Why Beauvais needs planning
Beauvais-Tillé sits about 85 kilometres north of Paris and is the only one of the three Paris airports outside the Île-de-France region. Allow 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 45 on the A16, and more on a Friday evening.
The low-cost carriers operating there schedule many flights very early or very late — precisely when public transport is not running. A 6:30am departure means being at the airport by 4:30am, so leaving Paris around three in the morning.
At €2 per kilometre the journey comes to about €170. It is the most expensive of the three airport transfers simply because it is the longest. The price is confirmed before you book and does not change, whatever the hour of departure.
