Why the taxi flat fare remains the best choice

The Paris ↔ Orly flat fare at €36-44 is the cheapest of all Paris airport flat fares (vs €56-65 for CDG). With no night or Sunday surcharge, it easily beats the metered taxi for early-morning or late-night flights.

The metro 14 extended to Orly since June 2024 (Airport Ticket at €10.30) is unbeatable for a solo traveller with cabin luggage only. But for 2 people with suitcases, the €36-44 taxi works out at €18-22 per head, comparable to the metro, with no transfers or wrestling luggage through corridors.

Times to avoid for Paris → Orly

The south of Paris is generally less congested than the north (CDG), but some time slots remain critical. Plan ahead for weekend departures and major holiday crossovers.

  • Friday 4pm-7pm — weekend departures via A6 heavily loaded
  • Monday-Thursday 7:45am-9am — southern ring road slow near Bercy
  • Sunday 5pm-9pm — weekend returns + domestic flights
  • After an RATP strike — overflow from metro 14 onto roads

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Paris ↔ Orly Airport taxi flat fare.

Does the flat fare apply at all hours?

Yes, the Paris ↔ Orly flat fare (€36 Left Bank, €44 Right Bank) applies 24/7, with no night, Sunday or public-holiday surcharge. For a 6am flight or a return after midnight, the flat fare is therefore always cheaper than the metered fare, which would climb 17% on tariff D.

Why is the Left Bank cheaper than the Right Bank?

Orly is located south of Paris. The Left Bank (5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, 15th) is closer to the airport, hence a flat fare of €36. The Right Bank (1st to 4th, 8th to 12th, 16th to 20th) is further away, hence a flat fare of €44. It is the opposite for CDG (Right Bank closer).

How long does it take to reach Orly?

25 to 30 minutes outside peak hours via the A6a over 22-25 km. During peak hours (Friday evening or Sunday evening), allow 45 to 60 minutes. For an 8am departure, leave Paris around 6am. For a 7pm flight, leave at 4pm to avoid the Friday peak.

Metro 14 or taxi: which option to choose?

Metro 14 extended to Orly (since June 2024) costs €10.30 with the Airport Ticket. It is the cheapest for a solo trip with cabin luggage. For 2 or more people, the €36-44 taxi becomes competitive pro rata (€18-22 per head). For flights outside metro hours (before 5:30am or after 1:15am) or with hold luggage, the taxi remains essential.

Does the flat fare apply from the suburbs?

No. The €36-44 flat fare applies ONLY between central Paris (1st to 20th arrondissement) and Orly. For pickups in Boulogne, Issy, Vitry or any municipality outside Paris, the ride is calculated on the meter. See our dedicated pages (Hauts-de-Seine, Val-de-Marne, Essonne) for precise fares from the suburbs.

Do I need to book in advance?

For a pickup before 6:30am, advance booking is recommended to guarantee a taxi at your door. During the day, 30-60 minutes' notice is enough. For Orly arrivals, free flight tracking lets the driver pick you up at the terminal exit based on the actual landing time, even if delayed.
