What MAN to CDG looks like
The MAN to CDG sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Manchester MAN to Paris CDG is a short sector of 588 km by great circle, flown nonstop 9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 588 km, 720 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 1h 22m.
Manchester MAN is a major hub in the network held here, 203 scheduled destinations and 374.8 departures a day. Paris CDG has 277 destinations and 771.4 departures a day.
Paris is one hour ahead of Manchester all year.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on MAN to CDG from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAN to CDG | 9 | 63 | Air France, Antrak Air, ASL Airlines Belgium, easyJet |
| CDG to MAN | 8.57 | 60 | Air France, easyJet |
4 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 123 departures a week on MAN to CDG, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 1h 22m block time on MAN to CDG. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to MAN | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At MAN before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| MAN to CDG in the air, estimated | 82 min | 5h 52m |
| Formalities at CDG | 90 min | 7h 22m |
| Delivery run in Paris | 45 min | 8h 07m |
| Door to door | 487 min | 8h 07m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for MAN to CDG is 8h 07m.
A courier who leaves Manchester at 09:00 local is on the ground in Paris at about 11:22 local and at the door by 13:37 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Paris, the last useful departure from Manchester is around 13:23 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 118 of them join MAN to CDG.
| Connecting at | MAN to hub, flights a day | Hub to CDG, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| London LHR | 6.86 | 13.86 | 590 | 3h 22m |
| Brussels BRU | 1.86 | 4.29 | 787 | 3h 24m |
| Belfast BFS | 6.29 | 1.14 | 1,164 | 3h 33m |
| Nantes NTE | 0.57 | 5.71 | 1,063 | 3h 34m |
| Luxembourg City LUX | 0.57 | 3 | 992 | 3h 42m |
| Cork ORK | 2.14 | 1.29 | 1,294 | 3h 45m |
With 9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
118 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is London LHR, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 6.9 times a day.
Through LHR the routing covers 590 km against the 588 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 22m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 90 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 2h 00m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Brussels BRU at 3h 24m and Belfast BFS at 3h 33m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Manchester, Liverpool LPL is 38 km away by great circle and carries 88 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Paris, Paris ORY is 35 km away by great circle and carries 157 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Paris CDG is shut to scheduled movements between 00:00 and 05:00 local, which matters here because an aircraft leaving Manchester late arrives into a closed airport rather than a quiet one.
Paris CDG, night restrictions: Scheduled movements between midnight and 05:00 local are limited to a fixed annual number of slots.
Read back down the sector, a departure from Manchester later than about 21:38 local arrives at CDG after it has closed for the night, on the 1h 22m block time above.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for MAN to CDG in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
