I do not know which gate in terminal E yet. But am I correct that E28-47 & E51-76 are reachable on foot?
Appreciate if you could tell me what is meant by land side and air side.
Thanks a lot!
Land side means that you leave the secure area to reach the public zone and move to the other terminal and go through immigration (if applicable) and security (as if you were starting your trip in CDG).
Airside means you are staying in the "sterile" transit zone. That doesn't mean that you don't have to go through security again. But if you are making a non-schengen to non-schengen connection, you don't have to go through immigration (twice)
Otherwise, it would be helpful if you precise us if your connection is schengen to non-schengen or non-schengen to non-schengen.
If it is a schengen to non-schengen one, I definitely recommend you to walk yo 2E, whatever your gate is at 2E. If it is E28-47, you proceed to arrival at 2F, as if you were ending your trip in CDG and, when you arrive in the public zone, just go straight ahead to 2E (it will be a 5 min walk only). If E51-76 (satellite S3 of 2E), you have to stay airside and follow the signs for these gates. The walk is longer than for the other gates but this is clearly the best way to do it
