CDG Airport Question
 

From reading the boards, it sounds like this airport is a nightmare.

I am flying Zurich - CDG, then changing planes CDG - Seychelles.

We have a 1.5 hour layover. This seems tight, so I want to make sure I know what terminals we are landing in and how to maneuver between them quickly.

The tickets do not indicate terminal arrival or departure information. And I have checked the CDG website, but I cannot figure out how to get this info.

Could any of you experienced CDG travelers help me determine what terminals I will be using for these flights?

Thank you!

I could speculate, but I might be wrong because you haven't even said which airline(s). Wouldn't it be smarter to call the airlines and ask?

I did email Air France 3 days ago with my question, but as yet have gotten no reply.

That website is problematic as it is only in English on the US site, which is only to be used for the US reservations, which this ticket was not.

Anyway, I will take your suggestion, St Cirq and attempt to phone them.

I think that you should be Okay. I am flying from Rome to Newark in June, and I have 50 minutes to switch planes. I think that all international flights route through terminal 2. there is an A,B,C,D and F component to this terminal, but everything is connected with moveable walkways, and i dont think that there is any passport control between connecting international flights, if you stay in the terminal. contact your travel agent, but they generally wont book a flight unless the connection was feasable.

That should give you the info you need.

Have a wonderful time in the Seychelles; my daughter and her husband went there for their honeymoon, and it sounds like a lovely place to relax and enjoy nature.

Not sure but try going to http://www.amadeus.net/home/new/index.htm and check my trip link. Should give you the info.

All Air France flights go into Terminal 2, and the sub-terminals A, C, D, E) are all well connected and accessible by walking. Other international airlines (United, etc.) arrive at Terminal 1, which is a bus-ride away from Terminal 2 and less convenient.

WOW!

That was so fast - I found the exact terminal locations with those website links. And I feel much more comfortable with access in Terminal 2.

Thanks all. Another Fodors success story....

Question. I will be in Bayeux with a rental car in June. Can I leave early in the morning, drive to CDG, turn in car and safely make a 6:55 pm flight on Air France? Should I plan on spending a night near the airport instead?

Those are the information for today.
