The Paris-Beauvais Aeroport Shuttle is a bus service that transports passengers between central Paris (specifically Porte Maillot) and Beauvais-Tillé Airport, located about 85 kilometers north of the city. This shuttle is primarily used by travelers flying with low-cost airlines like Ryanair and Wizz Air, which operate out of Beauvais. The journey takes approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes under normal traffic conditions. The service is generally affordable but has received mixed reviews, with a rating of 2 out of 5 from 255 reviews. Common complaints include infrequent departures, overcrowding, and lack of clear signage at the airport. Despite these issues, it remains the most common and direct way to reach Beauvais Airport from Paris, as there is no direct train connection. The shuttle departs from a dedicated stop near the Palais des Congrès at Porte Maillot, which is accessible via metro line 1 and RER C.
