@@heleneg525 Relax, travel is for exploring new venues and experiences. That being said, many of those experiences are not in the categories of positive or negative. Travel presents us with problems, problems large and small. EG, OK, I missed my flight - how do I make this work now? Yeah, that can be a large one. It's just a new experience. You learn. You also learn how to forestall or evade problems. EG, you have a cruise beginning August 5. You do not want to book a flight arriving August 5 in case of flight cancellation, or a connecting flight arriving late and missing the flight to the cruise port and thus the cruise sailing. France, and we will spend 12 nights in Paris before the cruise. We have another cruise beginning in Prague, and we'll arrive there 2 days ahead, coming in from first touring the UK. In so far as this video of CDG, yes it can be intimidating the first few times. But, there are plenty of signage directing the passengers. Just be careful to read them and you're not just following the herd. The only airport where I had a problem in that area was Frankfurt. There's some 5 train stations in that airport and it is NOT well signed.
Let me add that you should never pass a Departure display without dbl checking your flight! You'd be suprised how often the status changes. that includes the time and especially the Gate.
Thanks a ton for this video, I was looking for similar videos from some time now. This video will help me a lot, as my family will be transiting through CDG for first time.
Thank you, like others have said, this makes me feel much better, I'm transferring from AA to AF at CDG, heading to Italy, then the other way around heading back, much thanks!
Thank you for your informative video.This is the fourth time I am going to Detroit through this airport, every time anxiety and confusion.On 4th September 2024 i will be going to CDG and on that day I will follow your video to board delta for my onward journey to Detroit 🎉
this scares me so much LOL I have a trip and a 5 hour lay over with 5 people. One wheel chair and two checked dogs. I will have to transfer when landing, get the dogs, and then do what you did? ohhh it looks scary , but I appercaite the video it helps
Although the airport is huge and there will likely be lots of walking, Schengen to non-Schengen transfer is not difficult. Signs are well posted throughout the airport, just follow them and you'll end up at the right place.
Este video no es para esto. No se entiende nada. Y por muchos tutoriales que leas tampoco. Ellos mismos se dicen a sí mismos ISLA DE FRANCIA.. O sea que lo hacen todo engorroso, inentendible, con miles de tarjetas y tickets, y caros como el demonio. Si vas sola busca el rossybuss o algun bus de esto que si hay información en internet que te cuesta 12 euros o por ahí pero te deja en el centro de la ciudad, no en el hotel de turno. Si no, taxi, pero el taxi es perfecto cundo van 3 para dividir el costo. Pero si hay que gastar 60 euros en vez de perderse pues se gastan.. Yo buscaba más donde queda más lo del Navigo Semanal, y su oficina en que parte del aeropuerto con decenas de terminales está, pero lo dicho el 90% de videos son inentendibles por mucho video que haya. Hay una oficina en el aeropuerto ya será preguntar y preguntar y hacer km para dar con ella.
Is leaving terminal 2e to go to sheraton hotel allowed without a visa? I have a 12hours layover I'd love to rest and freshen up for the next flight. Your response will be highly appreciated
I wish I saw this video before we did our trip through CDG. We accidentally followed our fellow passengers to the baggage claim exit, and had to go through the regular and long security line to get back in to catch our connecting flight 😪
Plz i have a question, i have a transit from CDG airport for abt 1h20, should i claim my baggage and registrate it again? Or it's gonna be transfered by them to my last destination??!
If you miss the train will it come back again or uf u miss the platform to go terminal E gate M, will the train again come. Is it round robin train and how much time it tskes for second run as lsy over time is insufficidnt.
Security is necessary again due to different security standards for different countries. It’s not necessary all the time depending on which airport you transit through.
Where is yotel air lounge? How early do I have to leave the lounge to reach my gate? I have 5 hr layover and will be landing and leaving from Terminal 2E.
CDG 2 isn't a single terminal, it's a collection of multiple terminals that are connected to one another. What matters to know if the connection is short is the letter behind the "2".
Hi, I will be flying on Air France from San Francisco to Barcelona this Dec, would like to know how long it took to you “end to end”. Stepping off and getting to boarding gate. I only have one hour 😢
Took me just shy of an hour to get through. But I think SFO-CDG has no early morning arrivals so it can actually be quicker. The biggest bottle necks are the wait times for security and passport control.
@@OnTimeReportsI'll be traveling Florence and i have a 1hour and 25 min layover. Will that be enough time? Also, any checked bags will automatically handle to the next plane so i don't need to go to baggage claim correct?
We are traveling from Delhi india to Toronto, by Air France, arrival as well as departure are from Terminal 2E, . Do we need to run a lot and go through security check again
Avoid CDG if you can. There is a reason that this video is necessary - as well as countless others. If you cannot avoid this airport, just move fast - no matter your layover time.
TY for your video!! I am booking a flight for my parents from Crete (we are staying longer then them). They are flying back by themselves. They are going from Terminal 2B (SkyExpress from Crete) to 2E (Air France to LAX) and I had no idea until yesterday how big terminal 2. I am concerned that they will get lost and possible miss their flight home. They have 3 hours to get to their Air France flight in Terminal 2E. They will need to take the shuttle train. Any other advice for me to pass on to them?
I think they will be fine. The signs at CDG are clear and straight forward and you have given them enough of a buffer to transit. 3 hours is plenty for CDG.
Global entry is only for the United States. If memories serves me correct, I do believe there is a separate line for business class and SkyTeam Elite members.
Were flying from ATL on Air france and only have 1.5 hours to catch our connecting flight to naples. It lands at 2 pm, is that a super busy time at CDG? Im so nervous because i will have 2 littles with me.
@OnTimeReports I'm flying on Air France from ATL to CDG then from CDG to BHX. My layover is 2hrs 15mins and I get to the airport at 7:45am. Is this enough time to get my connection flight at 9:40am?
Thank you for the video! Transiting through CDG is a complete nightmare, especially when you're in a rush and don't have time for endless confusion. How hard is it to align arrows with text? Who approved the signage in this airport!? You often end up walking the wrong way and only to realise 10 minutes later that you went the wrong way. That sign when you exited the aero-bridge is the perfect example of how confusion and missing your flight starts.
Can I leave the airport if I have transfer flight to the UStates, with an issued shengen visa of course? I’ll have 9 hr lay over and booking a room very close to the airport would be a good idea, but couldn’t find any info if we can leave the port and come back again for a transit flight..
I hve a question I hve to change terminal for my flight to istanbul I do not plan to enter paris Will I go through Immigration or visa check to transfer terminal?
That depends on your final destination. If it is in the Schengen Area, then you'll have to go through Schengen immigration at CDG. If not, then you'll likely not have to.
Hi Mimi, hope you had a good weekend. I have a flight coming and both leaving Terminal 2E, I also have just under 90mins. how long did it take you in the end? and looks like both of mine is gates K too. Many thanks in advance!
@@nicholasnickhi! my flight was delayed and I only had 1 hour to transfer in the end but it went SUPER smooth for me! I had to get on a small train to get to my gate then went through security but if you know where your gate is the sign will guide you and it will all be fine😁 especially if your arriving at the same gate! I hope you have a good trip:) (I actually don’t remember how long it took but it was really quick🫢)
Many thanks Mimi! I know is difficult depending the time of day, but was there a lot wait going through security ie) over 15 mins ? (obviously sounds normal but becomes a lot when you only have just over an hour! @@mimi_thecat1462

Honestly watching this video has made me way more confident I think I’ll be fine with my 2 hour layover in April amazing video perfectly explained

Obrigada 🙏🏽
quite a hike! thanks.
Will be going to Minneapolis via CDG and am hella nervous goshhhh 😂
Excellent video very useful ❤
Thank you for this
To transit from 2F/2G to 2E-Gate K, I believe there is no need of of train. If it is 2E-Gate L or M, then train needs to be taken. Am I correct?
Thank you, I think I am less nervous now about going to CDG for the first time. How many meters did you walk?
Definitely a lot! Wouldn’t be surprised if it was close to 1km.
Tengo que viajar de Sevilla a París y de París a Chile, y me da mucho miedo perderme en el aeropuerto, ya que es la primera vez que viajó sola

@@ik1460b Depends on how you bought the tickets, if both flight are on the same itienary, then your baggage will transfer on its own
@@ik1460b hi I just want to ask about the luggage for connecting flight, did you claim it? or they will transfer to your next flight? thank u
Great explanation. CDG should make similar movies themselves
Ty so much 4 sharing this video,. Terminal 2E gate k and 2F are same point of the metro?
Thanks!
Make me so anxious, we are 5 people and only have 1h10 to make the transfer..
70 minutes is tight but if you are on a single ticket, they'll just rebook you to the next flight.
Are there no co'ordinaters or guides /duty personnel to guide for passengers. It is very difficult .
I see wheelchairs are available throughout but is there also an elevator where there are stairs??
If you miss the train will it come back again or uf u miss the platform to go terminal E gate M, will the train again come. Is it round robin train and how much time it tskes for second run as lsy over time is insufficidnt.
Its weird that you already go throught security for your first flight, then having to go again for your 2nd fly
Security is necessary again due to different security standards for different countries. It’s not necessary all the time depending on which airport you transit through.
Is two n a half hour hour lay over sufficient time to catch up the connecting flight
Yes, 2.5 hours is plenty of time.
@@OnTimeReports thanx so much for the reply
Anyone know about showers in terminal 2E
Flying delta from Detroit to Rome with a 2 hour layover in Paris. Any tips?
If you have luggage to pick up where to go ? At the same time you have connecting flight going to 2f?
hi, can you explain to me from 2B to 2F? Thank you
I got a flight from Amsterdam> Paris to dubai with 1,5hour connection time from paris....is that okay? Do i need to take a metro also?
Yes you’ll likely need to take the train to the other part of Terminal 2. 90 minutes is good.
Where is yotel air lounge? How early do I have to leave the lounge to reach my gate? I have 5 hr layover and will be landing and leaving from Terminal 2E.
The Yotel Air Lounge is also in Terminal 2E. Make sure to give yourself lots of time to reach your gate as there can be lots of walking involved!
I'm gonna have to run then. My transfer time is 1 hour
Same here
I have 2 + 15 min to go ....i wish i will bé in Time to tranfer myself to athens
Did you make it in time? Mine in 1 hour too

Is this train from T1 to T3, then T2? Is this train airside or landside?

What app is the right one for iPhone CDG?
Avoid CDG if you can. There is a reason that this video is necessary - as well as countless others. If you cannot avoid this airport, just move fast - no matter your layover time.
@@conebeam1 the transfer paths are clearly indicated with yellow signs. An example of messy directions ?
Thk u
Why should we avoid it please?
With clear signs, it still takes sometimes a journey to get to the connecting flights gate. You could not usually do it on less than a 2hr lay over

That depends on your final destination. If it is in the Schengen Area, then you'll have to go through Schengen immigration at CDG. If not, then you'll likely not have to.
