Bring snacks! Might also want to bring a seat cushion. Spend lots of time thinking about how happy you are that you got a cheap ticket!
IvanFlew with Air France-Aug 2024
Use the self-check-in kiosk if you have a few check-in items. You can also ask for them to check your carry-on bags if you don't absolutely need to have them with you. Always be kind to the agents, they have stressful jobs and a little kindness goes a long way.

Pack light, a carry on is perfect for a week in Paris and you’ll save time by not waiting for your baggage. Also Orly airport is not as busy and has convenient transportation to all places

  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 4 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 16% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Los Angeles to Paris trip for February. Fares historically average $1,063 return in that month – typically $797 less than the most expensive month, which is December (based on the last 12 months).

When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h 53m, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.

  • When flying to Paris, you have three airports to choose from as your destination. Paris Charles de Gaulle is easily accessible from most of Paris by buses, RER trains, and shuttle services.
