Paris Getting There
Airport
Most flights from the U.S. touch down at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) airport, 16 miles northeast of Paris, while a few (mostly connecting flights through European cities) land at Orly airport (ORY), 10 miles south of the city.Airlines
Major U.S. carriers such as American, Continental, Delta, and United operate nonstop and connecting service to Paris. International airlines like Air France and British Airways (via its London hub) offer frequent service to the city. British Airways’ subsidiary OpenSkies offers nonstop all-business class flights to Paris from New York and Washington, D.C., sometimes for less than twice the price of coach. Fully flat “Biz Bed” seats are also available in a separate cabin for only a few hundred dollars more.Flight Times
