You can fly nonstop to Paris for under $300 roundtrip from the East Coast and under $400 from the West Coast on legacy airlines like Air France, American, Delta, and United.
Most of these fares have been sticking around lately, but we've noticed some big price drops from West Coast cities—some even have some travel dates available around Christmas or for summer travel.
Travel Availability
All of these routes have travel dates available between late October and early April. A few routes also have availability for travel in August, September, and May, or fares may only be slightly higher in those months.
While peak holiday travel is blacked out for most routes. We do see some itineraries from San Jose (SJC) and Oakland (OAK) pricing this low on a few dates for a reasonable week-long trip over Christmas. Most routes are also available for a New Year's trip if you stay through the first week of January.
A 7-night stay is required on all routes.
