Charles de Gaulle has three terminals, and Terminal 2 alone has seven halls, from 2A to 2G. Terminal 2 is a long chain of halls, so knowing yours saves you a walk with your bags.
Used mainly by Lufthansa and many other Star Alliance airlines, plus a few others such as Qatar Airways. The round main building has seven satellites for boarding.
These halls serve a mix of airlines from all three alliances and many that belong to none. easyJet flies mainly from 2D, with some flights from 2B.
The Air France hub. Air France and many of its SkyTeam partners use 2E and 2F. Hall 2G is a separate building for Air France regional flights and Luxair within the Schengen area.
A smaller terminal for charter and low-cost airlines. Passengers board by bus, as there are no jet bridges.
We pick up from homes, hotels and offices across Paris and the surrounding area, including:
Local tip: Morning traffic on the A1 towards CDG can add 30 minutes. For flights before 10am we usually suggest leaving central Paris at least 3 hours before departure.
On the first Sunday of each month, the Champs-Élysées closes to traffic, from 10:00 to 17:00 between November and March and from 11:00 to 18:00 between April and October. If your pickup falls then, give us your hotel's exact address and allow a little extra time.
The 14 July military parade closes the avenue and many streets around it to traffic from early morning until mid-afternoon. Flying that day? Book ahead and allow extra time.
The free CDGVAL train links Terminal 1, Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 about every 4 minutes, from 04:00 to 01:00. The full ride takes about 8 minutes.
From 16 March 2027, Terminal 3 becomes Terminal 2, 2A and 2C become Terminal 3, 2B and 2D become Terminal 4, and 2E, 2F and 2G become Terminals 5, 6 and 7. Terminal 1 keeps its name.
