Work dinner, will I make it?
Landing CMB-CDG at 1920, and have a work dinner at the Park Hyatt Vendome in Paris at 2130. I will be in J with zero checked bags, only hand luggage. Can anyone chime in how long (typically) I should expect to take to deplane and make it curbside for a taxi on a Friday evening?

Last time I was in CDG (a few months ago) it took an hour from getting off the plane (in J) to taxi pickup. It definitely felt longer, with the hot and cramped bus ride from the ramp to customs. I did have to wait for a checked bag, too. So you should be fine.

You should be able to make it. I would check the estimated time for traffic -- Motorcycle taxis can be faster if you don't have much luggage.

Looking at my watch data, it was 1 hour and 33 minutes - I cant promise any reasonably accurate precision beyond that!
