Here's how you can get to Paris cheaply! All ways to fly to the capital of France on a budget from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Minsk, Riga and a number of other cities.
Traditionally, we consider ways of how to fly to the desired city, using both classic airlines and low-cost airlines... In the first case, it is worth using the search engines for cheap flights Aviasales and Skyscanner (it is best to compare both at once), in the second option it is almost always more profitable to buy tickets on the websites of the low-cost airlines themselves.

How to get to Paris from the regions
It will not be possible to fly cheaply to Paris from the regions - this enterprise is extremely costly: low-cost airlines do not reach here, competition among carriers is low, and airlines shamelessly take advantage of the fact that residents of Russian cities far from the capital have nowhere to go. So, the cost of a ticket for the Ekaterinburg-Paris flight of Turkish Airlines is about 15 thousand rubles! At the same time, the transplant takes 1 day - it is convenient for those who want to visit Istanbul (and he definitely deserves it - read about how to get from the airport to the center of Istanbul).
Finnair has a similar price. It is more expensive to fly with Aeroflot - the price starts from 17-18 thousand rubles, and with AirFrance - from 18 thousand. AirBerlin also flies, albeit with two transfers - in Moscow and Berlin, moreover, for 18 thousand rubles.
From Novosibirsk to fly to the capital of France is even more expensive - the cheapest ticket can be found from Turkish Airlines (19-20 thousand rubles) with a change in Istanbul a day long. Prices for Aeroflot tickets start at 21 thousand rubles, AirFrance - from 22-23 thousand rubles.
How to get to Paris from Minsk
You can fly to Paris cheaply from Minsk. The lowest prices are with AirBaltic (from 180-190 euros). Belavia's Minsk-Paris flights cost from 240 euros, while Lufthansa has the same prices. You can also fly to the capital of France from Minsk by Polish airlines LOT (from 260-270 euros) and City Line (from 280 euros).
We remind you once again: the best way to search for flights to the above-mentioned destinations is on Skyscanner and Aviasales metasearch engines - they compare prices among different airlines and booking agencies and find the best option. Be sure to use the price calendar in these ticket search services - by shifting the departure / arrival dates by a day or two, it is much easier to catch the coveted air ticket at the lowest cost. Have a good hunting!
Low-cost airlines in Paris
The best way to get to Paris cheaply is fly by low-cost airlines... But, alas, this option is not suitable for everyone - in order to travel super cheaply, you need to live near the European border (Kaliningrad wins the most, Minsk residents are also very lucky!), Because tickets at the lowest price are for flights from European cities. For Russians living in the west of the country, it is convenient to travel to Europe through Finland and the Baltic countries - we wrote about this method in detail here.
From Vilnius to Paris, you can buy a ticket for a direct Ryanair flight for 1891 rubles. Take a look at the two screenshots below. As mentioned above, if you fly with low-cost airlines, then in most cases it is more profitable to buy tickets on the official websites of the airlines themselves. But sometimes there are exceptions. Here is one of them: the search engine Aviasales found tickets at a lower price (1,891 rubles) than they are offered to buy on the official website of the airline (2,207 rubles). The departure dates and times are the same. Yes, that happens from time to time, so it never hurts to go to Skyscanner and Aviasales to check the price there.
Also, from Vilnius, the same airline can fly to Paris with a six-hour transfer in Milan - sometimes such a flight can be even cheaper than flying directly to Paris. Ryanair flies not to Milan itself, but to the small old town of Bergamo - in case of a change, you can either walk there or go to Milan by train. The price of a ticket from Vilnius to Paris with a change in Milan (Bergamo) and back is 60 euros.
In addition to Ryanair, it is quite cheap to fly from Vilnius to Paris and back by Air Lituanica aircraft - for 92 euros. And in times of good promotions, this flight can be even cheaper!
You can also fly to Paris cheaply with the help of Wizz Air - you can spend only 55 euros on a Riga-Paris-Riga ticket.
AirBaltic offers similar tickets at a higher price - the cost of a direct flight ticket is about 100 euros.
For those who wish to see the capital of Norway, there is a Ryanair flight Riga-Paris-Riga with an almost eight-hour transfer to Oslo. Tickets cost 95 euros, but you still have to spend a lot to get from the airport to the city itself - prices in Scandinavian countries bite.
And finally - a couple of options on how to cheaply fly to Paris from Finland... You can fly to Paris from Lappeenranta on board Ryanair for 100-120 euros: there is no direct flight, you need to fly with transfers - in Milan and Dusseldorf.
In addition, Norwegian flies from Helsinki to Paris - tickets can be found for only 110 euros. You can also fly from the capital of Finland for 150 euros (Norwegian + Vueling) with a ten-hour transfer in Rome - a great opportunity for those who are not averse to visiting the Eternal City too.
And another option for a low-cost flight to the capital of France with a departure directly from Russia: EasyJet can take you to Paris from Moscow (with a stopover in London) for 140 euros. A flight by the same airlines, but with a departure from Kaunas, usually costs around 150 euros.
