 | Paris Flights and Airline Tips | Tips 61 - 70 of 94 |  |
If possible try to find a train travelling to Paris rather than flying. Having travelled to Paris from several European cities on various modes of transport I can say without a doubt trains are the most conveniant and after adding the hidden charges of plane travel (especially from the UK), trains often work out cheaper! The main advantage though is that trains (e.g. the Eurostar and SNCF) take you right into the centre of Paris where the metro, RER or taxis can get you to your hotel in minutes. After flying however I have often spent many frustrating hours trying to travel with luggage the many miles into the centre of Paris to find my hotel.

Charter or low cost airlines land at this terminal. Flying on Air Transat, I landed there. I read previously some nasty comments about this terminal, from french citizens ! Well, well, some people like to complain ! We had to walk out of the plane since they use stairs instead of... ( forgot the name of the device that bring you directly to the airport...). But, I was happy since it gave me the chance to take a picture of the Concorde displayed there ! The terminal is not at all dirty. From there, you have a bit of a walk to reach the train station ( RER ), but you do it mostly under a ceiling that protect you from possible rain. To reach the city, I bought a one week pass ( "carte orange" ). Charles de Gaulle airport is in zone 5. So by buying a "1 to 5 zone" pass, I was able to take the train ( RER ) and connect to any metro I need to reach my hotel. There were no problems with my luggage. I was unable to use my credit card to buy the pass at the machine within the terminal # 3. But it worked well at the train station.
