Then instead of flying back out of London, we fly home from Paris. Or is it cheaper (including the train tickets) to come back to London, and fly out? Obviously prices fluctuate. Kind of just looking for a general idea of what people think and suggest. Thanks! Cheers!
If you were planning to use frequent-flyer miles for the trip, then generally you would be better off flying into LON, and out of PAR, because of the disparity in departure taxes and fees. But on a cash ticket, all bets are off, as base fares for flying into PAR and out of LON might be sufficiently low to offset the disparity in taxes. You just have to price each itinerary to see which comes out cheaper.
