How ORD–CDG gets cheaper
- Regional point-of-sale pricing: the same flight is often filed at different tariffs in different countries and currencies.
- Split-hub routing: pricing ORD to a competitive hub and that hub to CDG as separate tickets can undercut the nonstop.
- Timing: discounted fare buckets typically reopen on a revenue-management schedule; the scan shows the window for this route.
