Quick summary

Paris is always a good idea.

It's about to become an even easier one to act on for South Floridians when budget carrier French bee launches nonstop service from Miami to the City of Light beginning mid-December.

Not only will French bee offer affordable nonstop flights from South Florida to France, but we can already see that other airlines are providing competitive fares on this route. That means flights between France and South Florida will be easier – and cheaper – to book than ever before.

"We are excited about this expansion as we know that passengers will find value in booking competitive prices in the market. With the access that the new Miami service provides, we expect it to generate high demand, forging more economic and tourism ties between both cities," says Marc Rochet, president of French bee.

If you live in the Sunshine State and dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower, touring the Louvre and cruising the Seine in person, these flights are for you. They'll get you to Paris with some fromage left to purchase a gourmet dinner or a chic new scarf or two.

Here's what you need to know about getting to Paris from Miami this winter and beyond.

Note that French bee operates with three levels of service. Basic economy is the most affordable but also has the most additional costs, with meals and checked bags costing extra.

All levels of service allow passengers to change their tickets prior to departure without incurring fees. Although French bee is advertising flights starting at $281 each way, we actually saw a number of tickets starting from $210 beginning in January.

Other Miami-to-Paris options

Searching for flights on the same route, we were able to find a number of options that were competitively priced with this new French bee itinerary, often costing a bit less.

For example, we found flights over New Year's on Scandinavian Airlines for $495, although you will have a four-hour layover in Oslo, Norway.

Nonstop flights are available on American Airlines and its codeshare partners for January dates from $644 round-trip, providing even more options for Miami-area residents to fly to Paris.
