Just in case, go to the boarding terminal, make sure that you have completely passed passport control, in my case, the document check was after the duty free shops and there was a queue.
I was there with a transfer from Charles de Gaulle, with an overnight stay. The airport is dying out at night, sleeping on not very comfortable chairs, but it is possible. Some doors are open if you smoke. All shops and cafes are closed.
We queued for registration for 2 hours! We thought that we would be late for boarding according to the specified time. They ran through the entire airport. It turned out that the landing had not yet begun, although there were 10 minutes left before departure. There was no announcement about the flight delay. After passing the boarding control, they stood in control for a long time - they were not allowed on the plane!
There is no worse airport in Europe, all flights departing to all destinations are in the same queue. The time takes about 3 hours. The organization is just terrible, it's better to fly out of Charles de Gaulle.
It's a terrible airport. Even if you do not take into account the fact that there is no RER for it, then it has a lot of disadvantages. There are no waiting areas as such, if you are waiting for registration or escorting someone, then you will have to stand, because there are about three benches for the entire terminal. There are no normal places for lunch, and if there are, they don't work at night. So are the shops. It is convenient to fly there only if you arrive before departure, so as not to stand waiting for the plane for several hours. The toilet is only on the second floor and is quite small. The airline staff doesn't care about your problems at all. They will offer to write to the site with all comments. No one is responsible for anything and no one cares. I do not advise it, even considering that many complain about the loss of luggage.
There were no difficulties with orientation in the aeropyurt. The staff look very relaxed, the flight was delayed for an hour. The passengers were kept on the plane, although they apologized three times and informed about takeoff.
The airport is small, which is a plus - they give out luggage quickly. One of the disadvantages is that there are no terminals inside the airport (for example, in the baggage claim area) for buying transport tickets.
It's a strange place, right after arriving from Moscow you get into the transit zone, where homeless people sit and armed soldiers walk, and after registration there is comfort and Europe. But the schedule with the gate changed twice, and I had to run to different parts of the airport.
The navigation inside the building is good. But it is not finalized from the outside. We drove for a long time, circled around - looking for the right parking lot to rent a rented car.
It is convenient to book a transfer from Orly airport, a Russian-speaking person arrives in a Mercedes, they take you to any hotel perfectly, it costs 80 euros...

Passengers play the piano, there is a hall with Playstation consoles. The waiting time flew by unnoticed!)
We arrived at the airport in the evening by taxi and expected an early departure. Quiet, clean, the lights are dimmed. Unfortunately, the seats are arranged in such a way that it is impossible to lie down.
Cars have replaced people everywhere. You check in yourself, you hand over your luggage to the tape. It's good that there is a menu in Russian and there are airport employees who will help
A very unclear airport. Upon arrival, they were not allowed out of the building without explanation. They don't speak English. The airport is a checkpoint, what kind of security can we talk about? It is considered a dangerous place among the locals. When departing, it is not written anywhere which exit, they ran around the airport in a panic.
A clear and clean airport. The airport can be reached by an automatic train (to the electric train), which also carries passengers between terminals or by bus.
We flew from this airport to Pisa. They examined us well sooo carefully. They rummaged through all the suitcases. Before boarding the plane, it was built in 2 queues. Passengers in places in the first part of the plane entered through the sleeve. Those who got seats in the back of the plane were taken out by stairs to the street and let into the plane through a pull-out ramp. Strange. If we hadn't been lined up, boarding would have been faster.
To get into terminal 4, you need to complete a serious quest, in English, and even more so they do not speak Russian. But we were not made with a finger))) We made it!
Everything is very well organized, despite the large flow of passengers, everything turns out to pass quickly, there is no feeling of mediocre waiting.
When boarding began, our exit was not announced, although initially another one was announced. We ran, tongue over shoulder, to the other end of the hall at 12 o'clock at night((
A comfortable airport, you can take the tram to the metro In Paris for 1.49 if you buy T+ tickets at the vending machine, and then take the subway for a new T+ ticket
Standard. I was surprised by the abundance of flights from North Africa coinciding with the flight from Moscow. As a result, 2 hours at passport control. The rest is without question, everything is thought out
An old small airport, from which the largest airbuses take off. The waiting rooms are tiny. When two flights are going, you can stand at attention. Upon arrival, you lose at least 30-40 minutes in the exit queue to get to the baggage claim.
A small, understandable airport for those who do not speak French. 4 - for the fact that there were no pastries in the priority pass hall! It's in France!
