Cheap flights from Glasgow to Paris

October is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar covers every month from September through August, so you can compare the whole year before you commit. Summer and the school holidays push fares up, as do Christmas, New Year and the Easter break; the quieter weeks in late autumn and early winter are where the low fares sit. Midweek departures and Saturday returns usually cost less than Friday evenings and Sundays, when weekend breaks and business travel overlap. Book a few weeks ahead for the shoulder months, and earlier than that if you want a specific October date.

Several carriers sell this route, and they are not all the same kind of ticket. Easyjet, EasyJet Europe and Jet2 are the low-cost names, British Airways and BA CityFlyer are the full-service ones, and Aer Lingus, Emerald Airlines, KLM Cityhopper, Edelweiss Air and Eurowings Discover also show up in the results. Direct flights exist on this route, but some of these itineraries are connections through a hub, so read the flight details before you compare fares. What differs most is what is bundled: low-cost tickets tend to charge separately for a checked bag and a chosen seat, while full-service fares usually include more, so compare the total rather than the headline fare.

Paris has three airports and your ticket decides which one you get. Charles De Gaulle sits north-east of the city and has the quickest rail link into the centre; Orly is south and connects by tram, train and bus; Beauvais Tille is well outside the city to the north and is reached mainly by coach, so the transfer takes far longer than the flight. Check the airport code on your booking before you pay, not after — a Beauvais fare can look cheaper until you add the transfer and the time. From any of them, allow extra time on the way back if you are travelling at rush hour or on a strike day.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Paris airport your fare uses, because Beauvais Tille, Charles De Gaulle and Orly sit in different directions and the transfer into town differs.
• Compare the total with a checked bag added, since low-cost fares on this route sell bags and seats separately.
• If your trip is two separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights in case the first one runs late.
• Make sure your passport and any entry documents for France are valid before you pay.
• Look at October first for the lowest fares of the year, then check the months on either side.
• Confirm your departure airport is Glasgow International, the city's only airport with flights to Paris.
