Average fare from CDG to FCO?
 
I need to purchase a ticket from Paris to Rome for departure at the end of April. I only need a one-way ticket but I understand that the roundtrip fare is cheaper. What is the average airfare price from Paris to Rome that time of year? I found that I can get a roundtrip for $199 on airfrance. Seems like a decent price. Can anyone validate that for me?

Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention that I was originally going to book on volareweb.com but it doesn't seem like a reliable carrier at this time. I found other discount type air carriers don't offer the Paris to Rome route.

Ryanair flies from Beauvais (BVA) to Rome-Ciampino. Fares as low as 19.99 euro + tax, or about 38 euro total, for one-way. Some flights cost more.

But if you want to fly from the main Paris airports, then US$190 round-trip sounds about right.

Volareweb has closed its doors.

Where exactly are these other airports? I heard Beauvais is far out of Paris and I don't really know anything about CIA? I was afraid of getting too far awway from the city and spending hundreds on cabfare back in.

CIA is a "real" airport for Rome, and used by multiple airlines. Not just a Ryanair outpost.

Shuttle bus to Ciampino in Rome for about 8E with www.terravision.it and shuttle bus from Paris Beauvais for 13E www.aeroportbeauvais.com which leaves 20 minutes after each flight arrival.
