Arrival: Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) and getting into Paris

Arrival is at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Paris is served by Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) about 25 km north-east of the centre and Orly (ORY) about 14 km south, with Beauvais far to the north; the Seine divides the Right Bank of the Louvre, Champs-Élysées and Montmartre from the Left Bank of the Eiffel Tower, Saint-Germain and the Latin Quarter, and Disneyland Paris lies about 40 km east of the city. We provide airport transfers in Paris with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.

Many passengers continue from Paris to somewhere else. We provide those tickets too, so one WhatsApp conversation covers the whole itinerary.

Baggage rules differ by airline and fare; children and infants have their own allowances. Tell us who is flying and what you are carrying and we choose accordingly.

• Adding baggage at booking is cheaper than at the airport - we add it for you
• Seat selection free or paid depending on the carrier; families seated together on request
• Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
• Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request

Flying with children, families and groups from Ottawa to Paris

Families fly the Ottawa to Paris route with us week in, week out. Infants under two travel on a lap at a small fare; children have a seat and a child fare where the airline offers one; pushchairs are checked free at the gate on most airlines. We seat the family together, order children's meals where they exist and choose a departure time that suits nap and bedtime. For groups, we book the seats in one reservation and ask the carrier for a group fare where the numbers justify it.

Things to do in Paris when you land

Best time to fly from Ottawa to Paris

Flights from Ottawa to Paris run all year, several connections a day. Spring and early autumn are the loveliest; July and August are busy and warm, December brings the lights and markets, and the A1 from CDG and the A6 from Orly are slowest on weekday mornings and Friday evenings. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.

Return flight from Paris to Ottawa

The Paris to Ottawa flight is the same route in reverse, about 9 hours 30 minutes. Haqqi Tours offers the return ticket in the same conversation; if you are not yet sure of the return date, we can book a flexible outbound or wait, and explain which is cheaper.

How much is a flight from Ottawa to Paris?

"How much is the Ottawa to Paris flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours provides the current cost for your date in a few minutes of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the e-ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.

Cheapest flight from Ottawa to Paris: how to pay less

A cheap Ottawa to Paris flight ticket is rarely luck. It is the right airline, the right day and the right fare class - which is what we check for you:

• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which frequently carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
• Ask about infant and child fares and about group bookings for four or more

When you fill out the form, mention if you can move your dates. We scan the fares around them and send the cheapest Ottawa to Paris flight first, then the alternatives.

The easiest way to book a flight from Ottawa to Paris is to let a person do it. The form asks for the essentials; the details - a window seat, an infant, extra baggage, a wheelchair, a special meal - you tell us by WhatsApp when we message you to confirm. We provide the ticket in your name, remind you of the check-in rules of that airline and stay reachable while you travel.

• Step 1 - send the form: date, one-way or return, adults and children, class
• Step 2 - we message you on WhatsApp with the flights, the baggage included and the cost
• Step 3 - you confirm the flight you prefer and we arrange payment in the same chat
• Step 4 - we issue the e-ticket and send it; we stay in touch until you land in Paris

Because a person books it, we can do what a booking site does not: seat a family together, choose the fare with the right bag, add an infant correctly, line up the Ottawa to Paris flight with a transfer from your hotel to Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW) and a driver waiting at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).

Airlines flying from Ottawa to Paris

Air Canada flies the Ottawa to Paris route, with a connection in Montreal or Toronto. They differ in baggage rules, seat pitch, meals and the airports they use as much as in price, so the cheapest fare is not always the best value. Haqqi Tours lays the options out plainly: which fare includes a checked bag, which airline flies at the time you want, and which is the better choice for a family or a business trip.

Departure: Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW)

Flights from Ottawa to Paris leave from Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport (YOW), serving Ottawa - ottawa is Canada's capital, with Parliament Hill, the Rideau Canal and a string of national museums. Plan to be at the airport about two hours before an international departure and ninety minutes before a domestic one; earlier at peak times.
