How cheap are Paris to Lisbon flights right now?
This is one of the most competitive air corridors in Western Europe, and the prices show it. In 2026, expect one-way fares of €19 to €45 in the low season (November to March) and €40 to €90 at the summer peak (June to August). Shoulder-season round trips often land between €50 and €100 all-in.
Because five carriers compete head to head, a single bad search can cost you double. The trick is to compare them all at once rather than checking airline sites one by one. Want the full menu of routes and seasonal deals? Browse our flights category for more European bargains.
When to fly: the cheapest months at a glance
Timing is the single biggest lever on this route. A €19 January fare and a €120 Christmas fare are the same flight booked at different times. Here is the month-by-month picture.
| Month | Typical one-way fare | Why |
|---|---|---|
| January | €19 to €30 | Post-holiday slump, aggressive sales |
| February | €19 to €30 | Lowest demand of the year |
| March | €25 to €45 | Climbing toward Easter |
| April | €30 to €50 | Easter spike |
| May | €35 to €55 | Best value: warm, uncrowded |
| June | €50 to €80 | Peak begins |
| July | €60 to €100 | Most expensive |
| August | €60 to €100 | Books out fastest |
| September | €35 to €55 | Crowds thin, weather holds |
| October | €25 to €45 | Mild autumn, low prices |
| November | €19 to €30 | Among the year’s cheapest |
| December | €25 to €120 | Cheap early, spikes at Christmas |
The standout months are January, February and November for raw price, and May and September if you want warm weather without the summer markup. Lisbon rarely drops below 12°C even in winter, so a €25 February escape buys you a genuinely pleasant city break.
Which airline should you book?
Five airlines fly Paris to Lisbon nonstop, and the right one depends entirely on whether you are chasing the lowest fare or a roomier seat. Here is the honest comparison.
| Airline | From | Base one-way | Cabin bag | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transavia | Orly | from €19 | 10kg included | Lowest fares, light packers |
| easyJet | CDG | from €22 | Small bag only | Frequent CDG departures |
| Vueling | CDG | from €25 | Personal item only | All-in when you need a checked bag |
| TAP Air Portugal | ORY & CDG | from €39 | Included | Onward connections, miles |
| Air France | CDG | from €55 | 12kg + snacks | Comfort, Flying Blue miles |
Transavia, the low-cost arm of Air France-KLM, is the price leader. Flying from Orly, its base fare drops to €19 during flash sales, with a 10kg cabin bag included. Checked luggage, seats and meals are paid extras, so it shines for a carry-on-only weekend.
TAP Air Portugal is the flag carrier and the most frequent operator, flying from both Orly and CDG. Base fares start near €39, but as a Star Alliance member it lets you earn miles and connect onward to Brazil, Africa and the Azores through its Lisbon hub.
easyJet and Vueling both fly from CDG with rock-bottom base fares, but watch the bag rules: Vueling’s Basic fare includes only a personal item, so even a standard carry-on needs the Optima upgrade. Air France is the splurge at €55 to €70, with a 12kg bag, snacks and a roomier cabin that genuinely earns its price when the summer gap narrows.
CDG or Orly: which Paris airport saves you more?
The airport you pick changes both your fare and your travel time across the city.
Paris Orly (ORY) is the cheaper, closer choice. It is the home base for Transavia and TAP on this route, just 13km south of central Paris, and reachable by Orlybus, Tram T7 or the Metro line 14 extension. It is smaller and faster to move through than CDG.
Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) hosts easyJet, Vueling and Air France, plus some TAP services. It sits 25km northeast of the centre (RER B, 35 minutes from Châtelet, or a €56 flat-rate taxi) and makes sense if you are connecting from a long-haul flight.
The verdict: if price is everything, start with Orly, where Transavia and TAP routinely undercut CDG carriers by €10 to €20. If you want maximum airline choice or a specific schedule, CDG wins. Either way, search “Paris (all airports)” so both compete in one list.

Seven tips that consistently cut the fare
- Fly Tuesday or Wednesday. Midweek departures beat Friday and Sunday by €15 to €30 on this route.
- Search plus or minus three days. Shifting one day around a holiday weekend can halve the price.
- Set a price alert. Fares here swing fast; an alert catches flash sales the moment they drop.
- Pack carry-on only. Transavia, easyJet and Vueling charge €15 to €40 per checked bag. A 10kg bag is plenty for a Lisbon weekend.
- Compare Orly and CDG separately. Booking direct for one airport sometimes surfaces web-only fares aggregators miss.
- Book 4 to 8 weeks out. Too early and nothing is discounted yet; too late and prices turn erratic.
- Skip connections. Direct beats routing through Barcelona or Madrid on both price and hours saved.
Get online the moment you land
Lisbon’s hills and tiled alleys are made for wandering, but you will want maps, Bolt rides and ferry times the second you step off the plane. Skip the airport SIM queue and the roaming surcharge: a travel eSIM activates before you leave Paris and connects automatically on landing.
- Activate before you fly — data works on arrival
- Plans for 200+ countries from a few dollars
- Keep your number; no physical SIM swap
It is the cheapest way to stay online across Portugal, and you can extend the same plan if you push on to Porto or the Algarve. For longer trips, our eSIM guide breaks down the best data plans by country.
