## Overview

## Welcome

Paris–Orly Airport, unlike many sprawling European hubs, offers a more compact feel due to its interconnected terminal layout. Although it serves 33.1 million passengers per year, Orly's four terminals are closely knit into a single cohesive complex. This results in easier transfers and less complexity compared to airports with remote concourses or satellite terminals. As a hub for Air France and Transavia France, Orly caters to both domestic and European travelers, blending a variety of low-cost and full-service flights. The key here is not luxury, but finding the right terminal and transportation option to the city.

## Terminals & layout

Orly Airport is organized into four terminals: Orly 1, Orly 2, Orly 3, and Orly 4. Orly 1/2/3 are housed in one modern structure, making transfers between these very manageable. Orly 4, slightly detached as the older sector, presents the most unique navigation challenge. Each terminal group is assigned specific airlines; for instance, Air France operates mainly out of Orly 2, while Air Corsica is based in Orly 3. Be sure to check your airline's terminal assignment before arriving.

## Getting to and from the city

Orly is situated just south of Paris, about 13 kilometers from the city center, making it one of the more accessible airports. The Metro Line 14 can whisk you directly to the heart of Paris in about 25 minutes. Alternatively, the RER B line offers a slower but often reliable route with a travel time of 30-35 minutes. OrlyBus services offer another option, priced at $11-12 for a 30-40 minute ride. Taxis cost between $35-45 and take approximately 25-60 minutes depending on traffic, while rideshares run $25-50 within the same time frame. Shuttle options are diverse, with prices ranging from $0-10, offering a 10-25 minute journey.

## Traveller essentials

The airport's layout is intuitive once you understand the sector divisions: Orly 1/2/3 as a single block, and Orly 4 slightly apart. If renting a car, consider the variety of parking options: Short Stay at €30/day, Long Stay at €20/day, Valet at €40/day, and Remote Parking at €15/day. The compact nature of Orly assures that despite the lack of specific shops or dining establishments, a restroom or currency exchange will never be far.

## Dining & shopping highlights

Though specific restaurants and shops are currently unavailable, the layout indicates that services are spread efficiently across the terminals. Future visitors should look out for updates as tenant offers evolve after renovations at Orly 1/2/3.

## Lounges

At this time, Orly does not feature dedicated lounges. For travelers seeking rest, consider the Long Stay Parking for cheaper parking options or a nearby hotel which often provide day-use room rentals.

## Insider tips

- **Insider:** Confirm whether your airline operates at Orly 1/2/3 or at Orly 4 to avoid unnecessary walking.

- **Time:** Rely on the official terminal map rather than general city guides for the best wayfinding.

- **Avoid:** Don't assume easyJet, Vueling, or Transavia are in the same terminal; check your specific assignment.

- **Money:** Use Orly's direct rail links for a more economical city transfer than a taxi or rideshare.

- **Local:** Treat Orly 3 as a central orientation point; it is noted for being the most spacious terminal.
