Cheap flights from Exeter to Paris

September is the cheapest month on this route, and it is also when Paris is at its most comfortable, with warm days and thinner crowds. Fares climb through October and stay high over Christmas and New Year, then ease again in January. April brings the Easter break and a second wave of demand. Midweek departures, Tuesday and Wednesday especially, tend to undercut Friday and Sunday returns. Book a few weeks ahead for autumn and winter travel, and give yourself more room for April, when connecting seats fill early.

No airline flies Exeter to Paris non-stop, so every itinerary is a connection, and the airline mix reflects that. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Aer Lingus are the full-service names you will see most often, with regional operators such as Emerald Airlines, Aurigny Air Services and Loganair filling in on the first leg. That split matters more than the headline fare: full-service tickets tend to be sold as one booking for the whole journey, while a regional first leg can sit on a separate ticket with its own baggage rules. Check whether a bag is included, whether seats are assigned, and whether a delay on one leg is covered by the other.

Exeter is served by one airport, so the departure side is simple; on the Paris end you have three to weigh up. Charles De Gaulle lies north-east of the city and has a direct rail link into the centre. Orly sits to the south and is reached by rail and coach. Beauvais Tille is much further out, with coach the usual way in, so allow extra time if your itinerary lands you there. Check which airport your booking actually uses before you commit, because the three are not interchangeable and the transfer from Beauvais is the longest.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Confirm which Paris airport your itinerary uses, because Charles De Gaulle, Orly and Beauvais Tille sit in different directions with different transfer times.
• Check the connection time, since a tight change at the hub is where cheap connecting fares usually go wrong.
• See whether both legs are on one ticket or on separate bookings, because separate tickets leave you carrying the risk of a missed connection.
• Read the baggage allowance for the regional airline on your first leg, as it may differ from the long leg.
• Check your passport and the current entry rules for France before you book, not the week you fly.
