I travelled to Paris using Ryanair in Easter 2001. Ryanair seems to specialise in using small, undiscovered airports which require you to get a bus to the nearest city, and this is the case with Beauvais. It is a very small airport, which nevertheless has a reasonable selection of duty-free and duty-paid goods on sale as you leave to return to the UK, and there is a café if you arrive early, although this is must be taken advantage of before you proceed to the departure lounge. On arrival in Beauvais from the UK, there is a bus which cost me in 2001 about £6 and takes you directly into Paris, to a metro station, from where the rest of Paris is accessible. The bus journey lasts about an hour and a half. The return to the airport is straightforward as well - tickets for the return bus trip can be bought at the James Joyce pub very close to the bus station where you are dropped off, and the staff go round to check everyone's away in time for their connection. The airport is clean, compact and very small, though I don't know how well it caters for disabled travellers in terms of wheelchair access to toilets. The café is uite basic, but fine for sandwiches, beer, tea or coffee. There is a small shop for magazines, papers, sweeties and very iffy souvenirs if there are some francs left! The luggage retrieval service, because the airport is so small, is very relaxed and quick.

Review of Paris - Beauvais
Advantages: Excellent weekend rates, quiet area, clean rooms and friendly staff. Disadvantages: Gives misleading information about itself, our bags were left unattended in the hallway.
