Flight Deals from Charleston to Paris from $434

Flights from Charleston to Paris are about 4,230 miles. There is no scheduled nonstop service on this route, so the journey requires a connection.

Methodology

Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

There are no non-stop flights from Charleston to Paris. The shortest connecting routing is on United Airlines via Washington Dulles (IAD), a 10h 42m journey made up of a 1h 37m leg to Dulles, a 1h 00m layover, and an 8h 05m flight on to Paris. Air France via Atlanta and American Airlines via Philadelphia follow closely at 10h 45m and 10h 46m respectively.

Methodology

Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

There are no nonstop red-eye flights from Charleston to Paris, but overnight connecting itineraries are available — the long leg departs in the late afternoon to evening and lands in Paris the next morning. For example, United connects through Washington Dulles with an overnight leg departing 18:10 and arriving 07:45, Air France and Delta connect through Atlanta (departing as late as 21:55, arriving 12:30), and American connects through Charlotte departing 17:25 and arriving 07:45.

Methodology

Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

There is no nonstop service from Charleston to Paris; the route is served by one-stop connections. The main connecting carriers are United Airlines (via Washington Dulles or Newark, up to 10 weekly), Delta Air Lines (via Atlanta, New York JFK, or Detroit, up to 13 weekly), American Airlines (via Philadelphia, Charlotte, or Chicago, up to 7 weekly), Air France (via Atlanta, JFK, or Boston, up to 19 weekly, operated with Delta on the domestic leg), and JetBlue Airways (via Boston or JFK, up to 3 weekly). The quickest routing is United via Washington Dulles at 10 hours 42 minutes total, while Air France via Atlanta is only 3 minutes slower. No per-carrier fares are provided for this route.

Charleston to Paris has no nonstop service. The most common connecting routing is via New York JFK on Air France, using a Boeing 777-300ER for the transatlantic leg, followed by United via Washington Dulles with Boeing 777 family aircraft. Delta also connects via Atlanta using Boeing 767-400, Airbus A330-900neo, or Airbus A350-900, and American connects via Charlotte or Philadelphia with Boeing 777-200 or 787-8.

Methodology

Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.

There is no nonstop service from Charleston to Paris, but connecting itineraries are flown by United, Air France, Delta, American Airlines, and JetBlue through hubs like Washington-Dulles, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Charlotte, and New York.

JetBlue is a major operating carrier here that belongs to no alliance.
