Air France Resumes 3 U.S. Routes

March 27, 2022, will see the return of nonstop flights between Paris Orly (ORY) and New York (JFK).

The daily flight is programmed with the following schedule:

Depart Paris (ORY) 3:10 p.m. — Arrive New York (JFK) 5:45 p.m.
Depart New York (JFK) 7:50 p.m. — Arrive Paris (ORY) 9:30 a.m. (+1)

Hot Tip: Paris Orly (ORY) is the French capital’s second-largest airport. It mainly serves leisure routes and sees more low-cost airlines than full-service carriers. Paris’ regional rail service — the RER — departs to the airport every 15 minutes and takes around 35 minutes.

Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) will also restart on March 27, 2022.

Air France will face direct competition with American Airlines on this route.

American operates the route daily, while Air France has 5 flights per week scheduled on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays at the following times:

Depart Paris (CDG) 10:10 a.m. — Arrive Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) 1:35 p.m.
