The short version: Cheap flights from Porto to Paris go nonstop to three airports. Orly has Transavia France, TAP Air Portugal and easyJet, six to ten departures a day between them. Charles de Gaulle has Air France twice a day, and Beauvais has Ryanair two to four times a day. The flight takes about 2 hours 5 to 2 hours 25 minutes, and Paris is one hour ahead of Porto. Checked on 2 November 2026.
Orly is where most of the seats are. Charles de Gaulle makes sense when Paris is not your last stop. Beauvais is the one to price carefully, because the airport is more than an hour from the city.
Orly, Charles de Gaulle or Beauvais: who flies where
| Paris airport | Airlines from Porto | Departures a day, November 2026 | Departure times from Porto | Into central Paris (checked 14 October 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Orly (ORY) | Transavia France, TAP Air Portugal, easyJet | 6 to 10 | 06:15 to 19:35 | Metro line 14, 14 euros, about 25 minutes to Châtelet |
| Charles de Gaulle (CDG) | Air France | 2 | 05:55 and 11:30 | RER B, 14 euros, about 30 to 35 minutes to Gare du Nord |
| Beauvais (BVA) | Ryanair | 2 to 4 | 06:00 to 19:10 | Aérobus coach, 17.90 euros online, about 1 hour 15 minutes to Porte Maillot |
Orly carries the route. Transavia is the biggest airline on it, with five or six flights a day, and TAP adds two and easyJet one or two. In November there were 269 Orly departures listed, so if one flight is full or expensive, there is usually another the same day.
Charles de Gaulle is the connection airport. Air France's two daily flights arrive at Terminal 2F, its main hub, so an onward Air France flight on the same ticket avoids crossing Paris. From 16 March 2027 Terminal 2F is due to be renamed Terminal 6, so newer bookings may show the new name.
Beauvais is Ryanair's. It has flights across the day, but the coach into Paris adds time and cost that the other two airports do not.
Older listings still show some airlines that have left. easyJet's last Porto to Charles de Gaulle flight was on 28 September 2025, Vueling's last Orly flight was on 27 March 2026, and TAP has not flown to Charles de Gaulle since August 2020.
The first flights leave before the first metro
Porto airport is the last stop on metro Line E, the violet line. From central Porto, a single is a Z4 ticket at 2.30 euros, loaded on a reusable Andante card. Metro do Porto's timetable, in force from 7 September 2026, gives these first trains:
| Day | First train from Trindade | Arrives at the airport |
|---|---|---|
| Monday to Friday | 05:58 | 06:29 |
| Saturdays, Sundays and holidays | 06:22 | 06:49 |
Every route's first flight of the day leaves before that: Air France at 05:55, Ryanair at 06:00 and the first Orly flight at 06:15. For any of them, book a taxi or a ride-hailing car, or choose a later departure. Trains then run roughly every 15 minutes until the last one leaves Trindade at 00:37.
Landing in Paris: the clock and the ride into town
Add an hour when you land. Air France's 11:30 departure arrives at about 14:55 Paris time, and the last Orly flight, at 19:35, lands at about 22:50. If you are arriving that late, check the last trains on metro line 14 before you fly, using Paris by Train's Orly guide.
Any train or metro journey from Orly or Charles de Gaulle needs the Paris Région airport ticket, 14 euros full fare, sold on a Navigo Easy card or in the app. A Navigo Jour day pass does not cover the airports. Taxis have had flat fares since 1 February 2026: from Orly, 36 euros to the left bank or 45 to the right bank; from Charles de Gaulle, 56 euros to the right bank or 65 to the left bank. For two people with bags heading to the left bank, the Orly taxi costs only 8 euros more than two airport tickets.
These Paris prices were checked on 14 October 2026 for our Lisbon to Paris guide, which also covers the express buses that replaced the old Roissybus and Orlybus and the CDG Express train due in 2027.
ID, bags and the dates that fill the planes
Portugal and France are both in the Schengen area, so there is normally no passport control. Take a valid passport or your Cartão de Cidadão all the same: police checks at airports are allowed, and a driving licence does not count as a travel document.
Transavia, easyJet and Ryanair usually show the lowest headline prices, but their cheapest fares are built around a small under-seat bag. TAP and Air France sell several fare levels too. Add the bag you need to every option before you compare, and add the Beauvais coach to any Ryanair fare. Best Budget Airlines in Europe shows what each low-cost carrier's cheapest fare includes.
Demand on this route follows the large Portuguese community in France, about 577,000 people born in Portugal according to INSEE figures cited by the French foreign ministry. August, Christmas and French school holidays are when families travel, and Portuguese public holidays such as 1 and 8 December 2026, both Tuesdays, make easy long weekends in Paris. The Lisbon to Paris guide lists the main Paris event dates for 2027.
