Trains and metro: The RER B from Charles de Gaulle and metro line 14 from Orly are usually the quickest way into the centre, especially at rush hour.
Taxis: Use the official taxi rank outside arrivals. Fixed fares apply between both main airports and central Paris, so check the current fare for the Right Bank or Left Bank before you set off.
Private transfers: A pre-booked transfer takes you straight to your hotel, which can suit families, late arrivals and travellers with a lot of luggage.
If you would like a transfer arranged, ask for available transfer options to be priced alongside your flight or city break quote.
A family trip to Disneyland Paris or a city break for a special occasion can be a big cost to pay in one go. TravelApp UK offers several ways to pay for eligible bookings.
Fly Now Pay Later: Secure your booking with a deposit and pay the balance in agreed instalments before you travel.
Instalment plans: Spread the cost of your flights or holiday over a payment schedule agreed with the team.
Klarna: Pay with Klarna where it is available for your booking, and split the cost into smaller payments.
Payment options depend on the fare, the airline's ticketing rules, the type of booking and how far ahead you travel. Klarna is subject to its own eligibility checks, and missed payments can affect your ability to use Klarna and your credit score. If an instalment is missed, your booking may be cancelled, so make sure the payment dates suit your budget.
The team will confirm the deposit, payment dates and total cost before you book, and the TravelApp booking conditions explain how deposits, payments and cancellations work.
Ask about payment options for your trip.
Flight comparison websites are useful for checking fares, but they usually show a flight-only price. Hold luggage, seat selection and the transfer to your hotel are often added later, either at checkout or in separate bookings. On a short flight to Paris, these extras can be a large share of the total cost.

Delays and cancellations: Strikes and bad weather can disrupt flights to Paris. If you booked your flight and hotel separately, a cancelled flight can leave you dealing with the airline and the hotel on your own. With a package, one organiser is responsible for the whole trip and must help when part of it changes.
ATOL protection: ATOL protection applies to qualifying package holidays and flight-inclusive bookings. It does not cover every standalone flight or hotel. The Civil Aviation Authority explains what ATOL covers. Ask the team whether your booking is ATOL protected before you pay.
Packages: To combine flights, a hotel and transfers, browse holiday packages from the UK or ask the team to price a flight and hotel together for your Paris stay.
Fly midweek. Flights to Paris are often busiest on Fridays and Sundays, when weekend city breakers travel. A midweek trip can give you more choice of flights and hotels.
Avoid the busiest dates. Fares usually rise over school holidays, Christmas markets season and major events in Paris. If you are not tied to these dates, comparing other weeks may give you more options.
Compare Paris airports. A cheaper flight to Beauvais can cost more overall once you add the coach into Paris and the extra travel time. Compare it with Charles de Gaulle and Orly before you book.
Price the full trip. Low-cost fares often include only a small under-seat bag. Check the hand luggage rules for UK airlines, then add hold luggage and your transfer before comparing totals. The best budget airlines for UK travellers can work out differently once seats and bags are added.
Check late availability. Outside school holidays, last-minute flight deals can appear, although they are less reliable at busy times.
Planning around half term or the Christmas holidays? Contact Us and the team can check availability across several dates.
With three Paris airports and more than 15 UK departure points, the right flight depends on where you live, when you can travel, how much luggage you need and where you are staying. A late arrival at Charles de Gaulle is easy if you are staying near Gare du Nord, but less convenient if you land at Beauvais.
To get help comparing the options, send the team your travel details, including:
Departure airport: Your nearest airport, plus any others you would consider.
Dates: Your preferred dates and how flexible they are.
Baggage: How many cabin and hold bags each traveller needs.
Stay: The area of Paris where you are staying, or Disneyland Paris if you are visiting the parks.
Payment: Whether you would like to pay in instalments, with Klarna or with Fly Now Pay Later.
The team will come back with available flights for your dates. Where it suits your trip, they can also suggest hotel and transfer options. What each quote includes, such as hold luggage or transfers, depends on the fare and the options you choose, so check the details before you confirm. TravelApp UK is an ATOL holder, and eligible flight bookings receive an ATOL Certificate.
For a quick question before you send an enquiry, you can also get in touch with the team by phone or email.
Send the team your departure airport, travel dates, number of travellers, baggage needs and accommodation plans. They will quote flights, transfers and hotel options together, with ATOL protection on eligible bookings and instalment, Klarna or Fly Now Pay Later options where available. Fares and seat availability change, so a quote reflects the prices on the day it is issued.
