I'm flying out of Orly airport Paris in October. I assume it's not as busy as Charles de Gaulle. How far in advance of my flight should i get there? thanks Sue

Although Orly is smaller than CDG, there can be long delays at security checkpoints. The airport’s website recommends the standard three-hour arrival time prior to an international flight; two hours for flights within the Schengen zone.

Given an option, I always go to ORY; closer to Paris than CDG, and much easier to navigate. Going to the US I typically fly La Compagnie which asks you to check in 2 hours in advance. 2 hours is fine for inside Schengen flights.
