Orly : West or South terminal ?

ORY ^ ^
There are 2 terminals at Orly : Orly Ouest and Orly Sud. Orly Ouest is a kind of domestic hub for Air France, and is also used by Iberia and Air Portugal.

Orly Sud is the oldest terminal (Paris most visited monument during the 60's ). Though it was used by AA, DL and US until the late 90's, it is not considered very convenient and is now used for holiday flights and companies like Easyjet or French charter airlines flying to Guadeloupe or Martinique. Most French passengers prefer Orly Ouest but this is a kind of "Air France area only" and I don't think AF would let major competitors use these facilities (in which thay have invested a lot in the recent years)...
