If we’re being honest, there is never a “bad” time to visit Paris. The museums, the history, the food … it’s all wonderful any time of year. But spring in the French capital is truly special, with mild and pleasant weather and the flowers blooming. It’s also just before tourism really spikes, so lines for the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower should be a bit less onerous.
A new fare deal gives you the chance to experience Paris in the spring. Air France and Delta Air Lines have discounted a number of flights for travel in May and early June. These nonstops are from Los Angeles and New York City, and they represent significant discounts from normal prices. We found some truly incredible values in this sale, as you’ll see below.
This fare sale involves economy-tier tickets. You get a free carry-on bag but can expect to pay around $75 each way to check luggage.

Sample flights
We found wide availability out of Los Angeles in May. Air France has nonstop flights from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) for only $408. According to Google Flights, this route can cost as much as $1,600 at this time of year. So, this is a great deal.
This route is actually even cheaper in early June. Round-trip fares are $406 out of LA, another rare price.
New York City travelers have many options to fly to Paris in May. We found a number of itineraries for $552 round-trip all month, including this April option from John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK). That’s not as big a savings as we found out west, but still nice.
Early May had the best prices when we searched. Here’s a $560 round-trip fare.
