My flight will be arriving at CDG at 11am. Should I get the 14:01 or 16:01 train from Gare de Lyon? (I can't wait until I get there-- when the 17 euro Prems sell out, it will cost too much).

If your plane is on time, you should be able to make the 14:01 train. I've done it easily in the past, taking the Air France Bus to Gare de Lyon.
The bus ride takes about an hour. However, with the PREM, just hope that everything is on schedule. I had to make that same kind of decision for a trip in Oct. to Reims. I've cut it close many times, and usually seem to make it.

For this trip, though, I decided to play it safer, and get the Senior ticket, which was the same price as PREM. If I miss that train I can pay just 10E more for the next train. Actually, to Reims is pretty cheap anyway!

By the way, I love the Air France Bus. The problem I've had with the RER is the long ticket lines - even at the automatic ticket machines (which don't work anyway with North American credit cards).

Thanks Sue. I decided to play it safe and go with the later train (not hard to kill time in Paris!).
