It is advisable to perhaps Telephone the relevant Airline before you make the journey, just in case your flight is either delayed or even cancelled. Please be sure to check your Terminal before setting of as there are 3 Terminals at Paris Charles de Gaulle and they are a fair distance to travel between each. If you find that you have indeed arrived at the wrong terminal you can catch the CDGVAL free unmanned rail service between Terminals.

If you arrive by Bus or Taxi they will drop you off outside of the terminal building. If arriving by train you will need to know which terminal you are leaving from as there a 2 train stops. If you need to drop off a car that you've hired with car rental Paris, please allow some additional time for reaching the boarding gates from the parking facilities.

With new security measure at Paris Airports you will not be able to carry through security any liquids, gels, creams, pastes or aerosols.
