CDG has three terminals, and Terminal 2 alone has seven halls with their own arrivals areas. Orly is one connected terminal in four parts. Here is what to expect at each end of your transfer.
Air France and its SkyTeam partners land in halls 2E, 2F and 2G, and halls 2A to 2D serve many other airlines. After passport control and baggage claim, you come out into the arrivals area of your hall.
Terminal 1 is a circular building used mainly by Star Alliance airlines. Terminal 3 is a smaller terminal for charter and low-cost flights. Both have their own arrivals area.
We drop you at Orly departures, at the terminal your next flight uses. Orly 1, 2 and 3 sit together in one building, and a covered walkway leads on to Orly 4.
