Seattle → Paris flights

Target $352–$416 for Seattle–Paris and book early

Key takeaways

• Median fare is $416 across 17 daily snapshots of the cheapest cached prices.
• Bottom 25% of fares fell at or below $352 — that's the realistic floor to aim for, not an outlier.
• The absolute low was $343, but the top of the range reached $439, a 28% spread indicating meaningful price movement on this route.
• 75% of sampled fares came in under $433, so anything below that threshold represents above-average value.
• Sample size is 17 days — moderately thin, so treat these figures as directional rather than definitive benchmarks.

The full picture

Seattle–Paris (SEA–CDG) fares in this snapshot window ranged from $343 to $439, with a median of $416. A 28% spread between low and high is meaningful — it tells you that the cheapest fares on this route are not a fluke, but they're also not the norm. The interquartile range of $352–$433 is the more reliable signal: on most days, the best available price landed somewhere in that band. If you see anything at or below $380, that's a legitimately strong fare by recent standards.

On a long-haul transatlantic route like SEA–CDG, prices typically soften when booked well outside the departure window — generally the 2-to-5-month range tends to capture competitive inventory before seats tighten. Fares near the $439 high in this dataset likely reflect either short booking horizons or periods of elevated demand, while the sub-$360 fares near the floor suggest those windows open briefly and close quickly. The practical takeaway: if your travel dates are flexible, monitor fares in that $352–$416 zone and move when you see bottom-quartile pricing rather than waiting for a theoretical minimum.

No dominant carrier pattern was identifiable from this dataset, so we can't point to a specific airline as the consistent price leader on this routing. It's worth checking both nonstop options and one-stop itineraries through European hubs, as connections frequently undercut nonstop pricing on this market. One honest caveat: with only 17 daily snapshots, this analysis captures a limited slice of the pricing cycle. Seasonal shifts — particularly around summer peak and holiday periods — can push fares well above the $439 high observed here, so this data is best used as a baseline for shoulder-season or off-peak planning.
