Dubrovnik is a summer-season favourite from Paris, and for most of the year you can fly non-stop in a little over two hours. Air France and Croatia Airlines serve it from Charles de Gaulle while Transavia flies from Orly, mainly between spring and early autumn; outside the season you connect once. This guide covers who flies the route, a fair return fare in euros, and when to book.
Route: Paris (CDG / ORY) → Dubrovnik (DBV)
Distance: approximately 1,420 km (880 miles)
Non-stop flight time: about 2h 10m – 2h 20m
Direct flights: Yes, seasonally — Air France and Croatia Airlines fly non-stop from CDG, and Transavia from Orly, roughly April–October. In winter the nonstops thin out and most itineraries connect once (via Zagreb, Frankfurt or Munich).
Fares from Paris to Dubrovnik (EUR)
Dubrovnik is heavily seasonal: fares peak in July and August, ease in the May–June and September shoulder, and drop in winter — though winter usually means a connection rather than a nonstop. The table below shows when the route is busiest. We no longer print per-month fare estimates here, because they were never measured.
| Month | Demand |
|---|---|
| January | low (connections) |
| February | low (connections) |
| March | low |
| April | medium (season starts) |
| May | medium-high |
| June | high |
| July | very high |
| August | very high |
| September | high |
| October | medium (season ends) |
| November | low (connections) |
| December | low-medium |
Reference points from our own deal tracking: a genuinely good return lands around €60–€90 (usually a Transavia nonstop from Orly booked well ahead), a typical fair price is roughly €130–€170, and anything under about €110 in season is worth booking quickly.
Airlines on this route
Non-stop (about 2¼ hours, mainly April–October):
- Air France — seasonal non-stop from CDG on a regional Embraer jet; full-service with a checked bag on standard fares.
- Croatia Airlines — the flag carrier, non-stop from CDG in summer; also the main option for year-round connections via Zagreb.
- Transavia — low-cost non-stop from Orly; usually the cheapest headline fare, but check bag and seat add-ons.
One-stop (year-round, and often cheaper off-season):
- Croatia Airlines via Zagreb — the natural connection when nonstops aren’t running.
- Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich, and other European carriers via their hubs — the reliable winter routings when Dubrovnik’s nonstops pause.
When to book & how to save
- Book 2–4 months ahead for summer — Dubrovnik is a small airport with limited seats, and July/August fares climb fast.
- Travel in the shoulder season (May–June, September): warm weather, swimmable sea, thinner crowds and noticeably lower fares than peak.
- Be flexible on Paris airport: Orly (Transavia) is often the cheapest, while CDG has Air France and Croatia Airlines.
- Compare all-in prices with bags: the low-cost nonstop fare can lose its edge once you add a checked bag — the full-service carriers usually include one.
- Mind the season: a “cheap” winter fare is often a one-stop; if you want the two-hour nonstop, travel between April and October.
Arriving in Dubrovnik
Flights land at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), about 20 km southeast of the Old Town near Cavtat. There’s no train; the usual options are the airport shuttle bus that meets flights and runs to the Pile Gate and main bus station (around 30–40 minutes, roughly €10), or a taxi (about €35–€45 to the Old Town). In peak summer, allow extra time for traffic along the coastal road.
