Flights to Paris from the U.S. are becoming more accessible thanks to French bee airline. This week, the airline announced its new route from Miami to Paris Orly, starting in December 2022.
French bee is the first smart-cost long-haul airline in France. This non-stop route from Miami to Paris will be the fourth U.S. route for the airline. The airline made its first arrival in the U.S. market in 2018 with flights from San Francisco (SFO) to Paris and Tahiti. In the past year, French bee has launched routes from Los Angeles (LAX) and New York (EWR).
Marc Rochet, President at French bee says, “Paris remains one of the most desired international destinations in the world for South Floridians and with the continued growth that Miami is witnessing, we are confident that this is the best market for our first Southeast route. We are excited about this expansion as we know that passengers will find value in booking competitive prices in the market.”
