Cheap flights from Inverness to Paris

October is the cheapest month to fly from Inverness to Paris, and the weeks either side of it sit close behind. Summer is the busiest and priciest stretch, especially during the school holidays, when Highland families head south and the city fills with visitors. Spring and autumn are quieter and easier to book late. If you can move your dates, fly midweek: Tuesday and Wednesday departures usually cost less than Friday or Sunday. Book a few weeks ahead for summer and the Christmas run-up; outside those windows you can often leave it later.

No airline flies Inverness to Paris nonstop, so every ticket involves a connection. Easyjet is the low-cost option on the route, and its fares are built up from extras, so read what is included before you choose. British Airways and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines are full-service carriers, and their connections usually run through their own hubs. Aer Lingus and Emerald Airlines take you via Ireland, while Loganair Limited covers Highland legs and feeds into larger carriers. Which one suits you depends on how much time you are willing to spend in transit.

Paris has three airports and your ticket decides which one you get. Charles De Gaulle sits north of the city and has the widest choice of trains and buses into the centre. Orly is closer to the southern edge, and its links into town are quick once you are through arrivals. Beauvais Tille is the outlier: it is well outside Paris and the transfer in is usually by coach, so allow far more time. Check the airport on your booking before you commit, especially if you are connecting onward or arriving late, because the three are not interchangeable.

• Check which Paris airport your fare lands at, since Beauvais Tille is much further out than Charles De Gaulle or Orly.
• Look at the connection time on your itinerary, because every Inverness departure involves a change.
• Read the baggage rules on the low-cost fare before you add a hold bag at the airport.
• Make sure both legs are on one ticket if you want protection when a delay makes you miss the connection.
• Confirm your passport and any entry requirements for France are valid well before departure.
