๐ข Terminal Information
Paris Orly is arranged into two connected terminal zones: Orly 1-2-3 forms a combined building for most Schengen traffic, while Orly 4 (the former South Terminal) handles a mix of Schengen and long-haul leisure flights. The buildings are linked landside and airside by wide corridors, making it possible to walk between all gates without exiting security.
From the central security areas in Orly 1-2-3, walks to the farthest gates generally run 8โ12 minutes; the passage to Orly 4 adds another 5โ7 minutes, aided by moving walkways. Landside, Orlyval and shuttle buses connect the terminals with the RER B and tram stops, and elevators are present at each level change.
Security and passport control are grouped by departure zones, with dedicated Family/Priority and PARAFE biometric eGates to speed flows. Waits average 10โ25 minutes depending on time of day; peak holiday charter waves in Orly 4 can create longer lines, so arriving early is prudent for non-Schengen flights that require both security and immigration.
Arriving non-Schengen passengers clear immigration and customs in their arrival zone before exiting to baggage reclaim; Schengen arrivals proceed directly to baggage claim. Airside transfers between Schengen and non-Schengen gates within Orly require passing through passport control but typically do not need a second security check if you remain in the sterile corridor.
Amenities span multiple lounges (Air France lounges in Orly 3 and Orly 4, Icare Lounge in Orly 1-2-3), extensive dining from Paul bakeries to French bistros, and duty-free shopping in both zones. Family rooms and baby-changing facilities sit near most restrooms, Orly Play areas are located near Gates A and E, and the terminals provide wide corridors, tactile paving, and reserved seating for reduced-mobility travelers.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow time for interโterminal walks and passport control for NonโSchengen.

๐ข Terminal Information
Agen La Garenne Airport (AGF) in France functions as a small, regional airport, primarily serving domestic flights and general aviation for the city of Agen and its surrounding areas. Crucially, the airport *does not host scheduled commercial airlines*, meaning all air travel operates on a non-scheduled basis. Its terminal facilities are extremely rudimentary, typically consisting of a single, compact terminal building that provides basic amenities for passenger processing. The layout is straightforward and integrated, with clearly defined areas for check-in and a simple security screening point, leading directly to the departure gate. All essential services are contained within this singular structure, meaning there are no complex inter-terminal connections or transfers. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically just a few minutes from entrance to aircraft, ensuring a quick and uncomplicated passenger experience.\n\nSecurity procedures at AGF adhere to national regulations for regional airports, involving standard screening protocols for both carry-on and checked baggage, along with personal checks. Given the limited flight schedule and moderate passenger volume, wait times at security checkpoints are generally short, rarely exceeding 10-15 minutes during peak periods. As AGF handles domestic traffic, there are no international immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be processed at larger international airports in France if connecting from an international flight. The emphasis of security and operational processes is on facilitating smooth and efficient domestic air travel within the region.\n\nAmenities at Agen La Garenne Airport are basic but designed to cater to the essential needs of regional travelers. There are no airline lounges. Comfortable seating is available in the waiting areas. Dining options typically include a small cafรฉ or snack bar, offering beverages and light meals, with limited choices reflecting the airport's regional status. Retail facilities are also modest, possibly including a small convenience store for travel essentials or local souvenirs. Accessibility features are rudimentary, primarily consisting of ground-level access throughout the small terminal building. Specialized assistance for passengers with reduced mobility would need to be coordinated in advance with their specific airline. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are not commonly available. Free Wi-Fi connectivity might be offered in designated areas, though its availability can vary.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow adequate time for connections. Check with airline for specific requirements.
