Enjoy at The Club SFO lounge at Terminal 1, then walk only 10 minutes to Terminal A which is adjacent to the French Bee gate.

Use the self-check-in kiosk if you have a few check-in items. You can also ask for them to check your carry-on bags if you don't absolutely need to have them with you. Always be kind to the agents, they have stressful jobs and a little kindness goes a long way.

Pack light, a carry on is perfect for a week in Paris and you’ll save time by not waiting for your baggage. Also Orly airport is not as busy and has convenient transportation to all places
