Sample flights

Nonstop flights from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) are around $479. There are cheaper flight options available on other airlines if you want to spend less, but know that they aren’t nonstop.

The price applies to American’s basic economy fare, which allows one free carry-on bag. If you want to check a bag, you must upgrade to the main cabin or fork over an extra $150 for the round trip.

French Bee also offers nonstop flights to Paris from Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR). Flights land at Paris-Orly Airport (ORY) rather than CDG.
