Cheap flights from Nottingham to Paris

May is the cheapest month on this route, and spring is a good window: the city is busy but not yet in high summer. Fares are published for September through January, then March, April and May, so late winter and early spring give you the widest choice. Midweek departures from East Midlands tend to cost less than Friday and Sunday flights, and school holidays in both countries push prices up. Book a few weeks ahead for spring and summer travel; for the quieter months, waiting a little longer rarely hurts.

Jet2, Loganair Limited and Aer Lingus all appear on this route, and they are not the same kind of airline. Jet2 is a low-cost carrier, so the fare covers your seat and a small cabin bag, with checked luggage and seat choice charged on top. Aer Lingus is a full-service carrier, where a cabin bag is included and tickets are often sold in bundles with a checked bag. Loganair Limited is a regional operator, which usually means smaller aircraft and a tighter timetable. Direct flights exist between East Midlands and Paris, but not every fare on sale is nonstop, so read whether your ticket is a direct flight or a connection before you pay.

Paris has three airports and they are not interchangeable. Charles De Gaulle sits north-east of the city and has its own rail station, so trains and buses run straight into the centre. Orly is south of the city, with a shuttle rail link to the main line plus buses and a tram. Beauvais Tille is the furthest out, well beyond the city, and the usual way in is a coach that meets the arriving flights. Check which airport your fare uses before you book ground transport, and leave extra time if you land at Beauvais Tille and your onward plans are in central Paris.

• Check that your departure airport is East Midlands, since that is the only airport serving this route from Nottingham.
• Look at what the fare includes for baggage, because low-cost tickets usually charge for a checked bag.
• If your ticket is a connection rather than a direct flight, check both legs sit on one booking.
• Confirm which Paris airport you land at, as Charles De Gaulle, Orly and Beauvais Tille need different journeys into town.
• Have the right travel documents for France ready before you book, and check they are valid for your dates.
• Compare May fares with the other months on the price calendar, since May is the cheapest month on this route.
