Orly Airport on a shoestring 2008

8 years ago we went to Paris using Air Berlin. We landed at Orly Airport and we took bus 183 to Porte de Choisy. From there we took a tram to Stade charlety. You just need a single ticket to perform this trip.

Then we walked to Ibis Hotel nearby Gentily. The bus is very cheap less than 2 euro and bring us from Zone 4 to Zone 1. The next day we bought a Mobilis day ticket to Disneyland.

We avoided the Orly bus as it will me more costly to travel to Gentily. In 2013 a tram line 7 from the airport is open to Villejuif.

Basically from the airport you have the option of taking local bus, Orlyval, Orlybus, shuttle bus to RER C Ponte de Rungis and Tram line 7.

The t+ ticket allows you to travel on:
  • metro lines
  • RER lines (RATP and SNCF) within Paris (zone 1)
  • Ile-de-France bus lines (RATP and OPTILE), except Orlybus and Roissybus (see the specific conditions below for the Noctilien network and lines with special fares: 299, 350 and 351)
  • tramway lines (RATP and SNCF)
  • the Montmartre funicular
The following types of connections are possible with this ticket:
  • metro/metro
  • metro/RER and RER/RER within Paris
  • bus/bus (including between the RATP and OPTILE networks), bus/tram and tram/tram for 90 minutes between the first and last validation
Please note: it is not possible to make metro/bus, metro/tram, RER/bus and RER/tram connections using the same t+ ticket.

What is happening to MAS

I never took Mas before. So far only took firefly. Currently Mas is partnering with Emirates for long haul flights to middle East, Europe and Africa.

However for the average Malaysian we can assume that they will also have the choice of flying via changi and bkk via one stop transit or direct using aax.
