Passengers looking for direct flights to France will find numerous options available. You can also fly non-stop from London Heathrow with British Airways. Flights on these routes will land at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris. UK passengers do not need a visa to enter France. However, you will need to have a valid UK passport before you travel.
If you plan to stay in France for more than 90 days, you will also need to apply for a long-stay visa. If you plan to explore the south of France during your trip, you can fly cheaply from the UK to Nice or Marseilles. You can also fly to Nice from Birmingham in around 6h with Brussels Airlines.
Landing at either Nice or Marseilles will put you just a short drive from the French Riviera. Most airports in France have excellent public transport facilities. If you arrive at a smaller French airport, like Rennes or Brest, taxis are a convenient and affordable option. However, if you land at an airport in a major city like Paris, you may face long waits for taxis. Taking the Paris metro, therefore, will usually be faster and more affordable. Stopover locations depend on the airline you fly with, as many will transfer at a hub airport.
If you need to stay in touch with loved ones, you can look for an airline that provides you with access to the internet. For instance, British Airways and Air France offer internet to passengers, which comes at an extra cost. Ryanair on the other hand does not offer internet as part of its services. There are several airlines that offer frequent and direct services to France from their hub airports. Flying from these airports means you are likely to find cheaper flights for your journey.
However, if you want checked luggage, this will cost extra. If you fly with Ryanair on a flight from Stansted Airport STN to France, you will not get any luggage included in the basic ticket cost, just a small bag which must be able to fit under the seat. If you are flying to Nantes during Hellfest, which is a popular open air rock festival that takes place each year in June, you should be aware that the flight prices are likely to be more expensive.
