A short trip is where the low-cost, small airlines really shine. They can offer short flights at a lower cost by using smaller planes, shorter routes, and smaller airports. In a city like London there is a behemoth airport like Heathrow and the major airlines collect at one airport. But the city also has smaller airports where these low-cost carriers can offer cheaper flights on the shorter routes like Luton to Paris.

The opportunities for inexpensive flights from Luton to Paris abound. Finding them on the Internet is two-fold. First, one can try to find flights on travel sites like Orbitz or Expedia. Unfortunately, many of these sites are major carrier-centric. They do not serve the smaller airlines, part of that is because the underlying data system charges the airlines big bucks to be a part of it. Therefore, to find deals on flights one has to go to the smaller airline’s own site and search individually. Though, a bit more work, it can pay off in huge savings.

Therefore, the second step is see what airlines serve a particular airport. Looking at Luton Airport one will find that EasyJet offers a lot of good deals being a low-cost carrier. EasyJet has a number of Luton to Paris flights available depending on day of the week. The cost also fluctuates according to season, with off-season rates being quite low.

If one would fancy a rail trip from the airport, Eurostar can bring one to Paris from Luton by using a couple of train companies and a connection in London.
