Pro Tips
- CDG's Terminal 2 is a confusing maze — arrive 20 minutes earlier than you think you need for connections.
- RER B is the cheapest way to Paris but can feel hectic with luggage; Le Bus Direct is more comfortable for families.
- The TGV connection at CDG is excellent — travel to London St Pancras (via Eurostar connecting at Lille) without entering Paris.
- Air France's lounges in T2E are genuinely world-class, especially La Première for first-class passengers.
- CDG connections require a full terminal change for some flights — always check which T2 sub-terminal your gate is in.
- Duty-free in T2E has excellent wine and cheese for gifts — bring an empty stomach.
- The CDG TGV station makes CDG ideal as an arrival point for multi-city French rail trips.
