Flying Venice to Paris- which airline?
 
We travel in late May via Bangkok to Milan where after a few days we will train it to Verona for a couple of days then on to Venice .After about a week and attending the Art Biennale we go to Paris for 2 weeks . We want to fly from Venice direct to Paris . I recall seeing some threads here a little while ago about low cost carriers and some commentary / reservations about them .
The options of which I am aware are :-
1. Ryan Air - cheap but looking at its web site it only flies in to Beauvais and late at night on 11 June ,which is the day we must arrive in Paris, leaving us to get in to the city by minivan service or the like as taxis will be around 150 euro's
2. AirFrance which ,according to our travel agent, will require buying a return fare and ditching the return at a cost of about 3 or 4 times that of Ryan Air .
Anyone done this before ? Who did you fly with ? Any other suggestions please. JF

Hi John - Neither of the above. The best option is usually MyAir, which flies Venice-Orly.

Fares start at around € 50 incl taxes.

Hope this helps ...

Thank you both very much . Have either of you flown with them ? If so did you find them OK ?

No personal experience I'm afraid, John.

I know others here have used them, so hopefully someone else will post ...

No experience of Myair but given the main alternative is a trip to "Paris" Beauvais, I can't see how it's worse
