I mean, laughable months later when you can appreciate the absurdity of it all. Terminal 2 is a breeze to fly from.

Add to that the fact that you can actually see la Tour Eiffel both beforeyou land and while you<br />re walking to the terminal, and it ranks right near the top for great airport experiences. Orly West wasn't so great, but you still save about €10 to €15 on taxi fare.Starmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12386841450183061541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-85945201975646870812009-11-17T08:20:38.412+01:002009-11-17T08:20:38.412+01:00@The Duchess - wow, that is a big difference. How ...@The Duchess - wow, that is a big difference. How are they transferring between the two? With the Air France buses? <br /><br />And Walt, that actually seems like a long time to me! If you'd flown into Orly, you probably could've cut that time in half. It'd be 25-30min to get to Denfert Rochereau, and then from there it's only 7 stops to Austerlitz (but you'd have to change lines once, which might be a pain if you've got lots of luggage). But as you can tell, I'm really not a huge fan of CDG - it's big and very poorly organized/sign-marked (though they have made an effort with the newer terminals).Ksamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05991667611234163617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-17680571496285187272009-11-17T08:08:11.468+01:002009-11-17T08:08:11.468+01:00I've only flown intra-europe once through CDG,...I've only flown intra-europe once through CDG, but I've rarely had a bad experience at CDG on my international flights.<br /><br />Just last week I arrived from the US, got off the plane, easy through passport control, my bags were among the first to come out, I was out of there and on the RER B in no time (I had my train ticket before I left).<br /><br />I was in Paris Austerlitz exactly 2 hours after the plane landed. And that included the extra time on the RER due to the <i>movement sociale</i>.<br /><br />On the other hand, I've never been through the Orly airport. Sounds like something to try!wcshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551283829616757577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-81499516361086942692009-11-16T23:23:20.769+01:002009-11-16T23:23:20.769+01:00Thanks for reminding me of the smaller Paris-regio...Thanks for reminding me of the smaller Paris-region airport... I find myself needing to get to Manchester (by way of any northern England airport, preferably Liverpool) in late December but none of the budget airlines I've been looking at work with Orly... Do you happen to know of any airlines I might want to investigate?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2394835278337306813.post-74752712539251254612009-11-16T22:13:29.443+01:002009-11-16T22:13:29.443+01:00Flight from Montpellier to CDG, one way, 300+ euro...Flight from Montpellier to CDG, one way, 300+ euros, Montpellier to Orly, 70 euros! I've just booked a ticket for my dad and uncle for January. Only slight detail, they then have transfer to CDG, but with the transfer costing 45 euros, it's still well cheaper!The Duchesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973296361399409747noreply@blogger.com
