The Great CDG Wiki :
This wiki post walks you through any essential info for CDG and aims to answer questions around AF and Skyteam ops at CDG.
Most common questions and answers :
CDG Air France Lounges: There are lounges in terminal 2F (one common lounge), 2G, and 2E (all gates). See dedicated thread here.
Terminal 2E K-L-M hopping: Pax are only allowed to access gates from which their next flight is departing. This is especially true for lounge access: it is not possible to pick a 2E lounge; it is not possible to access 2E lounges on arrival without a valid boarding pass for a departure flight.
General terminal hopping: Pax are only allowed to access gates from which their next flight is departing. You can not access another terminal airside without a valid boarding pass for that terminal unless arriving in that terminal and transferring to another (for example, you may arrive and shop in 2F before heading to 2E or 2G, but you will most likely not be able to access the 2F lounge.).
Transfer time from non-Schengen flights: CDG is notoriously bad at managing flights from safe origins. When transferring from a non-Schengen origin, allow some buffer time for security screening.
All connections sold by AF on a single ticket are valid and legal (even the shortest ones) and so are feasible in normal circumstances (otherwise, they would not sell them). When you are connecting in CDG, just follow the signages for your connecting terminal/concourse (there is no secret faster way). Self-connecting in CDG with separate tickets requires extra caution because the passenger is not protected in case of no show on the connecting flight. A minimum of 3 to 4 hrs between the 2 flights is highly recommended to limit the risks.
Why is a Non-Schengen flight listed at Terminal 2F?
Due to 2E being very busy in the morning, some Non-Schengen flights who are due to leave from 2E-L have their check-in moved to 2F in order to alleviate load in 2E. If you are originating in CDG or coming in from an overnight layover, you will check-in and pass security in 2F as well as passport control at the right (east) end of the terminal, before walking through the 2F - 2E-L connector to your gate. If you are transferring inside of 2E by arriving on a Non-Schengen flight, find your connecting gate on the screens and follow the signs to your gate.
CDG terminals (AF, KL, and SkyTeam)
All SkyTeam companies (with the exception of Saudia in Terminal 1), operates out of the Terminal 2 Complex at CDG.
Terminal 2F
The main Schengen terminal for AF, also used by KLM, Air Europa and TAROM, split into two wings of gates (F24-F36 and F44-F56).
Where is the lounge in this terminal ?
The Air France Lounge is located just by the central security control, closer to gates F24-F36. You can purchase access on a machine outside the lounge. If you have a guest, they must be checked in on the machines when entering the lounge. The lounge has two levels, a buffet on each level, a Clarins spa on the upper level and showers on the lower level. Plan for a 2-3 minute walk to gates F24-F36, 5 minutes to F44-F56.
How do I transfer from this terminal?
When arriving in 2F, you will walk down one of the two wings down to a central area. When arriving into this central area, either do a U-Turn to walk up a floor to 2F departures, or follow the yellow signs to terminals 2E-K (7-10 minute walk + passport control), 2E-L (Passport control + 10 minute walk), 2E-M (Passport control + bus to 2E-M), or 2G (bus transfer).
Check-in and Security
There is a dedicated SkyPriority Check-In zone between doors 4 and 6 at the left end of the terminal (if arriving by taxi/uber, ask to be dropped off at the end of the terminal). Just next to the SkyPriority check-in zone there is a dedicated security filter for SkyPriority. There is also a second SkyPriority lane at central security in the middle of the terminal which drops you next to the lounge.
Why is a Non-Schengen flight listed at Terminal 2F?
Due to 2E being very busy in the morning, some Non-Schengen flights who are due to leave from 2E-L have their check-in moved to 2F in order to alleviate load in 2E. If you are originating in CDG or coming in from an overnight layover, you will check-in and pass security in 2F as well as passport control at the right (east) end of the terminal, before walking through the 2F - 2E-L connector to your gate. If you are transferring inside of 2E by arriving on a Non-Schengen flight, find your connecting gate on the screens and follow the signs to your gate.
Terminal 2E
The main Non-Schengen terminal for AF, also used by Delta, Korean Air, Aeromexico, Kenya Airways, Middle East Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, China Eastern and Xiamen Air. This terminal has three piers named K, L and M, connected post passport control but pre-security by the airside CDGVAL line.
Where are the lounges in this terminal ?
Air France has three lounges, one per pier (K, L, and M). Each lounge has showers and a Clarins spa.
The K lounge is on to the left after security in the central shopping area.
The L Lounge (pictures here) is located one level up from the central shopping area in the L pier.
The M lounge is located at the eastern end of the central shopping area, opposite of where you arrive post-security.
Lounge hopping between these three lounges are not allowed, you must use the lounge from the pier where your flight is departing from.
If you are flying La Premire outbound/inbound, you will be escorted directly to the La Premire lounge either from LP check-in or picked up from your connecting flight.
How do I transfer from this terminal?
When arriving in either of the three piers, you will go through security control, and will then need to follow the yellow signs to your next gate area. If transferring inside the same pier, generally you will just walk up a level. If transferring to 2F, follow signs to 2F (5-10mn walking transfer from K and L gates, 10mn bus from M) after clearing security in 2E. You will clear passport control when arriving in 2F, and will be deposited on the upper departure level of 2F. For 2G, take the shuttle from your arrival terminal towards 2G where you will clear passport control.
Check-in and Security
There is a dedicated SkyPriority Check-In zone located at zones 6 and 7, located just by passport control and the center of the terminal (if arriving by taxi/uber, ask to be dropped off at the middle of the terminal). After check-in, there is a dedicated Accs N1 / SkyPriority lane at passport control, and dedicated SkyPriority lanes at security for each pier.
If flying La Premire, there is a dedicated check-in area from which you will be escorted each step of the way.
Terminal 2G
The secondary Schengen terminal for AF, used mostly by AF alongside some partner flights by Luxair. Only regional jets and turboprops use this terminal. The terminal is small and detached from the rest of the airport, but allows you to pass quickly through with few queues. If arriving by public transport, you must grab a landside shuttle from 2F/2E, allow 15-20mns for this.
Where is the lounge in this terminal ?
The Air France Lounge is located on the upper floor, when coming up the stairs/escalators from security, do a u-turn and you will see the lounge entrance. Showers are available. More info here.
How do I transfer from this terminal?
When arriving in 2G, follow the yellow signs towards the 2F shuttle or upstairs to 2G departure gates. If transferring to/from 2E, you will clear passport control in 2G before heading to the shuttle going to either K, L or M gates.
Check-in and Security
There is a dedicated SkyPriority Check-In zone close to security just when walking into the terminal from either of the terminal entrances. There is also a dedicated SkyPriority lane at security.
How do I transfer to TGV and Orly?
If your onward journey is by TGV or from Orly Airport, when arriving into CDG, go to baggage claim and exit landside.
To TGV
When arriving into 2F and 2E, follow the signs towards Gare TGV (10mn walk), where you will be able to find the platform for your onwards train.
To Orly
In order to transfer to Orly, you have two options:
- Grab the RER B (from the central railway station) towards Antony (St Remy les Chevreuses branch) and transfer to either Orlyval at Antony or Line 14 at Chatelet. Expect a travel time of 70 to 80 minutes. (26, 2x airport tickets at 13)
- Grab a Taxi/Uber towards Orly. Expect 60 to 90 minutes travel time. (75 to 120 depending on time of day/traffic)
How do I reach downtown Paris?
By public transport
To reach Paris by public transport, you have two options, either by the RER B commuter train from the central CDG train station (35-45 minutes depending on type of train, express or not) for 11,45 with a CDG airport ticket, or the Roissybus which leaves from a central platform in between 2F and 2E, which takes you direct to Opra for 16,6 euros in 60 minutes.
By Taxi/Uber/Other chauffeur services
You can grab a taxi from the ranks outside each terminal or at dedicated pick-up points for pre-booked taxis / Ubers / etc at each terminal. A taxi to central Paris has a fixed price of 56 to the Right Bank and 65 to the Left Bank. The drive to central Paris is 45 to 90 minutes depending on time of day and destination. If pre-ordering a G7 taxi, expect a 4 booking fee added on.
Other info
CDG Terminal 2 can be very hard to access by car in the morning due to the road layout and the queues to access the 2E drop-off area. Allow extra time for this if you have a flight during the morning bank. You can ask to be dropped off at 2B/D (2A/C is closed for renovation) and walk over to 2E/F to save time if traffic is very bad.

Turning left ensures that you go to the end of 2D closest to the TGV station. Turning right would lead you to the food court area located between 2D and 2B (wrong direction !!)
Unfortunately, I haven't ever used this lounge yet. Reports from other posters indicate that it is a full fledged lounge, although the lounge in the 2E building itself is probably the best AF business class lounge.
Good luck !

Stopped at 2E and it is indeed a great lounge. The satellite lounge was just ok, nice seating, but I looked for showers and did not see them. Looking forward to when 2E is back in operation.

This thread is great! Wondering if someone can help with my itinerary?
Flying AF SFO-CDG-FCO. I believe CDG to FCO is a codeshare with Alitalia. I have a 1 hr connection to get from 2C to 2F. Is this doable?
Thanks in advance!

2C/2F Connection
Hi there...
I will be flying next week on AF 95 from MIA to CDG, arriving at 8:05 a.m. (in 2C) and then connecting to KL 1228 which departs at 9:00 a.m. (from 2F). Do you all think I will have enough time? If not, it looks like there are plenty of AF/KL flights through the morning - how easy is it to rebook on those if necessary? I presume I do not have to clear customs (right?). Any thoughts/suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks.

If your flight from MIA is on time and if you have a jetway instead of a remote stand, there should not be a problem. Otherwise, it is a bit tight, but as you mentioned, there are plenty of flights to AMS. If you miss your connection, you are usually automatically rebooked on the following flight or you may have to ask at the transfer desk.
Regarding your checked baggage, you will clear customs at your final EU destination, but your carry-on may be inspected upon arrival in CDG (never happened to me
).
Once you have cleared immigration and left the baggage retrieval area in 2C, go towards the TGV station (5mn) over moving walkways, cross over to the other side of the building (1mn) and then turn right towards 2F over another set of moving walkways, to the security check at the entrance to the 2F1 (Schengen area, including AMS - 5mn). After security check, you need at most an additional 5mn to reach any gate in 2F1.
Enjoy your flights.

I have a friend who is traveling to CDG on DL 44 on March 25. His sister is coming as well but on DL 22. Her flight arrives around 9:00 am and he gets in 45 minutes later. She does not ever travel, much less Internationally.
Can someone give me some tips to pass along to them to help guide them once they land to ensure they find each other?
I appreciate everyone's help. I have read this whole thread and there is a ton of info and I am very appreciative of that.
I will also be through CDG on March 29 on my way to GVA. Any tips on finding my connecting flight would be nice as well.
Thanks!

My wife and I will be in Europe for two weeks celebrating our ten year anniversary. We are flying direct, on Air France (744), from San Francisco to Paris. We arrive at 11:50am and our connecting flight to Prague (Czech Air) departs at 1:05pm. After reading all 11 pages, I am beginning to feel that 75 minutes will be enough time.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Can someone give me some tips to pass along to them to help guide them once they land to ensure they find each other?
I appreciate everyone's help. I have read this whole thread and there is a ton of info and I am very appreciative of that.
I will also be through CDG on March 29 on my way to GVA. Any tips on finding my connecting flight would be nice as well.
Thanks!

If they are in biz (and not staying near the airport) I might suggest meeting in the arrivals lounge in 2C so they can have breakfast and a shower. Another choice might be the lobby of the Sheraton for breakfast. If they are staying near the airport, I would suggest going straight to the hotel. And if they are transiting and in biz, I would suggest the lounge of the terminal they will be connecting from.

They are both flying coach. They are then going to stay in town for 3 or 4 nights. They want to take the RER into the city and then the Metro to their hotel. Any further suggestions are much appreciated.

Delay in S3 opening
Unfortunately, according to both AF and ADP sources it seems that the opening of the S3 satellite will be "phased" until autumn 2007, instead of S3 being operational for spring.

In addition, the number of AF long-haul flights with a jetway at CDG has dropped from 70% to 50% with the unavailability of the Jetee of Terminal 2E.
