EUR 14 is the airport fare and it is the whole reason this page exists: the same ride from the next station in would cost EUR 2.55, and the tram from Orly 4 reaches the same Châtelet for EUR 4.60 in about eighty minutes.

The ticket is sold only on a phone or on a Navigo Easy card (about EUR 2), and a card that already holds ordinary métro tickets cannot take an airport ticket. Buy it in the Île-de-France Mobilités app before you reach the gates.

A Navigo Jour day pass is NOT valid on line 14 to or from the airport, though it is valid on the tram and the night buses. Navigo weekly, monthly and annual passes for all zones are.

The hours above are the airport's, and its own page gives two different last trains, 00:00 and 00:30. Treat midnight as the last safe departure.

The station is under Orly 3, on the Orly 1-2-3 side. From Orly 4 it is a walk or the free inter-terminal shuttle; allow for it before trusting the 26 minutes.

From four travelers the Right Bank taxi is cheaper than four of these tickets; from three, the Left Bank taxi is.

Orlyval puts the whole trip at 1 hour 15 minutes on average, change included; the two rides alone are about an hour.

At Antony take an RER B signed for Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2. It calls at Aéroport CDG 1 (Terminals 1 and 3) first and ends at CDG 2 (Terminals 2A to 2G) two minutes later: get off at the one for your terminal.

Orlyval runs every day until 23:35, but the RER B to the airport can stop sooner on weekday evenings: plan on the 22:07 Orlyval from Monday to Friday.

On 27 October 2026 the Orlyval closes at 21:00 for track works; the way to the city that evening is metro line 14.
