Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport (BVA)

It appears that a few people on here are already familiar with this tiny little airport in the middle of "nowhere" France. I'm not surprized either, that it's only been given an average rating of 3 stars. In my opinion this so called "airport" deserves maybe 2.5 stars. Why? It's hard to explain. Is there anything really wrong with the airport itself? No, it's your typical small airport for cheap flights. There are definate reasons though, why this isn't worth the trip. ***** I'm near Paris.....pysche!***** This airport is called "Paris Beauvais" , which is just a ridiculous statement.

It's kinda funny that the Airport is known as Paris Beauvais, because actually it's about 1hr(ish) from Paris, in a little town known as Beauvais (not really surprising that !).

As far as I can make it, this is the ONLY major airline that actually uses Beauvais, so the chances are that unless you book with Ryanair then it?s an airport that you?ll never be very ...  Read the complete review

Beauvais-Tille airport is situated 3 miles from the historic town of Beauvais, and approximately 45 miles north west of Paris. Sometimes referred to as Paris-Beauvais airport, it is used primarly by charter and no-frills airlines as a gateway to the French capital, avoiding the crowds of Paris's main two airports - Charles de Gaulle and Orly. It is a pretty basic affair though, the terminal building is a very small, cramped metal prefab, and the baggage reclaim and departure "lounge" is a marquee built onto the side of the tin shed that makes up the main concourse. Despite this though, all the major car rental firms have an office ...  Read the complete review
