Prices are indicative, shown in AUD and refreshed from provider APIs where available. Always confirm the final price on the provider's site - it is the price that applies. We may earn a commission if you buy through our links, which never changes what you pay. A row labelled "Featured partner" holds a paid position at the top of the table. Partners are listed before providers who pay us nothing, as our terms set out; sorting by price ignores all of that and orders on the number alone. How we make money.

When Australians fly to France
July is the busiest month for Australian trips to France and March the quietest, across 160,470 trips a year. The peak is when fares and accommodation cost most and when the cheaper insurance and eSIM options sell out first, so a trip that can move a few weeks either side of it is a trip that costs less.

If you are not flying out of Perth
The international leg is rarely the problem. The domestic flight that gets you to it is: Canberra to Sydney is cancelled 5.3% of the time against a national average of 1.9%. Book both legs on one ticket and a missed connection is the airline's to fix. On separate tickets it is yours, and the international fare is the expensive half.

France flights FAQs
How much is a flight to France from Australia?
The cheapest return fare to France seen in the week to 18 October 2026 was A$1,370 from Sydney, one stop, departing November 2026. Across the 31 fares seen in the week to 18 October 2026, the cheapest from each city were Sydney A$1,370, Perth A$1,957. These are fares that were seen, not fares guaranteed to still be available.
When is the cheapest month to fly to France?
Of the 4 months with fares on record in the week to 18 October 2026, November 2026 was cheapest at A$1,370 return and January 2027 dearest at A$2,259 - a difference of A$889. Australian demand for France peaks in July, so the months either side of it are usually where the cheaper fares are. Fares move daily, so treat this as the shape of the year rather than a promise about any one date.
Can you fly direct to France from Australia?
Yes. Perth and Sydney all fly there direct. The busiest route is Perth to Paris, carrying 33,139 passengers a year. Figures are from the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics.
Should I book my domestic connection to Perth on the same ticket as my France flight?
Yes, wherever you can. Kalgoorlie to Perth is cancelled 2.4% of the time against a national average of 1.9%, and on one ticket a missed connection is the airline's to fix - they rebook you onto the next flight to France. On separate tickets the international fare is your loss. If the legs have to be separate, fly into Perth the night before.
