Arriving at Orly: terminals, exits and transfers to Paris
Terminals, baggage, meeting point and travel times: everything to know when you land at Orly.
Updated 4 November 2026 · 2 min read
Orly is the airport closest to central Paris, about 15 km to the south. More compact than CDG, it still helps to know your way around.
The terminals
Orly is organised into four terminals numbered 1 to 4, linked together: Orly 1-2-3 on one side, Orly 4 on the other. Your boarding pass or airline app shows the terminal. Give it when booking so the driver waits in the right place.
From the plane to the vehicle
- Border control if you arrive from outside the Schengen area.
- Baggage reclaim: allow 15 to 30 minutes depending on flights.
- Exit into the arrivals hall, where your driver is waiting with a sign bearing your name.
- A few minutes' walk to the car park where the van is parked.
If your flight is late, the driver tracks it and adjusts; waiting is free.

Taxi, Orlyval, bus or pre-booked van?
Orlyval and the tram are cheap for a solo traveller. From 4 people with luggage, a flat-fare 7-seater van is simpler and often comparable per person, with baby seats provided.
