What airport should I arrive to?

For the Half-day Program in Paris, you should arrive to either Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) or Orly International Airport. This program does not include an airport pick-up so you will make your own way to your accommodation by taxi, public transit or airport shuttle.

When should I arrive/depart?

Your course starts first thing on Monday morning so you should plan to arrive in Paris no later than Sunday. Your course finishes on Friday at 12:00 PM so you can depart any time after that.  For flights from the US/Canada this means leaving the US/Canada the night before your intended arrival day (for example: leaving on a Saturday and flying overnight for a Sunday morning arrival in Europe/France).

How can I get to Paris from the US/Canada?

There are numerous direct flights between the US/Canada and Paris CDG. Here is a partial list of airlines (this list is by no means comprehensive so check with your travel agent for additional options):

Air Canada

Air France

American Airlines

Continental Airlines

Delta Airlines

Lufthansa

Northwest Airlines

There are also numerous indirect flights between the US/Canada and Paris CDG & Orly international airports. We suggest you contact your travel agent for options.
