Cached-fare history: across 6 months, Nov is the cheapest for PAR → KIX. Best time to be there: Mar–May · Oct–Nov.
Fares bottom out in November around $816 and peak in December near $1,360 — a $544 spread across the 6 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 13 hours outbound, on a 16-night trip — ticketed under Air China, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $816 for 9,647 km each way, that works out to about $42 per 1,000 km flown. That is about the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 33 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Osaka, this fare ranks 11th — 1.6× the $498 we hold from San Francisco. For context, the middle fare among the 35 routes of similar length we watch out of Paris is $714.

How far in advance should I book PAR → Osaka?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. What we can measure is which month is cheap: across 6 months of cached fares, Nov comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Paris to Osaka?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under Air China. Nonstop options exist on many dates at higher prices — check the live search for your exact dates.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on September 1). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
