Is 4:30 enough time to transfer from Orly to CDG?

I want to book a flight from Bucharest to Buenos Aires and I've found a good price with Air France which has a layover in Paris.

The only problem is that I should arrive on Orly airport and continue the next segment from CDG airport.

There are 4h30m between the flights.

Is it a safe option? Also, should I take my luggage with me between the airports or would the air company do that?

Best Answer

The two airports are on opposite sides of the city and the minimum journey time seems to be around an hour, depending on the transfer type (bus, private taxi etc). https://www.paristoolkit.com/airport/paris_cdg_orly_bus.htm Personally I don’t think it’s a safe option.
