A new southern weekend is scheduled
During September, I had seen an AF promotion for flights in France and Europe from €40 per trip, so I find flights at times that suit me more or less and will only have to add a few euros for seat reservation.
The car park is reserved at Orly as well as the rental of a car in Nice with Hertz.
Routing will be very simple.
Flight routing
- 1Paris ORY - Nice NCE - Air France - Airbus A321 - Economy

direction orly airport
I have reserved in the Orly 2 car park which avoids the slowdown at the entrance to the zone 3 drop-off point.


Not very easy to find the parking.

Level -1 is full, level - 2 and -3 closed, I park on level - 4


Take a lift to departure level

The companies return to their original terminals but you still have to show proof of flight to enter the terminal.

Exit in Orly 1 near Iberia counters.

Now walking to gates C



Access to hall B is still closed.

A lot of shops remain closed.



But, the security check giving access to doors C is open, no need to go through Hall 3 anymore.



Somme people on the place.

Especially for the AF-KLM low cost Transavia.

If you want to check in a bag, it's here.


This way is closed for me, i have to go back.

This way is the good way.

I go quickly through security check.

Eating before flying, i have no accès to lounge.

Here we are, this part of the airport is much less pleasant than the new terminal building.

Il fou like, you can find a traveling bonus at the end of the french edition of this report here https://flight-report.com/fr/report/56057/air-france-af6220-paris-ory-nice-nce
Thanks for sharing! It's nice to see USB on most of the Métropole fleet now, though it would have been nice if they just changed out those Recaro seats altogether when they refurbished the interiors. I hope they redid the padding because the seats were already hard years ago last time I flew on one with these seats.
Good thing the flight was mostly empty so Sylvester got his own seat!
Thanks for sharing!
