The most competitive fares on the Ottawa–Paris route appear during the spring shoulder season (April to May) and early fall (September to October), avoiding summer peak and Christmas holiday surcharges.

Key carriers on this route include Air Canada and Air France. Depending on your choice of airline and fare class, you'll experience connections via Montreal (YUL) or Toronto (YYZ). Total journey time including any connections runs approximately 8 to 11 hours.

Which airports are used for flights from Ottawa to Paris?

Your flight departs from Ottawa Macdonald–Cartier International Airport (YOW). You will land at Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in France. We recommend arriving at the departure terminal at least 2.5–3 hours before your scheduled international departure.

Is $640 CAD a competitive price for this route?
