To avoid any setbacks, we recommend arriving early, whether your flight departs from Paris-Orly Airport or Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Being there on time allows you to handle check-in, security checks and boarding without stress.

Plan to arrive about 2 hours in advance for domestic or European flights, and 3 hours if travelling outside the Schengen area. This is the best way to start your Vueling journey in the best possible conditions.

Check your travel documents before leaving Paris airports

Before your Vueling flight, make sure you have the correct documents, whether you are departing from Orly or Charles de Gaulle. This will prevent any complications during check-in or boarding.

For flights within France or the Schengen area, a valid ID card or passport is sufficient. For destinations outside the Schengen area, a valid passport is required, and a visa may be needed depending on your nationality. The name on your documents must match exactly the name on your booking. For up-to-date information, visit our travel documents guide.
