How long is the flight from Paris to London?

London is around 213 miles away from Paris, so you’ll be happy to hear that the average flight between Paris and London is just 1 hour and 13 minutes. This could be slightly longer or shorter depending on your flight provider and the weather conditions when you travel.

Even though this is a comparatively short flight, it’s still best to arrive at the airport with plenty of time before your departure. As a general rule, most airports recommend getting there at least two hours before your departure time for flights from Europe, even those as close as France. This leaves you plenty of time to check in, go through airport security, and declare any luggage you might have. A good tip is to check if your airline provider offers online check-in, which will allow you to skip any lengthy queues at the check-in desk.

Don't forget that the time difference between London (British Summer Time, GMT+1) and Paris (Central European Summer Time, GMT+2) is just one hour.

Here is a tip for you to make it easier to plan your holiday: next time book a hotel or flight + hotel in London or book a hotel or flight + hotel in Paris if you have an early flight, a stepover or multi-city flight. If you book your flight + hotel together you can save up to 40% when compared to booking separately and all that's left for you to do is relax and enjoy your trip!
