Orly Airport Terminal 4 (Orly 4): The 2026 Guide

It sits roughly 800 m from Orly 1–3 and is reached by a free OrlyVal shuttle stop or a signed walk along the connector.

Orly 4 Layout: Check-in, Gates and Lounges
Orly 4 is organised over a few levels around a single concourse:
| Area | Where | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Check-in | Zones 41–48 (49 at the Arche) | Airline desks and bag drop |
| Security | After check-in | Feeds the gate F boarding area |
| Boarding | Gates F | Non-Schengen and long-haul stands |
| Lounges | After security | Primeclass (Level 3), Extime (Level 2), Royal Air Maroc Zenith (area F) |
Because Orly 4 is the international hall, this is also where passport control and the new EES biometric checks apply on arrival — the part of the journey most worth escorting past.
The Orly Terminal 4 Exterior: Drop-off and Arriving by Car
Arriving at Orly 4 from the outside, the building is marked by the Arche at its western end (near check-in zone 49). Key exterior features:
- Kiss-and-fly / drop-off runs along the terminal frontage — brief stops only; use the dedicated short-stay lanes.
- The OrlyVal viaduct runs along the northern façade, with the “Orly 4” shuttle station feeding into the baggage-claim area via Gate K.
- Tram T7 stops nearby at the Aéroport d’Orly stop — the budget approach from the southern suburbs.
- For a pre-booked driver, Orly 4’s separate frontage means you’ll want a clear meeting point agreed in advance (see where to be dropped off and picked up at Orly).
If you’re driving in and dropping someone for a long-haul flight, factor in that Orly 4 is a standalone building — don’t head for Orly 1–3 by mistake.
Fast Track at Orly 4
Orly 4’s non-Schengen status is exactly why it queues. On arrival, passengers from Morocco, Algeria, the Caribbean or the Indian Ocean hit EES passport control, which can run 60–90 minutes at peak. On departure, the security and passport lanes stack up before the long-haul banks.
A Fast Track Orly 4 escort covers both directions:
- Arriving into Orly 4? An arrival greeter meets you at the gate and walks you through priority passport control to baggage and the exit.
- Departing from Orly 4? A departure fast-track lane speeds you through check-in support and security.
