Orly is the closer of the two main Paris airports, 13 km south of the city, and since June 2024 it is the only one with a metro line running straight into the centre. Line 14 rewired the decision: for a solo traveller, the train now beats everything on price-per-minute. But Orly serves a different crowd than CDG, more short-haul, more families heading to Disneyland or the Latin Quarter, more departures at dawn when the metro has not started. The regulated taxi flat fares are the cheapest of any Paris airport, and a pre-booked chauffeur costs less here than anywhere else too. This page lays out the real 2026 numbers for all four options so the choice takes thirty seconds.

Metro 14: the game changer, with two caveats

Since the June 2024 extension, line 14 links Orly to Châtelet in about 25 minutes, automatic, frequent, immune to road traffic. For one person with a cabin bag it is simply the rational choice at €14.

Two caveats. First, the metro starts around 5:30am and Orly's first departures board earlier than that; a 7am flight means you cannot rely on it. Second, €14 is per person: a family of four pays €56, exactly the price of the regulated taxi to the left bank, except the taxi takes the luggage and drops you at the door.

Orly's flat fares are the cheapest in Paris

At €36 to the left bank and €45 to the right bank, Orly's regulated taxi fares undercut CDG's by twenty euros. If you land mid-day with luggage and your hotel is in Saint-Germain or the 5th, the taxi rank is a genuinely good deal.

The friction is the rank itself: at peak arrival waves the queue stretches, and the fare assumes no booking. A pre-booked chauffeur from €95 removes the queue, tracks the flight and guarantees an English-speaking driver, which matters more at Orly than anywhere since taxi availability thins out late evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

The regulated flat fare is €36 to the left bank and €45 to the right bank (decree of 24 December 2025). Booking adds €4 (immediate) or €7 (advance). The fare covers the ride, not per passenger.

Yes, since June 2024 line 14 terminates at Aéroport d'Orly and reaches Châtelet in about 25 minutes. You need the €14 Paris Région Aéroports ticket, a standard €2.50 metro ticket is not valid for the airport station.

Metro 14 starts around 5:30am. For flights boarding before 7am, plan a taxi or a pre-booked private transfer: a chauffeur is confirmed in advance regardless of the hour, which removes the early-morning gamble.

Orly is 13 km south of Paris: 25 to 40 minutes by car depending on traffic on the A6. It is the shortest airport transfer in Paris, which is why both taxi fares and private transfers cost less than from CDG.

Orly is organised in four connected zones, Orly 1 to 4. A private chauffeur tracks your flight and waits at the right exit with a name board, so the terminal question stops mattering the moment you book.
