Cheap flights from Leeds to Paris

December is the cheapest month we track on this route, so if your dates are flexible, aim for the run-up to Christmas rather than the summer peak. Fares are shown right across the year, from September through to August, and they move with school breaks, half-term and Easter. Midweek departures tend to cost less than Friday evenings and Sunday returns, which is when weekend trips fill up. Winter is quieter in Paris, while spring and early summer are the busiest. Book a few weeks ahead for a winter trip, and much earlier if you are tied to school holidays.

Jet2 and easyJet are the low-cost carriers listed on this route, and their fares cover the seat only, with cabin bag size, checked baggage and seat selection as paid extras. KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and its KLM Cityhopper partner, Aer Lingus, Scandinavian Airlines and Emerald Airlines are full-service, so a cabin bag is normally included and connections through their hubs are common. Sun Express is a leisure carrier that usually means a stop rather than a direct hop, and Accesrail appears where part of the journey is by train. If a low fare matters more than luggage, the low-cost names win; if you want one ticket with bags and a protected connection, the full-service options are simpler.

Paris has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Charles De Gaulle is the largest, north-east of the city, with suburban rail and express train links into the centre. Orly sits south of Paris and connects by an automated metro line and buses. Beauvais Tille is much further out, north of the city, and the usual way in is a coach to the western edge of Paris, so budget extra time on the ground. Check your ticket before you book, because a cheap fare into Beauvais can cost you more in time than a slightly higher fare into Charles De Gaulle. Arriving late, look up the last train and coach times before you commit.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check which Paris airport your fare uses, because Beauvais Tille sits much further from the centre than Charles De Gaulle or Orly.
• Confirm what your low-cost ticket includes, since cabin bag size, checked baggage and seat choice are usually paid extras.
• If your trip is built from separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights, because a missed connection is not protected.
• Carry a valid passport and check the entry rules for France before you book, including any visa you may need.
• Book early for school holidays and the Christmas and New Year period, when fares on this route climb.
• Compare the total cost with bags added rather than the headline fare alone.
