Tips for travelers at BVA
Getting to Beauvais from central Paris takes about 75 minutes on the dedicated Ryanair bus that runs from Porte Maillot. Book it in advance — it's cheaper online and times are coordinated with flights. Don't cut it close. The bus schedule isn't forgiving, and the airport has limited options if you miss your window. The terminal itself is small, so security rarely takes long, but arriving 90 minutes before departure is still smart. Summer weekends get chaotic with peak leisure travel, so earlier morning flights are calmer. There's a basic café and a few shops inside, but eat before you arrive.
