Traveling from Paris to Venice. See Ryanair. Love the price, just not sure about having to bus 3 1/2 hrs early to Paris-Beauvais airport. Also, a bit worried about transport from Venice-Treviso airport. Anyone have suggestions?
Thanks

Three good sites to check discount airlines in Europe are whichbudget.com, flylc.com, and skyscanner.net, altho it's probably best to actually check out the fares at the airlines' websites rather than use any of their booking engines...to make sure you're clear on all the details of their baggage and check-in regulations. A quick look shows Easyjet flies Paris-CDG to Venice-Marco Polo, while Myair flies Paris-Orly to Venice-Marco Polo. The "big boys" like Air France and Alitalia may also offer comparable fares because of the discount competition, but better schedules.

Ditto Norm. There are better options out of Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly. Please use the very easy to use budget airline websites mentioned by Norm. Interestingly, Ryan air doesn't fly out of any of the large major airports. They fly out of airports outside of the major cities. It's really misleading to say Paris-Beauavais when Beauvais is a 90-min bus ride out of Paris or Venice-Treviso when Treviso is a 30-45 min bus or train ride from Venice.

Yes, the bus trip in from Treviso to Venice is another hour and fifteen minutes.
Plus, add to the price you love, along with "taxes and fees" the cost of the bus to Beauvais and the bus into Venice.
Between Paris and Venice are a few things worth seeing - a lot of France, all of Switzerland, and part of Italy. Maybe you should consider doing the trip in several land stages and actually seeing a part of Europe.
