What To Know About Paris To Sardinia Flights

Which airlines fly from Paris to Sardinia?

  • Ryanair flies from Paris Beauvais to Olbia Costa Smeralda and to Cagliari Elmas
  • Transavia flies from Paris Orly to Olbia Costa Smeralda and to Cagliari Elmas
  • Easyjet flies from Paris Orly to Olbia Costa Smeralda

How long are the flights from Paris to Sardinia?

One of your questions may be “how long is a flight from Paris to Sardinia?”

The duration of flights from Paris to Sardinia varies depending on the airports of departure and the Sardinian arrival airport, but it is usually around two hours long – if it’s a direct flight, of course. In the case of a non–direct flight, the length of the trip may increase considerably, depending on the layovers.

How much is a flight from Paris to Sardinia?

Another great question and once again no straightforward answer.

The cost of the flights varies depending on the airline and type of flight. You can find cheap low-cost options for a few euros, where whatever comfort you may want comes at an additional price (including carry-on luggage other than a small personal item).

Or you can spoil yourself and book a normal flight with every comfort you can think of.

Prices also vary a lot with season, with the peak summer months being inevitably more expensive. There are plenty of choices!

Where do Paris to Sardinia flights land?

Of the three Sardinian airports, direct flights from Paris to Sardinia land in Cagliari Elmas and in Olbia Costa Smeralda. There are no direct flight options to Alghero Fertilia.

Cagliari Elmas

Cagliari Elmas is the airport of the capital city of Sardinia. It’s the most trafficked airport all year round and is connected to a large number of cities, both Italian and European.

Cagliari Elmas Airport gets busier during the summer, because Cagliari (which can be reached by train via the airport’s station) is located in an excellent area, nearby stunning beaches, and ancient ruins.

You can find the schedule and prices of flights from Paris to Cagliari on the Omio App.

Check out my post How To Get To Cagliari From The Airport for more information on how to reach the city center from the airport.

Olbia Costa Smeralda

Olbia Costa Smeralda is the second most important airport in Sardinia, though it is the busiest Sardinian airport during the summer months. Olbia is literally a few minutes’ drive from the airport and is the gateway to many beautiful places to visit in the area.

You can find the schedule and prices of flights from Paris to Olbia on the Omio App.

Read my post How To Get From Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport To The City to discover how to make your way from the airport to the city and beyond.

Alghero Fertilia

Alghero is a Catalan city on the North-Western side of Sardinia. It is a nice place to visit, quite different from all the other cities on the island.

Its airport is not the most crowded, but it still serves a good amount of cities and people, especially the tourists aiming for a holiday in the area. However, if you want to fly to Alghero, you won’t have the choice of a direct flight.

You can find the schedule and prices of flights from Paris to Alghero on the Omio App – once again, let me remind you these won’t be direct flights.

Head over to my post How To Get From Alghero Fertilia Airport To The City Center for information on how to get from the airport to the historic center of Alghero.

Where do Paris to Sardinia flights depart from?

Charles de Gaulle Airport

Charles de Gaulle is the biggest and busiest airport in France. It serves pretty much all European capitals and many minor cities, and it’s the airport where the biggest number of international flights depart from and to.

Traveling to Paris? My post How To Get From CDG To Paris explains how to reach the city from the airport.

Paris Orly Airport

Orly was the biggest airport in France before the opening of Charles de Gaulle airport and is now the second busiest airport in the nation and the second international hub in the country. It’s located about 13 kilometers (8 miles) from Paris.

Beauvais Airport

Beauvais – Tillé Airport is located a bit farther from Paris (85 km or 52.8 miles) but it’s still a very important hub for charter and low-cost airlines. Sometimes you can find pretty good deals to fly to and from Beauvais (that’s where I normally fly to), and getting to Paris doesn’t take that much either: that’s why I included it on this list.
