Those looking to travel to the French overseas department of La Reunion usually have to dig deep into their pockets. However, there’s currently a comparatively good offer from Frenchbee. Departing from Paris, you can reach Saint-Denis from €449. Availability can be found for travel from January to June 2025.
The Light fare includes a personal item (up to 4 kg) and carry-on baggage (up to 12 kg). The fare including checked baggage is available directly from Frenchbee from €528.
You can also find one way trips to Reunion starting at just €225
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Skyscanner with your selected flight dates. From there, you can proceed to French Bee or check what OTAs have to offer:
Frenchbee uses Airbus A350 aircraft with 81 centimeters (32 inches) of legroom and an unusually narrow 3-4-3 seating configuration (review). Flights take approximately 11 to 12 hours each way.
Search & Book
This deal will expire on December 23, 2024. The fare doesn’t have a minimum stay, but a maximum stay of 12 months applies. Departures are available between January and June 2025.
You can find suitable dates using our calendar above or with the help of Google Flights. We recommend booking directly on Frenchbee’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Miles & Points
The booking class is F. You probably won’t earn miles with it (at least not with the common programs).
