The promotion covers flights from Paris to 45 destinations including Barcelona, Rome, Athens, Lisbon and Prague. Economy fares start at EUR 49 one-way while business class begins at EUR 189. The airline added 2,800 extra flights during the period to meet expected demand.
Revenue management data showed softer bookings for shoulder season prompting the aggressive pricing. The carrier is also offering free date changes up to 48 hours before departure on these fares. Codeshare partner Delta will promote the deals to its US customers for connections via Paris.
Background reveals Air France has competed directly with Ryanair and easyJet on short-haul since 2024 by matching frequencies at secondary airports. The current campaign targets leisure travelers who traditionally book later in the year. Load factors on these routes averaged 78 percent last fall.
What this means for you
Book before July 15 and select the flexible fare option for EUR 15 extra to allow free changes. Combine with train connections from Paris CDG to reach smaller cities not served directly. Avoid peak Friday and Sunday flights as they sell out fastest even at reduced prices.
US travelers can add the Europe segment to transatlantic tickets for seamless connections. Check baggage allowances carefully as the lowest fares include only carry-on.
