Jan 2027 is currently the lowest month we've seen
Our October 27, 2026 snapshot priced a December 11 to 18 round trip at $914 per person with United, with 1 stop and a listed journey of 12h 42m. Virgin Atlantic followed at $939 and Air France at $967, both 1 stop at 11h 35m, then KLM at $978 at 11h 25m. Every fare in this search had a connection, even though non-stops fly the route, so if you want a non-stop, ask an advisor to price one for your dates. The month-by-month numbers are where it gets interesting. January 2027 came in at $733, well under February's $897 and March's $919. If your dates are flexible, January is the month we'd aim for, with the schedule catch covered in the next section. Fares shown are the lowest found at the time of the snapshot, per person, and are subject to availability and change at the time of booking.
Air France and United each fly SFO to Charles de Gaulle (CDG) non-stop once a day on published schedules for early November 2026. Air France puts its direct flight at about 11h 30m in the Paris to San Francisco direction. Here's the catch for January travelers. United plans a seasonal break on SFO to CDG from January 5 to February 10, 2027, which lands right on top of the $733 month in our data. If you're booking January, check which non-stops are still flying your week before you settle on a connection. French bee is the third non-stop, flying SFO to Paris Orly (ORY) three times a week on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The airline gives an average journey of 10h 45m and says the schedule can vary by season. Its timetable shows evening departures from SFO that land in Paris the following afternoon.
BART stops inside SFO's International Terminal, and the free AirTrain connects it to every other terminal. BART puts the ride at 30 minutes from downtown San Francisco. It no longer sells paper tickets, so sort out payment before you head to the station. At the Paris end, your arrival airport changes the plan. Landing at CDG on the Air France or United non-stop, take RER B, which runs every 6 to 15 minutes, on a €14 Paris Région <> Aéroports ticket. Landing at Orly on French bee, Orlyval reaches RER B at Antony in six minutes, and the same €14 ticket also covers metro line 14. Taxis into Paris are flat fares: €56 to the Right Bank or €65 to the Left Bank from CDG, and €45 or €36 from Orly. RoissyBus stopped running on March 1, 2026, so skip older guides that still recommend it.
Paris is 9 hours ahead of San Francisco for most of the year, and 8 hours for short spells when the US and Europe change their clocks on different dates. That's a big jump, so keep your first day in Paris light. US citizens don't need a visa for stays under 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least three months beyond the date you leave the Schengen area, with at least one blank page, and the emergency passport doesn't count. Since April 10, 2026, the EU's Entry/Exit System (EES) has been fully running at external borders, recording a facial image and fingerprints for short-stay visitors from outside the EU. Allow extra time at passport control. ETIAS, the EU's planned travel authorization, isn't operating and no applications are being collected, so don't pay any site that claims to sell one.
