Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport Transfer Terminal 2 

Actually causing me m ore anxiety!

@@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.

It helps when you only have a backpack as your carry on

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.

Definitely a lot! Wouldn’t be surprised if it was close to 1km.

... Paris airport is very big ...

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".

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.

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.

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.

@@OnTimeReports Yes! We are the first flight. Thank you!

70 minutes is tight but if you are on a single ticket, they'll just rebook you to the next flight.

Yikes although the transit procedure at CDG is quite complicated compared to some other European hubs

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??!

@@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

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!

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.

Yes you’ll likely need to take the train to the other part of Terminal 2. 90 minutes is good.

No

Yes, 2.5 hours is plenty of time.

@@OnTimeReports thanx so much for the reply

Yes there will be another security check

Hey bro am from punjab Can u tell me can we out the airport or not

Train is airside

Haven't personally done such a transfer but if the airline sold it to you, then it should be okay.

Best to ask your embassy if you need any visas.

What kind of Visa do you use? I m the same next month, T1 to T2E.

@@user-sw1uv8wt7m Bro you need transit visa

Yes

@@OnTimeReports oh thank you so much:)) I was still looking for the answer thru google but you are faster to reply, thank u..

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

@@reemadel5967did u make it?

Same

No, that’s not really a busy time. The transatlantic morning rush will be over by then. You should be fine

@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?

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

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.

@@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

Hopefully your connection is on a single ticket. You’ll be protected if you miss your transfer and be rebooked onto the next flight
