Flights from Vancouver to Paris are among the most affordable options to Europe to ring in the new year.
Travellers can fly from Vancouver International Airport (YVR) to Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) round-trip for the same price as many Mexican, Central American, and Caribbean hot spots.
A flight departing Vancouver on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2026, makes a stop in Kelowna for an hour and a half and one in Calgary for an hour and 15 minutes before arriving in Paris. On the return trip, departing on Friday, Jan. 16, 2026, the itinerary includes a stop in Calgary for two hours. The total trip costs as little as $561 booked through a third party and $591 directly through WestJet (see slides two and three).
This price is considered "low" for economy or $303 cheaper than usual, according to Google Flights.
Travellers who don't want to make two stops on the outbound trip won't have to pay much more.
