If you’re flying from Chicago, Air France and United offer cheap round-trip fares for the week of Feb. 7, 2024.
If you opt for United, the airline offers a returning flight from Paris at 11:55 a.m.
Even though $545 is cheap for a round-trip flight to Paris, you’ll be flying in basic economy, which has no perks. United’s basic economy for international routes lets passengers bring one carry-on but charges for seat selection and does not allow for ticket changes or refunds.
Selecting an economy seat will cost anywhere from $27 to $37, whereas if you want to fly in a preferred seat to earn Premier qualifying points as part of United’s MileagePlus program, you’ll pay anywhere from $57 to $79.
