Air travel is one of the most convenient ways to get from Moscow to the capital of France - Paris. With its relatively affordable cost, it allows you to move from one country to another in a very short period of time.
Paris is the largest city and capital of France; Moscow occupies a similar position in the Russian Federation. The distance between the two capitals, calculated as the shortest way to get from one point to another in a straight line, is 2,862 kilometers.
Flights from Moscow to Paris
Various air carriers make more than 10 flights every day from Moscow to Paris: thus, passengers who need to travel this route have a lot to choose from. At the same time, almost all air flights between the two capitals are made in the morning, afternoon and evening: for example, the first flight in this direction departs at about 7 am, and the last one - at 23.30.
Several major air carriers make direct nonstop flights on the Moscow-Paris route. Among them are both Russian airlines, for example, Aeroflot and Transaero, and foreign operators, such as the French companies Air France and Aigle Azur. In addition, if necessary, you can get from one city to another with a transfer, making it in Riga, Stockholm, Kiev or another European city.
Depending on which airline you have chosen as your carrier, the airport of departure and arrival may differ. Thus, Aeroflot makes its flights from the Moscow Sheremetyevo airport, and arrives at the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. Air France has similar points of departure and arrival. But Transaero and Aigle Azur airlines arrive at Orly airport, with Aigle Azur flights usually departing from Moscow Domodedovo airport, and Transaero flights from Domodedovo and Vnukovo.
Travel time
In general, the duration of a direct flight from Moscow to Paris is about 4 hours, but it differs slightly depending on the flight. Thus, the declared duration of all Transaero and Aigle Azur flights is exactly 4 hours, while the duration of various Air France and Aeroflot flights ranges from exactly 4 hours to 4 hours 10 minutes. It is noteworthy that the return journey for the same airlines, according to the schedule, takes slightly less time: it ranges from 3 hours 35 minutes to 3 hours 50 minutes.
But the duration of flights with a transfer can vary significantly depending on the chosen flight and air carrier. If you are in a hurry and chose a connecting flight just because there was no direct flight option, you can stop at the shortest connections, with the result that the entire flight will take a little more than 5 hours in total. However, you can use this option as a chance to see a new city and choose a longer connection in one of the European capitals.
