Time to Beauvais airport

Hello
We have a flight out of Beauvais airport and have a transfer from Paris. I gave the transfer company our flight information and they set up our departure time. I am just wondering if it is enough time. I am the type that hates to be late and needs to be early to everything.

How long does it take (on average--factor in a high traffic time) from Paris to Beauvais Airport. I was thinking of being at the airport three hours before our flight to deal with lines and checking in.

thank you for any advice.

If you want to save some money, I suggest that you take the shuttle bus from Porte Maillot to Beauvais. The bus departure times are coordinated with Ryanair's departure times. You must be at Porte Maillot 3hr15min before your flight time. Buy your tickets (€13) online or from the bus driver.

If you're packing light, take the Metro to Porte Maillot. Otherwise take a taxi there.

Thank you Tim for the reply,
Even though I am all about saving money...I am all set with the price that we paid for the private van transfer. (for our family of four) I have saved money "here" (doing things more economical at times) and paid a little more "there" (splurging on things), to us it all works out in the end. With the total for the four of us for the bus and then the added cost for the taxi.. we aren't really paying THAT much more. I am still under budget compared to the overnight train and the price I found for Easy Jet from CDG. (even with the added fees that Ryan adds)

I just want to make sure we are leaving early enough. Can anyone tell me how long (use a worst case situation of a lot of traffic) it will take to get from Paris center to Beauvais airport??

thank you all again. (I just don't want to be late or arrive when the line is out of control)
