CDG->Paris Ground Transportation Rec (w 1 stop)?
Hi. I am arriving at CDG on BA at 1pm on Saturday.
I would like to know the best, cost effective options, to go from CDG to pick up my daughter in the 15th Arondissement where she has a big suitcase and then to my hotel at the Vestin Vendome in the 1st.
I thing there is a an airport bus that goes to the Opera, which is not so close to my hotel, although not sure about the departure times and duration, but that makes it difficult to get my daughter. What are the other options?
Is there a substantially discounted private car service from the airport?
Any other suggestions for best bus or rail to city limits near the 15th?

The 15th is quite large; can you be more specific?
When I lived not too far from the Porte de Versailles, I would take the RER B from CDG to Cit Universitaire, then the tramway to Porte de Versailles. It's a fairly easy trip if you don't have a lot of luggage.
In your case maybe something similar would work for you... you could then take a taxi, have the driver stop to pick up your daughter, and continue onward to your hotel -- but depending on what part of the 15th you're going to, there may be other solutions.

by public transport, I'd take RER B to Denfert-Rochereau and then metro 6 to your daughter's place. Alternatively, you could take the AF bus to Gare Montparnasse or Etoile and then take a taxi from there. RER (ticket is valid on metro) is cheaper and should not be too packed Saturday afternoon, but AF bus is more comfortable.

After you picked up your daughter, you can take a taxi.
But the Mtro shouldn't be too complicated. Line 6 to Charles de Gaulle-Etoile then line 1 direction Chateau de Vincennes and get off at Tuileries. IIRCC, the transfer at CDG-Etoile shouldn't be too difficult as tracks are closed to each other.

Which is a faster ride into the city?
Which leaves more frequently inn the 1:30-2:00 range?
Which is a less expensive taxi from which stop I should get off at to where she is staying and how much should that be?
How much should the taxi be from the station to her friend's apt to the Westin Vendome in the 1st?

I can probably take RER to Metro. I will have 1 mid sized suitcase, but it's on wheels. How long is the RER from CDG to Denfert Rochereau and how often does it depart on Saturday afternoons?

I am not sure what you mean by not a quick one, but it sounds like i should count on about an hour, once i get on the train at cdg, maybe a little more.
