Travel from Rome to Paris

[mrsnole]

Anyone have any recs on ways to get from Rome to Paris? We are going to Europe in April and would like recs on the best way to travel between these two cities. I think we are looking at flights since they seem to be around $50 per person.

Thanks!

Fly. Check flights on Easy Jet and Vueling (not sure if they fly between these two cities). You can also check the web site bravofly (.com or .fr- no idea if the prices are different) because they will pick up a bunch of different low-cost airlines.

I've flown this route in the past and it was super easy. Try to fly into (or out of, whatever the case may be) Orly airport in Paris over Charles de Gaulle, if possible. Orly is much closer to the city, and thus a cheaper cab ride/faster public transport ride.

Also note that if you're flying one of the super-cheap airlines, if you plan on checking bags, buy that option online. It's much cheaper to purchase the checked bag option when you reserve than to pay at the airport (usually 20-25 Euros v. 50 Euros).

For comparative distance, think of NYC to Atlanta. Or nearly the whole length of (the main island) of Japan. No question, you fly.

Fly. My SIL/BIL took an overnight train for from Florence (I believe) to Paris and said it was the worst night of sleep it made it hard to enjoy Paris.

Thank you! We only looked on edream.com (or something like that) and saw the $47 flight on easyjet. We wanted to research more about it before we booked. I am pretty sure that it was to the Orly Airport in Paris.
