 What time of year are tickets to Paris the least expensive? 

I went to Paris in February 2010. My ticket a gift from my inlaws. At that time, my husband and his band were going to Paris to play a few gigs, so the wives went along for the week.

I'd like to go back, but am not sure if there's a time of year when tickets aren't as expensive. I don't have a preference on the time of year (as I mentioned, I went in February and actually enjoyed walking around the city in the chilly, snowy weather, bundled up...was very magical!). Most of the dates I put in to check and see all seem to fall around $950/ticket, regardless of the time of year.

Thank you!

Well there are slower seasons.but there is also supply and demand,, so where are you flying from?? If its a small out of the way place there may never be a cheaper option.

For instance for me to fly from west coast Canada to Halifax (east coast) Canada cost me more then to fly to Paris in july!!! Airline staff told me more people fly to Paris in high season , then ever fly to Halifax,,so supply and demand.

Wow, isn't that interesting! :)

I'd be flying out of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.

From the research I've seen, summer is the high season for Paris, however flights don't seem to be that much cheaper in the winter.

I was just looking through my trip photos and am itching to get back. Although I'm more of a beach/tropical kind of gal in general, I really really loved Paris. It was completely amazing in every way.

Thank you!

I bought my tickets from Melbourne to Paris in January for travel in August in an early bird sale and have saved nearly a $1000! The frustrating thing is I now have a travel partner and am going to have to pay out for a much more expensive fare even though it is only 4 weeks since I booked my cheap fare.

So decide when you want to go and wait for flights to be released and get in early!

Good Luck!

I have always found that they are cheapest whenever I can't/don't want to go.

Lisa M, may I ask which airlines you booked ur flight with and how much were the tickets?

Malaysian Airlines has a sale on now from Melb to CDG a little under $1900 all inclusive. But travel has to be after 4 September, I think.

Forgive me but what does all-inclusive mean when regards to this flight? Are they putting you up for a hotel as well?

All inclusive... Airport tax, etc. Some of the budget airlines/booking sites charge extra booking fees, or charge extra for luggage, etc.

I wish that included accomodation... Lol
