Cheap flights from Ponta Delgada to Paris

Book well ahead if you want the lowest fare, then look toward November, which usually brings the lowest fares on this route. December, the summer months and school holidays tend to push prices up, while the shoulder weeks outside them are often easier. Weekday departures can also help, because the weekend rush is usually stronger on a leisure route like this. The fare calendar runs from November through September, so compare a few dates on either side of your preferred week rather than fixing on one day.

The real difference a traveller feels is between a bundled network fare and a no-frills ticket, not just the name on the tail. Transavia Airlines and Smart Wings sit at the low-cost end, where a cheap base fare can grow once bags, seats and priority boarding are added. TAP Portugal, SATA Azores Airlines, SATA Air Acores, Lufthansa, Edelweiss Air, Iberia and United Airlines are the other listed carriers, and their fares more often include a checked bag and a degree of flexibility. Direct flights are available on this route, but not every airline flies it non-stop, so check whether your chosen itinerary changes planes before you pay.

You may land at Charles De Gaulle, Orly or Beauvais Tille, and they sit at very different distances from central Paris. Charles De Gaulle and Orly are the main city airports, with rail and bus links into town, while Beauvais Tille is much farther out and usually means a coach transfer. Check which airport your booking names before you plan your onward journey, because a late arrival at the outer airport can change your options. If you are connecting onward, allow time for the transfer between terminals or airports, and confirm the last service into the city.
