Overnight nonstops on Air France, United and Delta. ESTA and EU entry, which terminal, seasons and baggage, verified September 2026.
Paris is the other capital of the Haitian diaspora: tens of thousands of Haitian families live in Paris, Montreuil, Saint-Denis and the wider Île-de-France, and the flights between Paris and the US gateways are how cousins on both sides of the Atlantic meet in the middle. Newark, JFK and Miami all have nonstops of seven to nine hours.
Entry requirements
