Update:

The offer mentioned below has expired and is no longer available.

Scrap the usual spring break destinations this year and head to Paris instead.

From just $802 round-trip, you can pack your luggage with as many baguettes, cheese, and wine as you can handle and visit the City of Light.

These premium economy flights are with the French low-cost carrier, French Bee.

Here are the details and how to book for yourself.

Fare Deal — Details

These super low-cost fares are only available for travel in May. The good news is that visiting Paris during the shoulder season and steering clear of the peak summer travel period would likely result in a more relaxed and comfortable experience.

Even though French Bee is a low-cost carrier, the experience you get in premium economy is very similar (if not better in some aspects) to what you’d find flying full-service carriers like American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, or United Airlines.

The on-board catering is excellent, the wine selection is good, and the comfy seats have a generous recline.

Passengers are also entitled to 2 checked bags weighing 23 kilograms (50 pounds) each. That’s more than enough allowance to bring back with you all the goodies you purchased on the Champs Elysées.

  • Class: Premium Economy
  • Routes: Newark (EWR) to Paris (ORY)
  • Dates: May 2025
  • Rates: $802 round-trip

The fares are available on select dates throughout May, such as this option departing on Saturday, May 3, and returning on Wednesday, May 7.

Best Ways To Book

We found these fares using Google Flights‘ handy ‘Explore’ tool. Once you’ve found the dates that suit you best, you can follow the link directly to French Bee’s website.

When possible, we advise booking directly with the airline when booking cash fares like these.

Booking directly via the airline — rather than a third party or an online travel agency (OTA) — is a surefire way to get the best possible customer service should you need help from the airline or encounter any disruption to your journey.

Once you’re ready to purchase, we recommend using a travel credit card. There are plenty to choose from, and they come with many added perks and benefits, including bonus points when booking travel.

Hot Tip:

Make your trip even more premium by visiting a lounge for free before your flight!

Final Thoughts

Thanks to French Bee, we found the cheapest way to fly to Paris in premium economy. Best of all, its premium economy offering is surprisingly comfortable for transatlantic flights. If you can make the May dates work for this deal, you’ll enjoy Paris with fewer crowds and more pleasant weather.
