Has anyone taken this flight? Is Beauvais difficult or expensive to get to from central Paris? I think we flew Ryanair Madrid to Rome in 2014 and it was okay.
Advice, or any other ideas?

Beauvais is far from Paris. You take the metro to the Western edge at Port Maillot. There is a shuttle timed to get you to Beauvais for a flight -- It leaves about 3:15 hours before the flight. Double check all that on the airport site to make sure you have your timing right as things can change. The trip takes about an hour and a half to get to Paris or from Paris to Beauvais on the shuttle.
You can find information about the bus (fares and schedules.) at https://www.aeroportparisbeauvais.com/en/access-parking/paris-airport-shuttle/
It's easy and direct to get from Beauvais to Paris, a little over one hour. I went there as an afternoon trip from Paris taking the TER train. Aside from the cathedral, there is also a WW@ site in Beauvais. The town is situated almost equal distant between Amiens and Paris. You can take the train from Beauvais to Paris Gare du Nord, direct, then take the Metro to where you want.
When I fly to Vienna from Paris, I take a taxi from the Left Bank to ORY, about 20 minutes and 35€ which is less than what 2 people pay just for the bus to BVA, which is 90 minutes from Port Maillot, add 30 minutes métro and positioning time from the center of Paris.
Transavia flies the same aircraft out of ORY as does Ryanair out of BVA, Ryanair might be a bit cheaper initially, but the difference diminishes when you add luggage and any other amenities and particularly when you consider the time lost going to BVA.
As Fred suggested taking the train from Gare du Nord to the town of Beauvais is simple. However, I think I would probably take the shuttle if I were going to the airport from Paris so I would not have to deal with getting a bus a taxi from the train station in Beauvais to the airport.
I'd do the same as Tocard, Transavia from Orly. Transavia is part of the Air France group.
Other options are Air France or Austrian from Charles the Gaulle.
Or, if you want to save a bit of money and not have to deal with airport security, there is also a direct overnight train.
