Hello,
I was wondering if Charles de Gaulle and Orly are equally as accessible from the Paris city centre. Is one easier or cheaper to get to? We are flying from Paris to Nice and return and Easyjet offers flights to both airports for a similar cost.
From looking at their websites, travelling to either seems pretty straightforward, but I know that isn't always the case in reality.
Thanks,
Michele
From Paris to Orly Airport, you can ride a bus, a shuttle, an RER + bus, or a taxi. Orly is a little closer to Paris, though not sure where your starting point is. And the airport is much smaller than CDG. From Paris to CDG Airport, basically the same options, except that the RER travels all the way into the airport (might still need to shuttle to your departure terminal).
Orly: If you take the free airport shuttle bus to the Pont de Rungis RER station and then the RER C to central Paris, the fare is only €3.60. The ticket includes transfers to the Metro and/or other RER lines until you exit the system. Taking the Orlyval driverless shuttle train to the Antony RER station and the RER B from there to central Paris where you can transfer to the Metro and/or other RER lines is the fastest route, but the fare is €9.60.
CDG: Take the RER B to central Paris and transfer to the Metro and/or other RER lines. The fare is €8.40.
