Early Paris flight. Yikes.......

[dogpoundmike]

We fly from Paris Orly (Terminal Sud) To Rome Ciampino at 7 am on a Thursday. Will we be able to find transportation from our hotel, the Hotel Notre-Dame Address: 51 rue de malte, Paris 75011 at an early hour? I think we need to be 2 hrs before flight time. I would fire our travel agent, but it was me! Please help us out with a suitable plan.
Regards, Mike

I took the same flight. We slept in the airport the night before because of the early check-in. We took Bus 285 from the end of Line 7 (V-J metro station) to the airport which was only 10-15 minutes away and got there around 9-10 PM. It was a pretty comfty night. Comfortable chairs and plenty of security. As long as you have proof of your flight plus your passport you'll be fine.

Your other options are - you might look into an airport hotel that provides an EARLY shuttle or call for a taxi. If you're travelling with other people, a taxi might be reasonable but I don't know if there are luggage surcharges.

Aaaah, I remember those Posts PONR!

Mike, here are the Posts: pretravel.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=Accommodation&action=display&n=1&thread=6636&page=1 and pretravel.proboards1.com/index.cgi?board=Transportation&action=display&n=1&thread=4831&page=1 for a bit more info/ideas, but as PONR indicates, if you're up for it, sleeping in the airport might be the way to go for you.
