Certainly not 5 or 6 times you will arrive in 2E, clear French immigration, collect your bags, clear customs (although you may not notice it unless you a stopped for a search). Then you arrive in the public zone (arrival area). You'll have to go one floor up (departure level), check-in to GLA (note that BE handled by AF in CDG), re-clear French immigration (you leave the Schengen area), pass security and finally take your flight
Of course you will have to clear UK Immgration arriving in GLA.
Thanks so much, I have a clearer idea of what to expect now!
