Cheap Flights Palma to Paris: Island Life to the Seine

Compare live Palma–Paris fares on TopTravelCentre →

Cheap flights from Palma to Paris are a classic island-to-capital route, flown hard by low-cost airlines courting both tourists and Parisians escaping to Mallorca. Round trips regularly start at €50–120 outside the summer peak. Demand is extremely seasonal, so run your dates through TopTravelCentre early — the same route can triple in price between May and July.

Flight time and routing

Directs cover about 1,000 km in roughly 1 hour 55 minutes. Connections via Barcelona or Madrid make little sense on a route this dense — they add 3+ hours and rarely save money. Treat it as direct-only.

Airports on both ends

Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is 8 km east of the city — a short, cheap bus ride (Line 1) or taxi. It’s one of Spain’s busiest in summer, so arrive early: check-in and security queues lengthen dramatically in July and August.

In Paris, Palma flights arrive at Orly (ORY) or Charles de Gaulle (CDG), and some low-cost carriers use Beauvais (BVA). Orly is closest to the centre (Orlyval plus RER B, or tram T7); CDG connects by RER B in about 35–50 minutes; Beauvais is 85 km away with a shuttle taking over an hour — a Beauvais fare must be dramatically cheaper to be worth it. Check your ticket’s airport code before booking anything else.

Best time to fly cheap to Paris

January–February: the cheapest window; Palma’s winter calm meets Paris at its emptiest.
March–April: fares climb with spring half-term holidays in France.
May–June: excellent months, prices moderate before the summer wall.
July–August: peak. The route is full of holiday traffic in both directions; book two months ahead or pay.
September–October: Paris at its best, fares easing steadily.
November–December: low fares outside Christmas; the city’s lights are the payoff.

February is usually the cheapest month. Midweek flights — especially Tuesday and Wednesday — beat weekends by a clear margin.

Money-saving tips that work on this route

Book summer flights 6–8 weeks out minimum. Island routes fill first in July–August.
Do the Beauvais math. Shuttle plus time plus distance: it’s only worth it for a big fare gap.
Match your Paris airport to your accommodation. Orly for the Left Bank and the south, CDG for the north and east — the wrong choice costs an hour of metro.
Mix one-ways. Out on Vueling, back on Transavia — different airlines’ cheapest days often don’t align.
Hand luggage only. On a sub-2-hour flight, checked bags are the most expensive kilos you’ll ever buy.

What to do once you land

Paris rewards the unhurried: the Seine at dusk, Montmartre in the early morning, a market street picnic that beats any restaurant budget. Book the Louvre and Eiffel Tower online in advance, and use the metro’s carnet or Navigo Easy rather than single tickets. The free views — from the Sacré-Cœur steps or the Pont Alexandre III — outdo several paid ones.

Getting around once you land

Paris from Orly: the Orlyval shuttle connects to RER B at Antony, reaching central Paris in about 35 minutes total. From CDG, RER B runs straight to Châtelet–Les Halles and Gare du Nord. Load a Navigo Easy card and top it with a carnet of t+ tickets — each covers metro, RER within Paris, and bus rides, with transfers allowed. Avoid taxis at rush hour; the metro will beat them almost any time of day. Walking remains the best way to see the centre: the Louvre to Notre-Dame along the Seine takes twenty minutes and costs nothing.

A quick note on timing your city break

Paris in February is a different city from Paris in July: museums without shuffling crowds, restaurant reservations on short notice, and hotel rates at their annual floor. Combine that with the cheapest airfares of the year and a winter city break from Palma becomes one of Europe’s best-value trips. If you need warmth with your culture, aim for late September or early October instead — the light on the Seine is famously at its best.
