I am fascinated by the idea of a bus from Sat 3 to CDG2. I had never heard of it. If it works, and I intend to try it on 10 Nov, I will be overjoyed. the haul over to the RER station is a joke. It is worth having change where poss for the ticket machine as the queues are horrendous.

Anyone know when "rush hour" is in Paris?


Rush hour in Paris kicks off at about 5, and is at its worse between 6 and 7. That is a great time to arrive as it should be pretty quiet then. It may be worth considering a cab on the way there. Beware anyone approaching you in the Terminal, and the "Taxis" immedately a the the door, make sure that you get a proper Taxi Parisien. If the interior resmbles an ash try on wheels, reject it there's plenty more where they came from.

I smiled when I read that thelpa paid FF300 as I thought it should be about that. They charge you for every single bag. Thanks to all for some excellent tips, I usually arrive in Paris late and jump into a cab in order to get from door to door without tramping round stations. I will be training/busing it into Paris this friday as I am in no particular hurry, and the traffic will be slow going at 9.00am
