Paris's functional alternative
Orly is more manageable than CDG but less modern. The terminals are dated but functional. Security moved reasonably well. Food options are limited compared to CDG but include some decent French cafes. The OrlyVal and metro connection works though requires transfers. Wi-Fi was adequate. Staff were typically Parisian in helpfulness - varied. Bathrooms needed attention. Fine for domestic or short European flights but wouldn't choose it for long-haul.
Adequate but aging
Flew to Orly from London. The terminal felt dated compared to modern airports. Immigration was professional and moved steadily. Baggage came quickly which was nice. The taxi queue was well-organized. Food choices were limited and expensive. Wi-Fi worked adequately. Bathrooms were maintained. The airport does its job but without any particular charm. Fine for a quick trip but wouldn't want to spend extended time here.
Convenient for South Paris
Local who uses Orly for domestic flights. It's smaller and less overwhelming than CDG. Check-in and security are usually quicker. The tram connection is convenient if you're in southern Paris. Food options are okay, nothing special. The terminals could use renovation but are functional. Wi-Fi works fine. Staff are hit or miss. Baggage claim is faster than CDG in my experience. Not glamorous but gets the job done efficiently.
