Your guide to booking Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Paris flights

  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 7 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 13% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Paris trip for January. Fares historically average $557 round-trip in that month - typically $564 less than the most expensive month, which is June (based on the last 12 months).
  • If arriving on time is high on your priority list, American Airlines is the strongest pick on this route. 75% of American Airlines flights from Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport to Paris arrived on time in the past 3 months, slightly above the route's average on-time arrival rate of 66%. When flights on this route do arrive late, the average delay is 3 hours 1 minute, so choosing a carrier with strong on-time performance can make a difference on tight schedules.
  • If you have the time, taking a 1-stop flight through Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson Airport (ATL) can be cheaper than flying direct. The cheapest layover option averages $445 round-trip on this route - about $458 less than direct flights (based on the last 12 months).
  • Although Chicago has two airports, Chicago Midway International Airport (MDW) and O’Hare International Airport (ORD), you will board your flight at ORD, as it is the only Chicago airport that offers flights to Paris. On the date you’re scheduled to fly to Paris, you should reach ORD at least 2h before your flight. This will allow you enough time to beat the traffic you’ll encounter when entering the airport and going through the airport’s security checkpoints.
  • If you intend to travel to ORD from downtown Chicago via a public transportation means, the means you settle on will be determined by how fast you want to travel and how much you’re willing to part with. If you’d like to travel quickly, you should board a taxi, while to travel cheaply, you should board a bus. However, if you’d like to balance cost and speed, it’s in your best interest to board one of the trains that serve this route.
  • In case you have an early morning flight to Paris from ORD, you should consider staying overnight at the airport’s on-site accommodation, Hilton Chicago O’Hare Airport Hotel. Located across from Terminal 2, this hotel features comfortable rooms. As it boasts hospitable staff, you’ll enjoy unmatched customer care while residing in this hotel.
  • In Paris, you’ll land at either Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly Airport (ORY). When booking your flight to Paris, you should book one that lands at ORY, as it is closer to Paris city center and has less passenger traffic than CDG.
  • If you land at CDG, you should check out the various art exhibitions at this airport. In Terminal 1, there is an art exhibition in Hall L, while in Terminal 2E, there are art exhibitions in Hall M and Espace Musée.
