CDG help please
 
I was just looking over my flight schedule for an upcoming trip. I was already a bit apprehensive about having just a one hour layover at CDG, but now I can see that I will have to change terminals too!! My flight from IST comes into 2E and my flight to Houston goes from 2A. As most of you know this would be a tight connection even if I weren't changing terminals. But by looking at a map, 2A seems to be on the other side of the world from 2E. The only possible saving grace is that I will be traveling on a Tuesday in December, so maybe the airport won't be so busy?

Evidently this is a legal connection so it must be doable, but I need to know the fastest way to do it. The last time I was at CDG I rode a bus from one terminal to the next, but I wasn't pressed for time on that trip. Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance.

You should still ride the airside bus because other methods will require going through French immigration twice.

That bus runs clockwise, so 2A is just two stops from 2E.

Hi rkkwan,

That's a big relief, thanks. Do you think my luggage has a chance of making the connection?

The chance of your baggage making it is even higher than you.

According to this http://www.cdgfacile.com/pages/navet...ce_cdgpag.html one of the airside shuttle routes no longer stops at 2A & 2B. It looks like the one that still goes to 2A only stops at 2E main terminal(?).

However, the English version of the site still shows both shuttle routes stopping at 2A, 2B and both parts of 2E http://www.easycdg.com/pages/cdg_tra...uttlespag.html

I'm assuming the French version is more up to date.
