By air, Paris’s three airports have flights to worldwide destinations, including frequent services to London’s six airports. These are operated by several airlines, the main ones being BA (Charles de Gaulle and Orly to Heathrow), Air France (Charles de Gaulle to Heathrow), EasyJet (Charles de Gaulle to Gatwick, Luton and Southend), Cityjet (Orly to City) and Flybe (Charles de Gaulle to City). These airlines, and Ryanair (who fly from Beauvais, classic route, Stage 8), also operate services to other UK airports. Airlines have different requirements regarding how cycles are presented and some, but not all, make a charge which you should pay when booking as it is usually greater at the airport. All require tyres partially deflated, handlebars turned and pedals removed (loosen pedals beforehand to make them easier to remove at the airport). Most will accept your cycle in a transparent polythene bike-bag, although some insist on use of a cardboard bike-box. These can be obtained from cycle shops, usually for free. You do, however, have the problem of how you get the box to the airport.
