Flying to Paris for less than $300 round-trip may seem too good to be true, but it's real. You can score these prices right now for fall travel.
Norse Atlantic Airways has incredibly low fares from New York City to the City of Light. These are nonstop itineraries, making them even more attractive.
The availability for these sale prices is limited. We only found them in September and October of this year.
Keep in mind, too, that these are Norse Atlantic's Economy Light fares, which are quite restrictive. The Norwegian budget airline charges between $35 and $65 for a carry-on and $75 for each checked bag. Still, the overall savings are enough to make this an excellent deal for traveling to one of the world's most popular destinations.

Sample flights
Check out this itinerary in early October leaving out of New York City. You can fly nonstop from New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) for just $267 round-trip.
We also found the same low price for a late-October trip to Paris.
That was the cheapest option we found, but there were other sub-$300 fares available in October, including this one.
According to Google Flights, these fares are roughly half of what they normally would go for.
We didn't find many fares less than $300 in September, but there are still a few great bargains. Here's a late-September itinerary from JFK to CDG for just $298 round-trip.
