Paris-Orly Airport Terminal 4 Map (Most Up-To-Date)
Paris-Orly Terminal 4 (ORY T4, former Orly Sud) is a compact “island” terminal with a dense central hall and a perpendicular boarding pier, built around strong vertical separation: Arrivals at Level 0 and Departures/Security at Level 1. Most time-loss happens at the landside curb because doors (“Portes”) function like coordinates. Within the main Orly airport complex, Terminal 4 connects to Orly 1/2/3 primarily via Orlyval (Gate K) or a long covered landside walkway.
Map Table
| Level | Key Zones | Ground Transport Doors | Transfer Links |
|---|---|---|---|
| Level 0 | Arrivals, baggage reclaim, customs exit | Porte 48a taxis; Porte 47d buses | Orlyval access Gate K; covered walkway to T3/T2/T1 |
| Level 1 | Departures, check-in, security, concourses | drop-off only lanes | Zone E Schengen; Zone F non-Schengen, passport control |
Paris-Orly Airport Terminal 4 Map Strategy
- Treat this terminal like two stacked terminals: Arrivals must commit to Level 0 for pickups and transit; Departures must commit to Level 1 for check-in, security, and gates.
- Prevent “wrong system” errors by choosing the mode before you move: Orlyval (Gate K) for fast terminal transfers; Porte 47d for buses; don’t hunt for Tram T9 at the airport because the connection is via Bus 183.
- Prevent “wrong level/door” errors by navigating by Porte number, not “Exit” signs: Porte 47d is the bus station curb; Porte 48a is the taxi release point and the reference point for rideshare routing into Parking Pro.
- Assume most inter-terminal moves are landside and may require re-screening unless yellow “Correspondance/Transfer” routing explicitly lists your connection at the arrival-gate decision point.

Terminal 4’s core navigation logic in 2026 still hinges on level discipline (Arrivals Level 0 vs Departures Level 1) and door-precision at the curb. Orlyval remains the fastest terminal-to-terminal connector from Gate K, while the covered landside walkway remains the long-foot option. Ground transport wayfinding is the main pressure point: Porte 47d (buses) and Porte 48a (taxis/rideshare routing) decide outcomes.

What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Orly 4 Arrivals exit to the Orly 1 Departures security entrance using the covered terminal connection?
Walking distance is about 1,200 meters using the covered landside walkway that links Orly 4 → Orly 3 → Orly 2 → Orly 1. The route stays landside the entire way, so it functions as a terminal-to-terminal walk, not an airside sterile transfer.
| Route segment | What you follow | Distance / time |
|---|---|---|
| Orly 4 Arrivals (Level 0) → connector | covered pedestrian link toward Orly 3 | continuous indoor/covered path |
| Orly 3 → Orly 2 → Orly 1 | terminal connector corridors, moving walkways in parts | ~1.2 km total; ~14–15 min with luggage |
| Arrival at Orly 1 Departures | proceed to Departures security entrance | landside approach to security |
Where is the first decision point (named corridor/junction) where a passenger can choose airside vs landside routing when transferring between Orly 4 and Orly 3?
Yellow “Correspondance/Transfer” signage at the arrival-gate exit is the first decision point, immediately after leaving the jet bridge or arrival bus into the terminal corridor. This is where you either commit to transfer routing (if your connection is listed/eligible) or follow white “Sortie/Exit” routing to landside.
The key operational detail is that once you flow past the gate-area split and commit to “Sortie/Exit,” you are functionally on the landside path (passport control/baggage/Level 0), and most onward transfers to Orly 3 become Orlyval-or-walk plus re-screening. The landmark to use is the first overhead sign set at the jet-bridge corridor mouth—yellow “Correspondance” versus white “Sortie”—before you are funneled toward Arrivals processing.
Which floor level is the official rideshare pickup zone (Uber/Bolt-type pickup) for Orly 4?
Level 0 (Arrivals) is the official rideshare pickup level for Orly 4, with pickups geo-fenced to the “Parking Pro” (Professional Parking) zone. The curb at Level 1 is drop-off only, and apps/drivers commonly cancel if you request pickup from the Departures ramp.
The practical landmark is Porte 48a on the Arrivals curb: exit at 48a, then route away from the taxi queue infrastructure to reach Parking Pro rather than waiting in the taxi line. If you are standing in the bus lanes near Porte 47d or on Level 1, you are not in the legal/operational pickup zone for Uber/Bolt-type services at ORY T4.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Orly 4 baggage claim to the Orlyval platform entrance (first access point)?
Walking distance is about 100–150 meters from Orly 4 baggage claim to the first Orlyval access point at Gate K (Porte K) on Level 0. The access is internal, reached from the Arrivals hall without going outside.
The key landmark is the Gate K entrance inside the terminal structure: if you exit to the curb at Porte 47d/48a to look for a “train,” you’ve already made the common failure move and will lose time re-entering or detouring along the exterior. The shortest path stays inside the Arrivals public area from baggage reclaim toward Gate K signage.
Which labeled exit/door from Orly 4 Arrivals leads most directly to the T9 tram stop (without being routed into Orlyval signage first)?
Porte 47d is the most direct Arrivals exit for the T9 connection, because it places you at the bus station curb where Bus 183 departs. The critical dealbreaker is that Tram T9 does not stop at Orly Airport; the T9 link is made by taking Bus 183 from the 47d bus platforms to a T9 stop (such as Orly–Gaston Viens).
Use Porte 47d as your landmark, then locate the correct bay: Bus 183 uses the 47d bus station area (identified in the audit as Stop 4). Avoid the nearby OrlyBus bay (Stop 5) if your intent is the T9 corridor, and don’t follow tram signage inside the terminal expecting “T9”—onsite tram signage points to T7 instead.
Which labeled exit/door from Orly 4 Arrivals is closest to the official taxi queue/stand?
Porte 48a on Level 0 (Arrivals) is the official taxi queue exit for Orly 4. The taxi rank forms immediately outside this door, and official taxi operations are designed around passengers walking to the regulated queue rather than being picked up at random curb points.
The landmark logic is binary at ORY T4: Porte 48a is the taxi release valve, while Porte 47d is the bus curb. If you exit at 47d, you will be in bus lanes with physical separation from the taxi flow, and you’ll have to walk roughly 50–100 meters along the curb line (and past smoking/luggage-cart zones) to reach the head of the official taxi queue at 48a.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from the Orly 4 security exit to Gate F (straightest passenger route)?
Walking distance is about 200–300 meters from the Orly 4 security exit to the Gate F pier using the straightest Level 1 passenger route. The path runs from the central security egress into the Level 1 concourse, through the post-security retail flow, and out along the Gate F corridor.
The key landmark is the Level 1 split between Gate E (Schengen) and Gate F (non-Schengen): entering the wrong queue places you in the wrong sterile zone and can trigger a time-expensive correction. Once you’re post-security in the correct stream, the remaining walk is mostly linear down the pier, with the longest distance to the far end of the F gates.
Where is the passport control location for non-Schengen departures within Orly 4 (zone/area identifier on the terminal layout)?
Passport control is on Level 1 (Departures) in Zone F, marked for Police aux Frontières/Borders in the non-Schengen flow. The control point sits in the outbound processing chain after check-in and before the Zone F security/duty-free threshold.
The landmark triangulation is the Level 1 processing spine: check-in counters → Borders (Police aux Frontières) → security entry into the non-Schengen sterile area feeding Gate F. Passengers looking for this on Level 0 will only encounter inbound arrivals controls, which do not serve departures, so the correct move is to stay on Level 1 and follow Zone F routing.
What is the exact walking distance (meters) from Orly 4 Arrivals to the designated bus stop area used for airport buses (OrlyBus/night buses/other curbside stops) according to the terminal’s ground-transport layout?
Walking distance is about 50–80 meters from the central Arrivals exit area to the main bus stop curb at Porte 47d. The designated airport-bus bay for OrlyBus is identified at the Porte 47d bus station as Stop 5.
The landmark you should lock onto is Porte 47d on Level 0: once outside, read the stop numbering because adjacent bays serve different services. OrlyBus uses Stop 5, while other high-confusion neighbors include Bus 183 at Stop 4 and the Disneyland/Magical Shuttle at Stop 3, all within the same 47d curb complex.
Where is the nearest clearly-marked “Transfer” entry point inside Orly 4 for connecting passengers (the first place the yellow Transfer routing begins)?
Yellow “Correspondance/Transfer” signage at the arrival-gate exit is the first clearly marked transfer entry point in Orly 4. The routing begins immediately when you step off the jet bridge or arrival bus into the terminal corridor, before you merge into the main Arrivals flow.
The landmark is the first overhead sign cluster at the mouth of the gate corridor: yellow “Correspondance” versus white “Sortie/Exit.” Missing that gate-area sign set is the common failure mode, because once you follow “Sortie/Exit” you are committed toward landside processing (and most onward terminal transfers become Orlyval or the covered walkway plus re-screening).
