QUICK ANSWER

Paris-Orly’s former West and South terminal names were reorganized into Orly 1, 2, 3 and 4 with a connecting junction building. The numbered area on your flight matters for check-in, gate direction and ground transport.

01

Walking between areas

Official terminal maps show pedestrian connections between Orly areas, but the practical route depends on level, boarding zone and whether you are before or after security. Follow current signage rather than assuming every secure zone connects directly.

02

Metro 14 arrival point

Aéroport d’Orly Metro 14 station brings public transport directly into the airport complex. From there, follow the numbered terminal/boarding-area signs for your airline.

03

Connections and bags

A self-transfer may require bag reclaim and new check-in even if both flights use the same airport. Build the airline cutoff and security process into your plan.

04

Use the live flight source

Flight numbers, airline operating areas and gates can change. Confirm the current flight on Paris Aéroport before walking to a numbered area.
