Checked against every return fare on sale as we write: the cheapest is €54 on Ryanair from Beauvais, and the market medians €62 — so around €60 is the going rate, not a find, and the "typical" three-figure price often quoted for this route is roughly double what people actually pay. Ryanair runs €54–€72, easyJet from Orly €88–€91, and Air France from Charles de Gaulle €115–€131. Anything under €60 is a genuinely good price. The very cheapest fares are hand-baggage-only, and Beauvais adds a coach transfer — count both before comparing with Orly.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 2¼ hours):
- Air France — nonstop from Charles de Gaulle, the most frequent service (around 23 flights a week) and the easiest for onward connections.
- easyJet — nonstop from Orly, usually the cheapest headline fares; bags and seats cost extra.
- Transavia — nonstop from Orly, Air France–KLM’s low-cost arm; competitive fares with paid extras.
There is little reason to take a connecting flight on such a short route — nonstop is faster and usually no more expensive. The real choice is airport and price: Orly’s low-cost flights win on fare, while Charles de Gaulle suits anyone connecting from a long-haul arrival.
When to book & how to save
- Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the best short-haul fares; last-minute prices to Naples rarely improve, especially in summer.
- Avoid July and August if you can — the Amalfi Coast and Capri season pushes fares and crowds to their peak. May, June and September offer great weather for less.
- Travel midweek: Tuesday and Wednesday departures are typically cheaper than a Friday–Sunday trip.
- Compare the all-in price: a low-cost fare from Orly can end up close to Air France once you add a checked bag and a seat, so total the extras before booking.
- Be flexible on Paris airport — Orly has the cheap low-cost flights, but Charles de Gaulle can price well when Air France runs a sale.
Arriving in Naples
All flights land at Naples International (NAP), also called Capodichino, unusually close to the city just 6 km northeast of the centre. The easiest way in is the Alibus shuttle to Piazza Garibaldi (the central station) and the port, taking around 15–25 minutes for about €5. A taxi to the historic centre runs a fixed fare of roughly €18–25. From the central station you can pick up the Circumvesuviana train for Pompeii, Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.
