Flying to CDG in J. Priority Customs Line?
 

Flying to CDG and arriving in 2A. Does Air Canada provide the use of the priority/fast track line in customs? I've only flown to CDG via Air France before and I remember the sign saying it's for No.1 Access and SkyTeam only.

I have departed CDG on AC twice in the past 12 months and access to priority lanes for outbound immigration and security was provided. Don't know for certain about arrivals, however my guess would be yes.

Yes, unless the SD forgets, you will be getting a No. 1 Access sticker before landing in CDG. I had to remind them once... :)

Yes. But honestly by the time we arrive in 2A it's usually super empty.

Yes, except for the odd times when it's not ;-)

Thanks. I guess it's because I'm used to flying into 2E and it's always 45min-1hr wait through custom.

They should stick a little "Access No.1" on your BP. Unless you have an electronic BP, then they stick it to your passport, where it is infinitely reusable. Until it gets worn, then you get them to stick another one...

Usually more useful for exit customs and security than entrance customs though.

Agreed. If you're in J, you're one of the first to get there, along with all the other J passengers - regular line ends up being faster.

But definitely have had more use out of it when leaving,

Yes
as long as they remember all J pax should get them.

As an SE in PY, I've asked for one before landing and recieved it too .

I have a bunch of these in my travel bag for exactly the same reason as @RatherBeInYOW mentions.

Given I have an EU passport (at least until Halloween) as observed up-thread it's more useful leaving than arriving. Especially when they decide to put both families and people with mobility issues in the Priority lane as well.

Customs in Europe is the red/green aisle/door choice system. There is no need I can think of for priority in that system.

For Immigration processes, on the other hand, having priority can definitely be a good thing.

I landed there 2 weeks ago, and the flight was on time. And yes, it was more than super empty. I think we were the only flight!

I still have an ~8 inch No. 1 pass from a few years ago. Are those still valid? :D
