Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) Paris Orly Airport (ORY)
At a glance
Paris has two main airports on opposite sides of the city: Charles de Gaulle, about 23 km to the north-east, and Orly, about 13 km to the south. Universal Airport Transfer arranges a private car with a named chauffeur at either one, tracks your flight and sends a full quote before you pay. Landing at one and flying on from the other with a separate ticket? That crossing can be booked as well. Tell us your flight, the terminal on your booking and where in Paris, or beyond, you are going.

Every journey is quoted on its own rather than sold from a price list, so the figure you receive is for your booking. These are the things that move it. Nothing is charged until you accept the quote. Tolls, where they apply, are either included in it or shown in it as an additional charge, and heavy traffic does not change the quoted price.
When you land
At CDG the name of your terminal matters: Terminal 2 alone is seven halls, and every terminal is due to be renamed in March 2027. Orly is simpler, one building in four numbered parts. Here is what to expect between the aircraft door and the car at either airport.
Check which of the two airports your ticket names, then the terminal. Send us your flight number and the terminal exactly as your booking shows it, whether that is 2E, Orly 4 or one of CDG’s new numbers. The flight is tracked live, so a delay moves the 30-minute wait along with it.
Arriving from outside the Schengen area for a short stay, most travellers without an EU, Icelandic, Liechtenstein, Norwegian or Swiss passport are registered in the EU’s Entry/Exit System, which replaced passport stamps at Schengen’s external borders when it became fully operational on 10 April 2026. The first time, your facial image is recorded, and so are your fingerprints from the age of 12, so allow extra time. Holders of a residence permit or long-stay visa from a Schengen country are not registered, and the system does not apply to flights from inside Schengen.
At CDG, collect your bags in the hall you land in. Halls 2A to 2F are joined by walkways, 2G is linked to 2F by the N2 shuttle bus, and the CDGVAL train, every 4 minutes from 4am to 1am, connects Terminal 1, Terminal 3 and Terminal 2. At Orly, the Orly 3 building joins Orly 1 and 2 to Orly 4, so all four are parts of one terminal.
Your chauffeur is named before pickup, and the booking desk tells you where to meet. Paris Aéroport warns travellers against accepting a ride from anyone who approaches them inside the terminal, so decline such offers and look for your named chauffeur. Keep your phone on: a passenger who has not reached the meeting point within the waiting time and cannot be contacted is treated as a no-show, and the booking desk answers around the clock.
From CDG the car joins the A1 autoroute and passes the Stade de France to reach Paris at Porte de la Chapelle; Paris Aéroport gives 35 to 60 minutes to central Paris depending on traffic. From Orly the A106 feeds the A6, which enters the city at Porte d’Orléans and Porte d’Italie. The distance is shorter, but at rush hour it is the traffic that sets the time.
Announced for 16 March 2027 at CDG: Terminal 1 stays 1, Terminal 3 becomes 2, 2A and 2C become 3, 2B and 2D become 4, 2E becomes 5, 2F becomes 6 and 2G becomes 7. No change has been announced at Orly. Airlines move between halls from time to time, so go by your booking and tell us exactly what it says.
CDG to Orly
The two airports share no airside link, so a connection on separate tickets turns into a journey across the Paris region, in either direction.
Nothing is checked through. You collect every bag at the first airport, after passport control if you flew in from outside Schengen, then check in again and pass security at the second, all before your onward airline’s check-in deadline.
About 34 km apart in a straight line and roughly 40 to 50 km by road, either round the A86 east of Paris or along the eastern side of the Boulevard Périphérique and out on the A6. On clear roads that is about 45 minutes, and noticeably longer in the weekday rush, so allow for traffic.
Both flights. The arriving one is tracked, and the desk needs your onward departure so the connection window is protected. How much time to leave between the flights is still your call: on separate tickets, Paris Aéroport points out, the airline is not responsible for rerouting you if the first flight runs late.
Paris Aéroport lists two rail routes between the airports: RER B to Antony and then Orlyval, or RER B with a change to metro line 14, about 1 hour 15 minutes in all by either route. With light bags and a long gap, the train is a perfectly sensible choice.
CDG
Also known as Roissy, Charles de Gaulle lies about 23 km north-east of the city centre and is Air France’s principal hub. Since 29 March 2026 Air France has flown to and from Paris only at CDG, apart from some Corsica routes that stay at Orly, so check the airport on your ticket. Groupe ADP counted just over 72 million passengers at CDG in 2025. The airport has two RER B stations and a TGV station, and the CDG Express, a non-stop train to Gare de l’Est, is due to open on 28 March 2027.
Terminals Three for now: 1, 2 and 3, with Terminal 2 divided into seven halls, 2A to 2G. Halls 2A to 2F stand side by side, while 2G is a satellite reached by shuttle bus, on the public side by the N2 from 2F. Groupe ADP has announced that the terminals and halls are renumbered 1 to 7 on 16 March 2027, with Terminal 1 keeping its number, and tickets for flights after that date may already carry the new names.

Orly sits about 13 km south of Paris, and metro line 14 has run to it since 24 June 2024; the Île-de-France Region puts Châtelet less than 25 minutes away. By road it is reached from the A6 by the A106, a short spur past Rungis. Groupe ADP counted about 34.9 million passengers here in 2025. Orly has had a night curfew since 1968: no take-offs or landings between 23:30 and 06:00.
Terminals One building in four parts since 2019: Orly 1 and Orly 2, which were Orly Ouest; Orly 3, the linking building in the middle; and Orly 4, which was Orly Sud. The Orlyval shuttle has one stop for Orly 1, 2 and 3 and another for Orly 4.

Questions
Orly, at about 13 km south of Paris against about 23 km north-east for Charles de Gaulle. Distance is only part of the story, because at busy times traffic decides the journey time from either airport, so send the address you are going to and the quote follows your actual route. Heavy traffic on the day does not change the quoted price.
It may be. Groupe ADP has announced that CDG’s terminals take new numbers on 16 March 2027, and tickets for flights after that date may already use them: Terminal 5 is today’s 2E, Terminal 6 is 2F and Terminal 7 is 2G. No renaming has been announced at Orly, whose terminals are Orly 1 to Orly 4. Send us your flight number and whatever your booking shows.
It can be, especially when the roads are busy. From CDG the RER B takes about 35 minutes into Paris; the Roissybus to Opéra made its last run on 28 February 2026, and the CDG Express to Gare de l’Est is due on 28 March 2027 with a 20-minute non-stop journey. From Orly, metro line 14 reaches Châtelet in under 25 minutes. A private transfer takes you and your luggage from the terminal to your door without changing trains.
Yes. Terminal to terminal covers connections between nearby airports as well as between terminals, in either direction, so send the booking desk your arriving flight and your onward one. You still collect your bags and check in again at Orly, and the road between the two takes about 45 minutes on clear roads and longer in heavy traffic, so give the connection plenty of room.
It could. Orly allows no take-offs or landings between 23:30 and 06:00, and ACNUSA, the authority that oversees airport noise, notes that many late-evening flights that miss Orly’s curfew are diverted to Charles de Gaulle. Your pickup is booked at Orly, so message the booking desk on WhatsApp as soon as the airline confirms a diversion.
Yes, though often you can manage without a car: the CDGVAL train links Terminal 1, Terminal 3 and Terminal 2, halls 2A to 2F are joined by walkways, and the N2 shuttle bus serves 2G. If you would rather move between terminals by car with your luggage, terminal to terminal is one of our services; ask for a quote.
We send a full quote before you pay, usually within two hours, including any late-night, public holiday or short-notice charges. You pay online by secure payment link or bank transfer, and the booking is confirmed once paid. Any tolls on your route are either included in the quote or shown in it as an additional charge; waiting beyond the included time may carry a charge.
Yes, up to 48 hours before your flight under the standard policy. Cancel earlier than that and any costs already incurred are deducted from the refund; within 48 hours, or after a no-show, full charges apply. A few airports and services have their own terms, so check yours when you book.
Waiting time, changes, cancellations and refunds are set out in full in our Terms & Conditions.
