Destination briefPARParisStill the benchmark. Croissant inflation is real, but a $380 crossing fixes the math.Best windowApr–Jun · Sep–OctAirportsCharles de Gaulle (CDG) · Orly (ORY)All routes into ParisWhen this route gets cheap.
Cached-fare history: across 4 months, Oct is the cheapest for SEL → PAR. Best time to be there: Apr–Jun · Sep–Oct.
Fares bottom out in October around $558 and peak in July near $982 — a $424 spread across the 4 months we track. The cheapest itinerary we are tracking makes one stop and takes about 14.5 hours outbound, on a 8-night trip — ticketed under China Eastern, which on a connecting fare need not operate every leg. At $558 for 8,966 km each way, that works out to about $31 per 1,000 km flown. That is below the $44 typical of long-haul fares here. Across the 16 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Paris, this fare ranks 2nd — 6% above the $527 from Kuala Lumpur. That puts it in the cheaper half of the 47 routes of similar length we watch out of Seoul, where the middle fare is $694.

How far in advance should I book SEL → Paris?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet.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 4 months of cached fares, Oct comes out lowest on this route. See /guides/what-moves-a-flight-price/ for what does move a fare.
Are there nonstop flights from Seoul to Paris?
The current cheapest fares involve a connection, ticketed under China Eastern. 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.
