Travel Information

Other than Singapore, France is the only country of the northern hemisphere which has direct flight connections with Saint Denis (the capital of Reunion). There are several flights daily from Paris and weekly from Lyon, Marseille and Toulouse. Here is the sample of the lowest fares of main companies assuming the departure from Paris on Sep 7 and return on Sep 13.
 
Air France
1127 EUR
Corsair
(Nouvelles Frontières)
616 EUR
Air Lib
1012 EUR

Note that these fares are often unknown to other companies or travel agencies. Thus, if you want to benefit from them, you may have to contact the aforementioned companies directly. Moreover, the number of places being limited, early booking is recommended.

Of course, slightly changing the dates may have an important impact on the fare. On Air France the fare of 638 EUR is available for a round trip from Paris to Reunion from Sep 7 to Sep 15. In order to have a lower fare you have to spend in La Reunion a night of Saturday/Sunday.

Instead of traveling via Paris, it is also possible to travel via Mauritius.

Saint Denis has also direct connections provided by Air Austral with Africa (Johannesburg, Harare, Nairobi) and neighbouring islands (Mauritius, Madagascar, Seychelles).

Australia (Melbourne, Perth), India (Bombay, Madras, New Delhi) and South-eastern Asia (Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore) have connections to Reunion via Mauritius on Air Mauritius which also provides interesting connection to Africa. However their flights, especially from Australia are often fully booked half a year in advance.
