Paris to Venice is a quick hour-and-forty-minute hop, and one of the best-value short-haul routes out of Paris. Between a full-service carrier and the low-cost airlines you can genuinely fly return for the price of a nice dinner — checking every fare on sale, the median return is €44. There is a catch worth knowing before you book: almost every cheap fare goes from Beauvais, about 85 km north of Paris, to Treviso, about 30 km from Venice. This guide covers who really flies the route non-stop, which airports you actually use, what a return costs in euros, and how to book the cheapest seats.
Route: Paris (CDG / ORY) → Venice Marco Polo (VCE)
Distance: approximately 1,010 km (630 miles)
Non-stop flight time: about 1h 35m – 1h 45m
Direct flights: Yes — Air France flies non-stop from Charles de Gaulle into Marco Polo (VCE) at €111–€122, and easyJet and Transavia fly non-stop from Orly. The cheap fares are a different trip: in our data Ryanair carries almost all of them at €38–€64, flying Beauvais (BVA) to Treviso (TSF) — roughly an hour and a quarter by coach from central Paris, and about 40 minutes by bus from Venice. Budget for both transfers before you compare.
Fares from Paris to Venice (EUR)
Venice is a year-round city break, but fares climb around Carnival (February), Easter, the summer peak and the film festival in early September. Winter (outside Carnival and Christmas) and the quieter shoulder weeks bring the cheapest fares. The figures below are typical economy return fares; the very lowest are low-cost “hand-baggage-only” tickets, so add a bag if you need one.
| Month | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| January | — | low |
| February | — | medium-high (Carnival) |
| March | — | medium |
| April | — | medium-high (Easter) |
| May | — | medium-high |
| June | — | high |
| July | — | high (summer) |
| August | — | high |
| September | — | high (film festival) |
| October | — | medium |
| November | — | low |
| December | — | medium (Christmas) |
Checked against every return fare on sale as we write, the low-cost fares sit at €38–€64 return with a median of €44. So a good return lands around €45–€65 — that band is right, but it is the ordinary price rather than a find, and under about €42 is a genuinely good one. Those fares are hand-baggage only and use Beauvais and Treviso, not Paris and Venice proper. Air France from CDG into Marco Polo runs €111–€122 with a bag included and no transfers to budget for — on this route that is often the better value once you add it all up.
Airlines on this route
Every option here is non-stop — a connection makes no sense on a 90-minute flight:
- Air France — the most frequent, several non-stops a day from Charles de Gaulle; full-service with a checked bag on most fares.
- easyJet — low-cost non-stop from Orly and Charles de Gaulle; usually the widest low-cost schedule and often the cheapest.
- Transavia — low-cost non-stop from Paris-Orly on selected days; competitive lead fares, with bags and seats charged as extras.
The low-cost carriers usually set the headline price, while Air France is worth comparing on an all-in basis if you need a checked bag or a fuller service. Volotea, which flies several other French–Italian routes, does not currently operate Paris–Venice non-stop.
When to book & how to save
- Book 3–8 weeks ahead for the best low-cost fares; short-haul prices to Venice tend to rise, not fall, as the date nears.
- Avoid Carnival (February), Easter and the summer peak, when fares and crowds are highest — and the September film festival for the same reason.
- Travel in winter or the shoulder weeks (November, January, late October) for the lowest fares and far fewer tourists.
- Check Orly first. The cheapest deals on this route are often out of Orly with easyJet or Transavia.
- Watch the bag rules. Low-cost lead fares are hand-baggage-only; add a cabin or checked bag before comparing with Air France’s all-in price.
Arriving in Venice
Non-stops land at Venice Marco Polo (VCE), on the mainland about 13 km north of the historic centre. The most memorable way in is the Alilaguna water bus straight across the lagoon to San Marco and the main islands (around 60–90 minutes, roughly €15). Faster and cheaper to Piazzale Roma — the edge of the car-free old city — are the ATVO or ACTV airport buses (about 20–25 minutes, around €10). A water taxi is quicker and door-to-door but expensive. If a low-cost ticket instead uses Treviso (TSF), it’s about 40 km out with a bus link to Venice — check which airport your fare uses.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the flight from Paris to Venice?
Non-stop flights take about 1 hour 35 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. Every scheduled service between Paris and Venice is direct, so there’s no faster or slower routing to weigh up — just pick the airport and time that suit you.
Are there direct flights from Paris to Venice?
Yes. Air France flies non-stop from Charles de Gaulle, and easyJet and Transavia fly non-stop from Orly (easyJet also from CDG). There are several non-stops a day, so you rarely need to consider a connection on this route.
How much does it cost to fly from Paris to Venice?
There are two clear tiers. Low-cost returns ran €38–€64 across the dates we could price, median €44, mostly Beauvais to Treviso. Air France from CDG into Marco Polo ran €111–€122. Summer, Carnival and Easter push the low-cost tier toward its upper end and beyond.
What is the cheapest month to fly from Paris to Venice?
November, January and late October are usually the cheapest. In the dates we could price, low-cost returns started at €38. Avoid February’s Carnival, Easter, the summer peak and the early-September film festival, which are the busiest and most expensive.
Which airlines fly from Paris to Venice?
Ryanair carries the great majority of the cheap fares at €38–€64, flying Beauvais to Treviso rather than the main airports. Air France (Charles de Gaulle to Marco Polo) runs €111–€122 with baggage included, and easyJet (Orly and CDG) and Transavia (Orly) also fly non-stop, though only one easyJet fare appeared among the cheapest when we checked. Volotea does not currently fly this route non-stop.
Which airport do I fly into in Venice?
You normally arrive at Venice Marco Polo (VCE), 13 km from the historic centre, with water-bus and coach links into the city. Some low-cost tickets use Treviso (TSF), about 40 km away with a bus transfer — check your ticket, as the two airports are on opposite sides of Venice.
How far in advance should I book Paris to Venice flights?
Aim for 3 to 8 weeks ahead for the best low-cost fares. Short-haul prices to Venice generally climb as the date approaches, especially for weekends, Carnival, Easter and the summer months, so booking early on this route pays off.
Is it cheaper to fly on weekdays?
Usually, yes — midweek departures (Tuesday to Thursday) are typically cheaper than Friday-to-Sunday city-break flights, and avoiding the weekend can save €20–€50 on a return. Flexibility of a day or two is the easiest way to cut the fare.
