CDG terminal question

I am flying into CDG with BA from London on the same day as my friends from Singapore with SQ (Singapore Airlines). Our flights are about an hour apart, i was just wondering a) if SQ and BA use the same terminal and b) if i would be able to wait at the Gate for my friends to arrive before passing through Customs. - Thanks, Nathan (qfflyer)

SQ and BA do both use Terminal 1; however, they use different satellites at that terminal. Because you need a valid boarding pass to reach the satellite, you would not be able to meet your companions as they deplane. (Also, maybe the EuroCrowd can let you know if it's a different customs procedure arriving from UK than a non-EU country.)

I believe there is a point de rencontre (meeting point) in T1, though, or you could agree to meet at any of the exit doors (numbered 1 through about 32).

The U.K. is not in Schengen so travellers from there would have to clear French immigration (2 areas - at opposite ends of the "circle"). If one of you has an arrivals lounge pass, you could meet there.
