paris to Naples, a big south of Italy city, this company also connects the sicilian cities of Catania and Palermo to France’s capital. Another italian low cost airline company is MyAir that has only one flight but from two of the most beatiful towns in the world, the route Venice-Paris is something to do!

Maybe less fascinating but always a cheap airline ticket can be purchased from another one Italian company: On Air connects the center of Italy, Pescara, to Paris for few bucks.

Let’s leave Italy and take note of Sky Europe that links Paris to Warsaw and Krakow in Poland, to Budapest in Hungary and to Bratislava airport in Slovakia. Also in central Europe operates a Czech low cost airline called Smart Wings that offers dirt cheap airline tickets to Paris from Prague.

Just one more airline company before the end of part one of this post: GermanWings, a fairly big low cost company flies from Paris to Cologne and Bonn.

This is all for now about going to Paris with dirt cheap airline tickets
