Why Orly works so well for UK-bound pets

Orly sits south of the city, minutes from the Francilienne ring road that bypasses central Paris. That means less time in traffic and a cleaner run to the northern autoroutes - the total Orly-to-London journey is often the fastest of any Paris airport.

The pickup, terminal by terminal

Orly's four terminals are connected and compact. Your chauffeur confirms the exact door by WhatsApp, helps with carriers and luggage, and has water ready for your pet. If you are arriving on a long-haul flight with a dog that has been crated, we take an unhurried first stop before joining the motorway.

Timings you can plan around

Orly to Coquelles is about 2 h 45 min; add 20 minutes for pet check-in, 35 minutes on the shuttle, and roughly 1 h 45 min from Folkestone into London. Most families are home within five hours of leaving the terminal.

Orly's layout in practice

Orly 1-2-3 and Orly 4 are connected by a free shuttle, but with a pet carrier you do not want to ride it - tell us which terminal your flight uses and we meet you inside that arrivals hall. The short-stay car parks sit directly opposite each terminal exit, so from sliding doors to our vehicle is under five minutes, even with a nervous cat and three suitcases.

The drive north: what your pet experiences

From Orly we skirt the capital on the A86 before joining the A1 - about 2 h 45 min to the Coquelles pet check-in. The first hour is the quietest: most pets fall asleep before the péage. We plan one proper stop on the French side, usually a quiet aire with grass, before the terminal. After the 35-minute crossing, Folkestone to your London door is roughly 1 h 30 min more.
