Beauvais is served by Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (BVA), a budget airline airport located about 85 km north of Paris. It functions almost exclusively as a base for Ryanair and other low-cost carriers, offering ultra-cheap arrivals from a wide range of European destinations, but with the trade-off of a long and often costly transfer to central Paris from the airport.
The most frequent and affordable flights to Beauvais are Ryanair's extensive network of European routes arriving at BVA. Key origin destinations include airports across the UK, Ireland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Poland, Morocco, and Eastern Europe with flights to BVA. Examples include London (STN), Dublin (DUB), Rome (CIA), Barcelona (BCN), Porto (OPO), and Warsaw (WMI) arriving into Beauvais. There are no domestic flights from within France or long-haul services to BVA.
The market is overwhelmingly dominated by Ryanair, which operates the vast majority of flights into BVA. Wizz Air and other small low-cost or charter carriers may operate a few additional seasonal routes to Beauvais. There is no service from traditional full-service network airlines arriving at the airport.
To secure the cheapest flights to Beauvais, book Ryanair arrivals into BVA as early as possible when schedules are released (typically 6-9 months in advance) for the lowest introductory fares. Always factor in the cost and time of transfer from BVA to your final destination (a 1.5+ hour bus ride costing ~€17 each way from the airport). Compare the total door-to-door cost and time with flying into Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly (ORY) and taking public transport to your destination. BVA can be a true bargain for point-to-point arrivals to the region or for travelers heading to northern Paris. Flying on weekdays into BVA, especially Tuesdays and Wednesdays, offers the absolute lowest fares.
