The Houston–Paris route
Houston to Paris is a transatlantic search from a US airport. You leave George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) and land at Charles de Gaulle (CDG) in France, about 5,016 miles away. This city pair is usually a connecting trip: about 5,016 miles of flying, with the shortest timed itineraries near 10.5 hours plus a layover.
For IAH–CDG we show about $409 on the low end and around $730 as a more typical one-way economy total, USD, last reviewed August 2026. Long-haul sale banners expire; a $409 one-way is a planning floor, not a coupon. Taxes, bags, and seats change what you pay on the seller site.
Search IAH to CDG on Azurovia, compare airline-direct and travel-site totals on the same flights, then finish with the seller. We do not ticket. Keep their confirmation for changes.
Distance and time IAH–CDG
Houston and Paris sit about 5,016 miles apart. If a nonstop is missing from IAH, timed itineraries near 10.5 hours of flying usually mean one long-haul plus a shorter feeder — not two equal hops.
Paris is about 7 hours ahead of Houston on standard time (America/Chicago vs Europe/Paris). Arrival clocks on CDG are local. That matters more on this pair than on a same-zone hop.
Most Houston–Paris journeys connect rather than fly nonstop from IAH. Timed one-stop itineraries often bank at John F. Kennedy International (JFK), Newark Liberty International (EWR), O'Hare International (ORD). That is a pattern, not a promise for your dates. On results, sort by fastest if you care about layover pain, or cheapest if you do not.
Airports for Houston to Paris
You depart George Bush Intercontinental in Houston, United States, and arrive at Charles de Gaulle in Paris, France. IAH is the origin code we use on this guide; CDG is the arrival code. If you need a visa or an ESTA, that is between you and the destination government — Azurovia does not ticket and does not process immigration.
IAH is the only origin code we list in this metro. CDG is the arrival code we treat as primary for Paris. A cheaper nearby airport only wins if the transfer still fits your plan. Search with “include nearby airports” when you want those codes in one results list.
