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.

Same price as the métro and slower to Châtelet, so it earns its place only for the RER B corridor: Denfert-Rochereau, Saint-Michel, Châtelet–Les Halles, Gare du Nord and the change to Charles de Gaulle.

The last shuttle leaves at 23:35 and the first at 06:00, the operator's own figures, which makes this the earliest thing to stop at night.

The change at Antony is a real one, with gates: keep the ticket, and remember the RER B leg is only priced here on the airport ticket, not on an ordinary EUR 2.55 single.

A Navigo pass that is valid on line 14 to the airport is not valid here. Anyone on a weekly or monthly pass should take the métro.
