Mobility and disability

Paris Aéroport makes accessibility a priority

Prepare for your flight and move independently around our terminals by following our advice and discovering all of the adapted services available at our airports. Whether at Paris-Charles de Gaulle or Paris-Orly, disabled persons and people with reduced mobility (PRM), or any person with temporary or permanent mobility issues, can get around the terminals with ease thanks to the layout of our facilities and the dedicated lanes at checkpoints.  


Important information


Be prepared and arrive early: please arrive at the airport at least 2 hours before your short- or medium-haul flight (3 hours before a long-haul flight) before your flight's departure time. To save time, consider checking in online with your airline.
 

picto-bagages-preparerEnquire about the transportation of medical equipment or specific baggage: only the airline can inform you about the terms and conditions for transporting your additional baggage, such as medical equipment and personal wheelchairs. This equipment, just like other baggage, must be checked in. 


picto-adminsitration-papierYour health condition requires you to take medication: bring your doctor’s prescription confirming your current treatment/medication. You will be asked for it when you pass through security control. 


If your are travelling with your own wheelchair: contact your airline for the terms and conditions for transporting your equipment on board the aircraft. Please go to the Mobility Assistance area in your departure terminal to organise your journey to the boarding gate. You will have priority at security and border control. When it’s time to board, the airline you are travelling with will collect your wheelchair just before you board the aircraft. On arrival, you will collect your wheelchair upon exiting the aircraft. This process depends on the terminal of departure.
