Paris-Beauvais Airport Transportation (2021)
ABOVE: Budget-airline passengers board a bus for Beauvais-Tillé Airport at Porte Maillot in Paris.
Beauvais Tillé
Airport (BVA), also known as
Paris-Beauvais Airport, is the Parisian gateway for several budget airlines--among them,
Ryanair and
Wizzair. The airport is
located 2 km northeast of Beauvais, approximately 80 km or 53 miles northwest of
Paris. Here's how to reach Paris from BVA:
Travel time is about 75 minutes.
To Paris: Buy your ticket in
the arrivals hall, at
the kiosk outside the airport, or
online. The bus will take
you to the coach parking lot just north of the Hotel Concorde-La Fayette at
Porte Maillot, across the street from the Palais des Congrès or Paris Convention
Center. From the parking lot, you can walk a short distance to the
Porte Maillot station of Métro Line 1 or the
Neuilly-Porte Maillot station of RER
Line "C."
ABOVE: On the map above, the Porte Maillot bus
station is in the fan-shaped parking lot just to the left of the Palais des
Congrès, where you can read the letters "Bd."

Across the street, you'll see a coach parking lot. Walk to the corner and cross at the light.
If you haven't purchased a ticket online, buy your ticket at the booth in
the parking lot or, if it's closed, from the driver.
Try to arrive at least 3 hours 15 minutes before your flight time--or
even earlier, to be certain of getting on a bus.
Tip: Consider
spending a night or two in Beauvais and using the train for travel to or
from Paris. The town is pleasant and has a world-class cathedral. Beauvais
Airport Shuttle runs vans and minibuses between Beauvais and Paris
hotels. It also offers service to Charles de Gaulle Airport and
Disneyland Paris. Rates are quite a bit higher than what you'd pay for the airport
bus. (Private shuttles are available for groups and spendthrifts.) You can hire a cab from Beauvais into Paris for
€100-160, depending on your hotel's location and
whether you're traveling in the daytime or after dark. But then, if you could
afford a €100-160 cab ride, you probably wouldn't be flying on a budget airline. For more
information on BVA and ground transportation, visit the airport's official Web
site at aeroportbeauvais.com
and especially its
airport bus page. Europe's No. 1 hotel site, Booking.com,
has a good selection of places to stay near the airport. If you're traveling with a family, or if you're staying more
than a day or two, consider a short-term vacation rental. For listings, see: (Booking.com and Airbnb are our affiliate partners. We use both
regularly in our own travels.) See our illustrated how-to article about
Beauvais-Tillé Airport Bus
Line 6, which provides frequent and inexpensive service between the
airport and downtown Beauvais. Read Paris -
Beauvais / Beauvais - Paris by Train for information about the
convenient SNCF rail service between Beauvais and Paris Gard du Nord.
(Trains run at least 15 times per day, and the average journey takes 1
hour 21 minutes.) Don't miss our illustrated

sightseeing, shopping, and other topics. |
