 Boarding Pass by bugulma There are 2 airports: Charle de Gaulle and Orly. Charlle de Gaule has 2 terminals and it's one of the biggest in the world. I used both Charlle de Gaulle 2 (when I had flight from Moscow and back) and Charlle de Gaulle 1 (when I had a flight to Germany). You can go to the airport by RER, line B. Moreover TGV (speedy train) has a station in Terminal 2. From TGV station and RER station there are a lot of busses to the terminal you need. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

 The work of gregory Beauvais - i get bored of airp by sourbugger Paris Beauvais may have a rich cultural avionic heritage, but in the modern era it is a little airport servicing four or five low-cost airlines, including Ryanair (of course). At least this means that the time you spend in the airport is minimal, and delays are unusual. On the downside the transfers to the centre of Paris are Longer - it is some 80Kms, and if you are delayed at the airport there is precious little to do. Airport buses are some 13Euro One-way and leave 20 mins after each flight arrives - tickets can be booked online. Leave a Comment

Charles de Gaulle Airport is one of the largest airports in Europe. Some of the VT posts here actually add to the confusion like referring to "Terminal 2" as if it was one building: Terminal 2 now has five sub-terminals. If you are arriving at CDG there is a small airport brochure which is available in stands all over each terminal is extremely useful for information about when you depart. All the sub-terminals of Terminal 2 are used by Air France and members of the Skyteam alliance. It also handles flights that are code-sharing with Air France and that includes an eclectic mix of airlines. However, since the closure of 2E, Air Canada has moved all its flights to Terminal 1. You need to check which Terminal 2 building your flight is going to use. 2E is closed indefinitely. 2F has one wing (low numbered gates) for AF/Skyteam/codeshare AF flights to the Schengen countries and the other wing (high numbered gates) to non-Schengen EU flights and some long-haul fights (including Brasil, Japan, some US flights). If you are arriving by car or bus and don't know your Terminal 2 building, get off at Terminal 2C or 2D (less walking) and check the TV screens (the big roof mounted monitors ONLY show the flights for that terminal). If you are transferring at CDG it is usually quicker leaving the building and walking to the relevant Terminal. The bus transfer can be incredibly slow. Terminal 3 is used by a low budget airlines (e.g. Easyjet) or airlines from impoverished airlines. Terminal 1 is used by all other airlines, including those of the Star Alliance and oneWorld (except those that codeshare with AF)! Yes, it is confusing! Aeroports de Paris have a very helpful website, with a lot of useful information at http://www.adp.fr It includes detailed plans of each terminal, phone numbers of the airlines, and updated timetables that include the revised terminal details. There is an English and Spanish language versions (use the same URL, scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on 'Welcome' or 'Bienvenido'). Leave a Comment

 I live at Orly airport by sourbugger Orly airport would appear to be the perfect breeding ground for rabbits. In such a protected compound they breed, well like rabbits I suppose. The last time I visited, in transit, they were hopping around all over the place. I have no doubt that the French Airport authorities have since dealt with them using a mixture of ruthless Galliic efficiency combined with a deep and abiding love for God's creatures. That and a family-sized tub of Warferin. The airport is much closer (14kms) than Pari's other airports and is well connected to the city. If you are on an internal flight or on Easyjet you will probably arrive here. Some 30 odd other airlines on longer routes also still use the place. I certainly find it a quicker and easier place to use, rather than CDG. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: 800 538 2929

 CDG-Roissy: Terminal 1 by shrimp56 Most long distance international flights land at Charles de Gaulle-Roissy. Since the collapse of part of the new Terminal 2 there have been many adjustments to normal gate locations for various airlines and destinations. So be sure to check with your airline and with the website for CDG. . Terminal 1 is architecturally interesting, but exceedingly annoying to use. Leave a Comment

Give your self plenty of time to get through this airport, we were in line for over 2 1/2 hours to check in at the Air France desk!Some of this delay may have been weather related and some may have been security related as we were traveling over the holiday. But there were at least 2 other Air France desks that had only a small number of passengers waiting, it seems as though they could have allocated the passengers better. Another note, we were at Terminal 2 and once we got past passport control there was only a snack bar serving overpriced baguettes, chips, and $5 softdrinks. So don't plan on eating once you get past passport control. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

... you can fly into Paris. I've done this once and it was pretty uneventful as flights go. It was on British Airways from Heathrow to Charles de Gaulle airport. With more competition, it's a cheaper flight now than when I took it a few years ago! However, having tried the Eurostar, the train has the edge for me - definitely a less stressful experience. Other airlines flying from the UK into Paris include BMI, Easyjet and (of course) Air France. There are sometimes particularly good deals on Easyjet if you book far enough in advance. If your airline flies into Charles de Gaulle airport, so much the better - the RER rail line now runs there, taking you straight into central Paris. Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

by Rupanworld I had got a cheap deal to Paris from Marseille by Ryan Air. My both ways ticket (To Paris and back) cost me a total of Euros 17.99 including taxes. Shamefully cheap. Although I have taken many flights of Ryan Air before at very cheap prices, none were so cheap. The service was also good.

 the trip begins...IADCDG...01Feb03! by morgane1692 Woohoo, it's happened! United has returned the wonderful 777 to its Paris CDG runs! UA also has convenient daily service from Washington Dulles, Chicago O'Hare, and San Francisco, direct to CDG...with excellent connections from many other cities across the US if you need to hook up to one of the three int'l hubs there. So I say Go to Europe, and go to Europe now! It's perfectly safe and fun, although not *quite* the bargain it was last year...argghhhh... Leave a Comment
