Which UK airports fly to Orly?

There are 3 most popular routes from the United Kingdom to Paris - Orly Airport: From London Gatwick Airport with an average flight time of 1h 20m. From Edinburgh Airport with an average flight time of 2h 02m. From Manchester Airport with an average flight time of 1h 46m.



While Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is the main international hub, Paris Orly (ORY) is a preferred choice for travelers heading to the south of Paris. From the UK, the primary gateway is London Gatwick (LGW), where carriers like Vueling and easyJet operate frequent daily services. London City (LCY) also offers business-friendly connections to Orly via ITA Airways or British Airways (depending on seasonal schedules). Outside of London, direct options are more limited as most regional airports prefer CDG; however, seasonal charters or low-cost carriers occasionally run routes from Manchester (MAN) or Bristol (BRS). By 2026, Orly has become even more attractive due to the completion of the Grand Paris Express (Line 14 extension), which allows travelers to reach central Paris in under 20 minutes, making the flight from Gatwick often more convenient for city-break travelers than the longer commute from CDG.
