Charles de Gaulle Airport to Orly Airport Transfer Guide
The route crosses the Paris region from Charles de Gaulle Airport in the north-east to Orly Airport in the south. A direct vehicle avoids handling luggage through a connection. The checked public route uses RER B to Antony and Orlyval to the correct Orly terminal.
A pre-booked vehicle provides one airport-to-station journey and can simplify travel with several bags or a tight onward itinerary, though road traffic remains a risk. Search AirportTransferNow using the flight, passenger count and train details; the quote and confirmation define the vehicle and meeting point. RER B is the strongest public alternative because it reaches Orly Airport directly without a change.
Pickup at Charles de Gaulle Airport
After baggage claim, follow the meeting point in the booking confirmation and verify the terminal. Official taxis wait at designated ranks outside each terminal's arrivals area; decline unsolicited offers inside. RER B passengers use Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 for Terminals 1 and 3 or Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV for Terminals 2A to 2G.
Drop-off in Orly Airport
Provide Orly Airport, the airline, flight number and confirmed terminal. Orly 1, 2 and 3 share one terminal complex, while Orly 4 has its own stop and departures area. Use the departures entrance specified by the airline and allow time for check-in and security.
Travel Time from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Orly Airport
Terminal roads at both airports and traffic crossing the Paris region can delay the drive. The final approach differs for Orly 1–2–3 and Orly 4. Treat the 43-minute clear-road estimate as a reference and route to the confirmed departure terminal.
Taxi from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Orly Airport
Use the official taxi rank outside the baggage-claim exit at CDG and decline drivers soliciting passengers inside. For the destination, give the airline, flight number and confirmed Orly terminal so the driver uses the correct departures entrance.
Public Transport from Charles de Gaulle Airport to Orly Airport
Take RER B from Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 or Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV toward Antony. At Antony, change to Orlyval and leave at Orly 1–2–3 or Orly 4 for the confirmed departure terminal. The checked itinerary takes about 1 hour 20 minutes including the connection.
Île-de-France Mobilités also identifies a rail-network option using RER B and Metro line 14 through Paris. Check live service information and the flight terminal before departure; neither option is a one-seat airport-to-airport journey.
Private Transfer vs Taxi and Public Transport
A direct vehicle avoids a rail change and keeps luggage together, but cross-region traffic can delay arrival. RER B plus Orlyval has a predictable network route but requires a transfer at Antony and movement through two airports. Compare the flight connection margin, luggage and group size.
Charles de Gaulle Airport to Orly Airport Transfer Prices
Private transfers and taxis are priced per vehicle or booking terms, while the airport rail ticket is charged per passenger under current transport rules. Compare the full journey, including station access and any onward connection. Recheck fares and use the live booking quote for the selected date, party and vehicle.
