Call time: what is it?
Your call time is the time you can start to check your luggage at our counters. Any sooner and it’s too early to do it. So it’s the time when you can arrive at the airport. At Paris Orly, you can arrive 3 and 4 hours before your departure in case of a busy airport, like holidays For security purposes, it is required that you be present to check your luggage. So are you ready to leave?
Don’t miss the check-in deadline (CID)!
The check-in deadline (CID) is the deadline after which your seat on the flight is no longer guaranteed.
