Fares from Paris to Tangier (EUR)
Tangier is a spring-to-autumn favourite, and fares track the seasons and the Moroccan holiday calendar. Summer (July–August), Easter and the period around Eid draw the most demand and the highest prices, especially from the large Franco-Moroccan community; late autumn and winter are the cheapest. The figures below are typical economy return fares in euros — the low-cost carriers set the floor, and a light hand-baggage-only fare can be cheaper still.
| Month | Typical return (economy) | Demand |
|---|---|---|
| January | €70 – €150 | low |
| February | €80 – €170 | low-medium (half-term) |
| March | €80 – €170 | medium |
| April | €110 – €210 | medium-high (Easter) |
| May | €90 – €180 | medium |
| June | €100 – €190 | medium-high |
| July | €150 – €280 | very high (summer) |
| August | €150 – €280 | very high (summer) |
| September | €90 – €180 | medium |
| October | €80 – €160 | low-medium |
| November | €70 – €150 | low |
| December | €100 – €210 | medium-high (holidays) |
Reference points from our own deal tracking: a genuinely good return lands around €60–€90, a typical fair price is roughly €130–€190, and anything under about €100 is worth booking quickly. One-way low-cost fares can dip to €40–€50 outside the summer.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 2¾ hours):
- Transavia — nonstop from Paris Orly; frequent, and often the best-value option with a good baggage add-on.
- Royal Air Maroc — nonstop from Paris Orly; Morocco’s full-service flag carrier, usually with a checked bag included.
- Ryanair — nonstop from Paris Beauvais; the cheapest headline fares, but Beauvais is well outside the city, so factor in the coach transfer.
- Air Arabia Maroc — a low-cost option on the route, with both nonstop and connecting services depending on the day.
With several carriers competing on a short route, fares stay low outside the summer. Choose Transavia or Royal Air Maroc from Orly for convenience, or Ryanair from Beauvais if the very lowest fare matters more than the airport.
When to book & how to save
- Book 4–10 weeks ahead for the best low-cost fares; prices climb sharply for the summer and Easter peaks as they sell out.
- Avoid July and August if you can — peak Moroccan-diaspora travel makes these the busiest and most expensive weeks by far.
- Travel in the shoulder months (late September–November, or February–March) for warm-enough weather and the lowest prices.
- Watch the airport: Orly is far more convenient than Beauvais, which needs a paid coach transfer of over an hour — a cheaper Ryanair fare can lose its edge once you add that in.
- Check baggage carefully: the low-cost fares are hand-baggage-only, so add a checked bag if you need one and compare the all-in price against Royal Air Maroc.
Arriving in Tangier
Flights land at Tangier Ibn Battouta Airport (TNG), about 12 km southwest of the city. There is no train from the airport; the usual options are a grand taxi (agree the fare first, roughly 150–250 dirham, about €14–€24, more at night) or a pre-booked hotel transfer. Morocco uses the dirham (MAD), which you can’t easily get outside the country, so plan to withdraw cash on arrival or pay the taxi in small euros by agreement.
