Paris: comparing CDG, Orly and Beauvais
HopTrip · Reviewed
The name Paris does not specify one airport or one fare. Comparing tickets, separate Charles de Gaulle (CDG), Orly (ORY) and Beauvais (BVA). Also save the terminal and arrival place for transport to the city.

Three airports, different distances
Paris je t’aime gives an approximate of about 25 km for CDG, 14 km for Orly, and 85 km for Beauvais. It also mentions Le Bourget, serving mainly business aviation. In a typical comparison of passenger tickets, focus on the airport code actually indicated in the offer.
These distances are not journey times. For BVA, include both the longer transfer and the final journey from the coach stop to your accommodation before comparing airfare savings.
CDG and Orly: check the airport ticket
Île-de-France Mobilités indicates RER B for CDG and metro 14 or Orlyval for Orly. Paris Region <> Airports is designed for such journeys. Check the validity of your ticket or subscription; do not assume that an ordinary city ticket includes an airport station.
Beauvais requires a separate plan
The city's guide describes the Aérobus connections and the railway variant through the Beauvais station with an additional bus section. Before booking check the current shuttle arrival point in Paris, purchase terms and course for your flight time. Do not transfer the CDG/ORY railway fare to BVA.
Late arrival and event date
For an evening flight, compare the last transfer with your accommodation’s check-in time. If the outbound and return flights use different airports, keep two separate transfer plans. During holidays and events, check accommodation, attraction bookings and transport engineering notices; the season alone does not mean an option will be cheaper.
