Know 1-2-3 vs 4 before you leave Paris
Wrong cluster means a new curb, a new Orlyval hop, and a missed bag-drop. Check the booking, not old Ouest/Sud memory.
Line 14 is open — Orlybus is not
Take Metro 14 to Aéroport d'Orly. Orlybus closed 3 March 2025. Do not follow outdated bus advice.
Do not assume an Air France lounge leftover
AF left in March 2026. Eat in Extime shops or use the lounge that actually matches your terminal.
CDG
