Insights shared by verified travellers who flew the route from Los Angeles to Paris 
JenFlew with Air Caraïbes-Sept 2024
Bring snacks! Might also want to bring a seat cushion. Spend lots of time thinking about how happy you are that you got a cheap ticket!
IvanFlew with Air France-Aug 2024
Use the self-check-in kiosk if you have a few check-in items. You can also ask for them to check your carry-on bags if you don't absolutely need to have them with you. Always be kind to the agents, they have stressful jobs and a little kindness goes a long way.
OzzyFlew with French Bee-Aug 2024
Pack light, a carry on is perfect for a week in Paris and you’ll save time by not waiting for your baggage. Also Orly airport is not as busy and has convenient transportation to all places
