Going into Orly and should be going into CDG...Help!

I made an Air France reservation from Toulouse to Paris into Orly and I should be going into CDG.....can someone please tell me how to get from one airport to the other without spending a fortune? It would be over $300.oo to change the ticket. Thanks for your help.

The RER B links the two airports. Travel time between the two is approximately one hour. The RER fare is 19.65€ between the two airports, including the Orlyval shuttle.

You take an Air France bus between the two. It costs about $25.00.

Air France used to operate a shuttle between the two airports, and I think that's still the case. Look at Line 3 here:

The RER is one option but I prefer the Air France bus #3. It´s about a one hour bus ride, the driver will handle your luggage for you. Cost is 19.50€ or 18€ if you purchase a ticket in advance:

Then again, the RER doesn't get in traffic jams.

Why don't you try to get as much of a refund as possible with your current reservation, and....

Book EasyJet from Toulouse to CDG?

I made up a date in June and the price is around 40-60 euros including admin fee.

Luggage is another 11 euros per bag.

This would save you a lot of hassle and running around.

Sometimes you have to pay to not go through these things twice.

Assuming you have an international flight out of CdG, ask Air France to change your internal flight. It may cost you, but balance the extra fee against the eternal hassle of transit from Orly to CdG.

Thank you all for your valued advice. I'm actually flying out the next day so no rush to get to CDG but I do have a reservation for that night at an airport hotel. Mary
