Cheapest flights from Paris to London?

luckat

I want to do some three-cornered trips - Dublin-Paris-London. It doesn't particularly matter if I go from Dublin to Paris and back from London, or from Dublin to London and back from Paris.

I'm looking for the cheapest way of doing this. Ryanair doesn't seem to fly from London to Paris, so I'd probably fly Ryanair either to or from Paris (or maybe Aer Lingus if it's cheaper).

But what about the London-Paris or Paris-London leg? What's the cheapest way of doing that? Experts?

EasyJet , although that is from Luton?

Remember , when is Paris not Paris .... When you fly Ryanair , the airport they use is 60km from Paris .

It's the same for Luton/Stansted in London , check the train fares before discounting BM/EI .

How about the EuroStar ? .... much nicer than flying thats for sure !

Thanks, Davidth88. I'll take a look at Eurostar, though the last time I took it it was £90 return, eeek.

I quite like Luton; you're right, of course, it's an extra £15 for a one-day travelcard to travel in and out to Luton from London and around the Tube system. And Beauvais, the shuttle takes three hours or something, doesn't it, and it's €8, right?

I actively hate Heathrow - huge, endless walking, impersonal or rude, and actively dangerous (waaaay too many flights per day). Not cracked on Gatwick either.

My ideal would be to fly into and out of London City Airport, but the fares are a deal-breaker there. Not yet a millionaire. Oh, and I don't *think* there are flights from there to Paris?

Blimey, I hadn't checked the prices before I said Eurostar ..... it is expensive isn't it !

LHR isn't that bad ! .. yes there is a LOOOONG walk to the Irish dept gates but dangerous ??

Looks like Easyjet is your best option then , go from CDG to LTN.

Bon Voyage

Apparently you can get cheap tickets on Eurostar, but you have to be ready to pounce.

when i fly to paris, i always use either aerlingus or air france (but one way with air france is out of the question though as their prices go through the roof). flying into or out of beauvais is an absolute nightmare and can cost you a lot of time and often money.

The trouble is that i want to do a three-cornered flight, taking in Dublin, London and Paris.

you could always fly to london or paris using cheapest fare you find, take the eurolines bus between those 2 (it takes about 7 hours and is cheap as chips) and then fly back using cheap fare.

luckat

Tell me more about this Eurolines. I found a website but it doesn't tell me how to book, where the bus goes from and to, etc.

luckat

Oh, wait, found it - but the ticket's £50 (pounds sterling! That's like €70 or something?) My chips are cheaper.

shrapnel222

wow, i thought that would've been the price of a return!!! oh well, it's been a while since i used them but still, i can't see how they can compete against the eurostar at those prices. i just had a quick look, i imagine it must be the dates which make it so expensive as i found them to be £35 sterling so 50 euros which doesn't seem too expensive

luckat

Hah, found the same date Paris-to-London for €39 (euro, not pounds) using eurolines.fr. Much better. And actually, I think that might be a return ticket without the date of return being fixed.
