I've been to Orly before and had no issues. So the question is then, are there any non-stop flights from the United States or Canada to Orly. I would be more than happy to stop over somewhere on the way if I could fly direct to Orly instead of CDG (yes..its that bad).
Thanks for any info

In the past there were nonstops to Orly. When AA started nonstop service from DFW to Paris in the 80's, they originally wanted to serve CDG but were forced by the French authorities to fly to Orly (widely considered the "stepchild" airport at the time) instead. After years of building this into a successful route, the French authorities then reversed themselves and forced them to move to CDG. I would choose Orly any day over CDG.
