Helping travelers to find the best flight offers

Beauvais-Tillé Airport (BVA), opened in the 1930s, is a compact regional airport about 85 km north of Paris with a single main terminal that handles predominantly low-cost traffic; it punches above its size as a key gateway for budget travelers heading to Paris and northern France. Well known for quick coach shuttles to Paris Porte Maillot and local train and road links into Beauvais city, BVA is easy to reach by shuttle, car or taxi. Generally considered an affordable option thanks to Ryanair and other low-cost carriers using it as a base, amenities are basic but efficient for short-haul trips.
Cash on arrival is straightforward with one exchange desk and three ATMs spread between the two terminals, but you’ll save more by using a card or waiting to withdraw in Paris. Expect higher airport markups; if you must take cash, make a small euro withdrawal and decline any on‑screen currency conversion.
Compact Aelia Duty Free shops sit just past security in both terminals at Beauvais, perfect for last‑minute French perfumes, Champagne, and sweet gifts at travel‑value prices. Hours track the flight schedule from early morning to late evening, with noticeably better deals on alcohol bundles and selected cosmetics than many Paris high‑street stores.
Snack fast or sit for a quick plate: a handful of bakery cafés, bars, and grab‑and‑go counters are split between Terminals 1 and 2. Expect coffee around €3, sandwiches €6–€9, and simple hot meals €12–€17—about 15–30% pricier than in Beauvais or central Paris.
Help is close if you feel unwell: first‑aid responders cover both terminals during operating hours, while nearby pharmacies in Tillé and Beauvais handle prescriptions, travel meds, and rapid tests. Basic assistance is free; medicines and testing are paid.
No on-site lockers at Beauvais‑Tillé. Use third‑party storage in Beauvais town or the official locker rooms at Paris train stations, typically €6–12 per 24h with simple online booking and photo ID.
No frills but comfortable, Beauvais‑Tillé offers two post‑security waiting areas—one in each terminal—plus seating before security, all with free Wi‑Fi, charging points, and café snacks. There are no lounges or showers, and the terminals usually close overnight, so head for the quieter corners at the ends of the gate areas if you want a calmer wait.
