Traveling from Pont de Rungis to Orly Airport

Planning a journey from Pont de Rungis to Orly Airport? The area is close to the airport, but the station’s name can be misleading: Pont de Rungis–Aéroport d’Orly is a RER C station, not a station inside the passenger terminals. You still need an onward connection to reach your flight.

This guide explains the current metro connection, road transfer options and practical steps for a smooth journey. First Class Partner offers a private chauffeur service to and from Orly Airport, with a vehicle suited to your passengers and luggage. We are available 24/7 by reservation.

Understand the Two Station Names

Pont de Rungis–Aéroport d’Orly is served by the RER C. Nearby Thiais–Orly is served by metro line 14. Follow the signed connection between the stations, allowing time for the walk and access to the metro platform.

On line 14, Aéroport d’Orly is the next station after Thiais–Orly in the airport direction. The station names are similar, so check the direction before boarding. Being at Pont de Rungis does not mean that you have already arrived at your terminal.

Public Transportation: RER C and Metro Line 14

From Pont de Rungis to the Airport

Leave the RER C platform and follow signs for the connection to Thiais–Orly metro station.
Allow time for the pedestrian connection and any stairs, elevators or station access routes.
Take metro line 14 toward Aéroport d’Orly.
At the airport, follow signs to your actual terminal and check-in area.

Check the current line 14 route information and service status before departure. An airport journey requires the appropriate ticket or valid pass; do not assume a standard city ticket covers the final station.

Traveling from Central Paris

Depending on your starting point, taking line 14 directly to Aéroport d’Orly may be simpler than traveling via Pont de Rungis. If using the RER C, choose a train that actually serves Pont de Rungis: the line has several branches, and not every train goes there.

Metro line 7 at Villejuif–Louis Aragon does not provide a direct RER C interchange to Pont de Rungis. Plan the complete route with current operator information rather than following an old instruction to change directly from line 7 to the RER C there.

Local Buses and Service Disruptions

Local bus routes may help depending on your precise address and travel date. Check the actual stop, destination and operating hours. Do not rely on an outdated bus number or assume an airport-branded station has a direct bus to every terminal.

Planned works, overnight closures and elevator availability can affect your route. For a flight, include a backup option and sufficient time for both the station connection and airport walking.

Road Transfers from the Pont de Rungis Area

A taxi or prearranged private car service can take you directly from a nearby address to the airport’s appropriate drop-off area. The route depends on your exact starting point, departure terminal, traffic and current road access.

The proximity of Pont de Rungis does not guarantee a fixed 10- or 15-minute journey. Nor is one motorway the correct route for every address. Your driver selects an appropriate route, but road congestion and airport access queues can still cause delays.

Booking an Official Taxi

A taxi can be reserved through a provider. Availability near the station should not be assumed at every hour. Confirm the pick-up address, passenger count and any equipment requirements in advance.

The regulated flat fares for direct Paris–Orly journeys do not automatically apply to a journey beginning at Pont de Rungis, outside Paris. Ask the taxi provider which tariff and authorized charges apply. An old estimate of €20–€30 is not a guaranteed current fare.

Booking a Private Chauffeur

With First Class Partner, the itinerary and price are communicated and agreed before pick-up. Give us your precise meeting address, terminal or flight number, passenger count and luggage details. If your pick-up follows a train arrival, provide the arrival time and agree on an accessible meeting point outside the station.

A private chauffeur service requires a reservation before pick-up. For an airport arrival, flight tracking and a Meet & Greet with a name sign can be arranged according to the confirmed booking instructions and airport access rules.

Which Option Fits Your Journey?

Option	Useful For	Points to Check
RER C and line 14	Travelers arriving by RER C who can manage the connection with their luggage.	Train branch, pedestrian connection, operating hours and airport ticket validity.
Line 14 from Paris	Travelers whose starting address connects conveniently with the metro.	Station access, service disruptions and onward terminal walk.
Taxi	A direct road journey from a local address.	Availability, meeting point, applicable tariff and vehicle capacity.
Private chauffeur	A planned transfer with an agreed vehicle category and itinerary.	Reservation, passenger and luggage details, child seats and confirmed quote.

Comfort, Luggage and Personalized Travel

A reserved road transfer can simplify a journey with large suitcases, children or several passengers. Premium sedans, SUVs and spacious vans are available according to requirements and availability. Tell us about strollers, sports equipment and oversized bags: seating capacity alone does not determine how much luggage a vehicle can carry.

Request child seats during booking and provide the children’s ages. Discuss accessibility requirements separately so vehicle suitability can be confirmed. Airport assistance should be requested through your airline in advance, preferably at least 48 hours before departure.

Your chauffeur assists with luggage and takes you to the vehicle or authorized terminal drop-off point. Onboard amenities depend on the vehicle selected. Additional stops must be discussed so availability and any fare adjustment can be agreed.

Arriving at Orly: Find the Correct Terminal

Check your operating airline and flight information before leaving. Orly has four connected terminal areas, and your check-in location can change. A general airport address is not a substitute for the actual terminal.

At the airport, cafés, shops, passenger information and Wi-Fi support your journey. Lounge access and other services depend on your terminal zone, opening hours and eligibility. If renting a car, confirm the collection location, opening hours and rental conditions in advance.

For onward rail journeys, metro line 14 and the RER B via Antony and Orlyval are different options. The RER B does not directly serve the Orly terminals. Orlybus ended on March 3, 2025, so older references to that service should not be used for current travel planning.

Practical Tips Before You Set Out

Check live service and traffic information.
Confirm the operating airline, terminal and check-in deadline.
Allow time for walking and baggage handling, not only the ride itself.
Keep identification and boarding documents accessible.
Agree on a precise meeting point if your chauffeur collects you near the station.
Use a suitable transport route rather than assuming that cycling or a scooter provides a safe, permitted terminal approach.
