London and Paris are two of Europe’s biggest tourist destinations, just a few hours away from each other by road or rail and an hours’ distance by air. What about the train-ferry combination that many recall fondly from their childhoods? Well, though it’s budget-saving, this option is too time-consuming today, so better leave it to your memories. Since the UK is not part the Schengen Area, passengers need to go through passport control prior to boarding.

Air trips:

Though flying between London and Paris is by no means recommended, there are still a few people traveling between the two dynamic cities by air. A very low one-way fare (车费) is possible through advanced booking, but of course it’s rare, and that doesn’t include the taxi and rail fares traveling to and from the airports.

*One-way fares from Paris can be as low as €49;

*From London, Air France flies with fares as low as £39(€46), and British Airways as low as £48(€56).

Bus trip
