Low-cost airline French Bee is helping travelers get to Paris for much less with a flash sale offering flights starting at just $144 one-way or $256 roundtrip.

The sale, which has significant discounts for one-way or roundtrip tickets on a first-come, first-served basis, is available for travel dates in the first half of 2025. French Bee operates flights to its hub at Paris-Orly Airport (ORY) from select major U.S. cities, including Los Angeles (LAX), Newark (EWR), Miami (MIA), and San Francisco (SFO).

Travel + Leisure dug through the fares to find the best round-trip deals to Paris, along with sample travel dates: 

  • Miami (MIA): $256 round-trip from January to February 2025 
  • Newark (EWR): $288 round-trip from January to March 2025
  • Los Angeles (LAX): $580 round-trip from April to May 2025
  • San Francisco (SFO): $500 round-trip from January to March 2025

French Bee also operates flights to the South Pacific, where travelers can snag round-trip tickets to Papeete, Tahiti (PPT) from San Francisco (SFO) for just $558 during this flash sale, valid for wide-open travel dates between January and June 2025.

To score these deals, travelers must book directly on French Bee’s website. By using the airline’s low fare calendar, they can easily view the best flight prices available over the next 12 months.

However, it’s worth noting that all of these discounted fares fall under the airline’s “Bee Light” fare class, which restricts passengers to bring only one personal item that must fit under the seat. Similar to a basic economy ticket, travelers won’t receive a meal onboard and cannot change or cancel their flight for a refund. 

For additional benefits, travelers can upgrade to the “Bee Smart” fare, which includes carry-on bags, checked baggage, and a meal. Alternatively, the “Bee Flex” fare is the most flexible ticket and allows for changes and cancellations without any fees.
