CDG check in
Hi, would be traveling from paris cdg to delhi in end may on AI. Can anyone help me with experience of checking in. I plan to reach airport by tgv from Disney at 19:45 flight is scheduled at 22:00. Is it enough time (with a kid, so do not want to run)? First time in cdg hence any info appreciated.

air india is terminal 2c and fairly close to the tgv station (which is 2e). Check this map. http://parisbytrain.com/wp-content/u...09/cdg_map.pdf .. there's moving walkways so you don't really need to run. Security can be painfully slow though

what class will you be traveling????i've taken this flight a number of times over the last few years & there tends to be a lot of confusion at the economy check-in counters....in case you are traveling in economy then you may want to arrive a little earlier....

Would be traveling economy. How much earlier would you recommend. Also can you elaborate on the confusion so that I can be more prepared. Thanks.

the last couple of times there were only 2 counters open for economy passengers so everyone was complaining that it was taking a long time to check in....i would suggest being there two & a half hours before your flight at least....

If you reach by 1945 at the TGV station, you have more than enough time with you. No sweat ! It will be the first counter when you enter terminal 2C. Check in closes an hour before, so you have a plenty of time in hand.

I am on the same flight in July - and land at the CDG TGV at 6 PM with ~ 4 hours to kill (less checkin, immigration and security). What would be the most reasonable restaurant in either 2E or 2C? France being France the food will, overall, be great but are there any specific recommendations?
