Amazing airport indeed
I will have to do this exact route for my connection flight to Vienna. Thanks for filming!
thanks for the video friend. Paris Airport is massive
Yes, indeed friend
Good video! Thanks!
Thanks for your support :)
This video is INCREDIBLY useful for someone like me that will be connecting flights for the first time in CDG, thanks a ton for making it! :D
When was this filmed? Looks like low season and everything seems to go pretty quick, which is great!
Glad it was helpful! This video was taken in late 2021
Thank you so much for the breakdown/walk through! Will definitely be watching this if I ever need to connect in Paris for a layover 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Terminal E is so hudge ! With halls K, L and M , Roissy CDG is a very nice airport and we are waiting for essential extensions !
Yes the terminal is huge, but luckily there are few walkalator to speed up your journey
Do I need to go through customs/immigration to transfer terminal even though I only have carry on and not baggages that needs to be checked?
Great video! How can I go to gate 2G? I need to go first to F? Thank you 🙏🏻
Meu Deus! Que medo! Farei esse mesmo trajeto daqui a 1 semana,estou em pânico!😅😅
Certifique-se de seguir todos os sinais. Viagens felizes :)
If you fly business class will there be a special lane for the passport control during the transfer?
Do you know if there are Priority (Business class) lines for the security/passport check area, which might make things move quicker?
Air France business class seats offer sky priority lines for faster security checks
hi did you hold a transit visa while transit
I have to transfer from 2E to 2F with only a 1 hour 15 minute connection. How long do you think a typical transfer between the two takes? my flight will depart around 3:40 in the afternoon.
Bus transport is really slow. Border control was really fast. Make sure to take N2 bus loop
Is everything good to find and signed? How long did you need??? I only have 1.10 hours until boarding my next flight 😮
It should be fine. Watch out the long line by the buses
Same here. How did it go where did you have to connect from/to?
Cuando llego al aeropuerto CDG por la Terminal 2E como se a qué Hall (L, M, K) debo dirigirme??
3:40 Puedes buscar tu vuelo en el tablón de conexiones
question if you flight arrives at 2E ( gate K) then you don't need to take the train ? I'm flying from Montreal to CDG and have only 1 hours 20 minutes for connection to Naples on Air France so bit worried how tight it will be.
How was it?
I have a layover of 23 hours and my flight arrives at TERMINAL 2E from bangalore and departs from Terminal 2F to Porto. I have a Schengen visa with me as well. Can I leave the airport and if yes should I leave from terminal 2E ..Any help please ?
France is part of the Schengen zone, so you can leave airport and come back
I have a connecting flight in CDG on air france coming from Athens flying to San Francisco. My layover is only 55 mintues from 2E to 2F. I am hopping I don't make it on time so I can spend a day in Paris. Any suggestions?
Just a 15 minute delay in Athens would do :D
This is a great airport! It has a Amex lounge right?
Unfortunately, no Amex lounge 😔
I have a 1H 10min connecting flight I just hope it’s enough time 😅
Just make sure you have your running shoes on. You will be fine 👍
Is two n a half hour layover enough to catch up the connecting flight at 2E terminal
That is plenty of time. Happy travels
Hiiiii are shuttle N1 and N2 going every 5 minutes? Do you mean the train as shuttle? So i better take N2 when i have to go to 2F? Or what do you mean by shuttle? 😊
N1 runs every 10 mins and N2 runs every 5 mins. Take N2. It is quicker to 2F
@@throughmyhand is it the train N2? Which bus do you mean? I didn‘t see any bus in your video??? 😜
@@susisusi4372 It is bus. Unfortunately, it was too crowded to record
@@throughmyhand hiiiii but where is the bus? After the train and after the passport control or where do i have to take it?
En la parte de 8.30 del video creo que tienes un error pusiste terminal 2E(k) debería ser terminal 2f (k), pienso yo.
Paradas de tren automatizadas en la terminal 2E (K). Deberá tomar el autobús N2 para llegar a la terminal 2F.
Que aeropuerto tan grande todo lo que hay que caminar deberian poner carritos mucho caminar
Este aeropuerto necesita más walkalators
@@throughmyhand eso que es ???
How long took you to go from de 2E to the 2F
It really depends on your 2E Gates. Gate M will take you the longest at 45-50 minutes
Is it necessary to travel.with a shuttle after the navette
You can skip the first shuttle but you will need to walk a lot. Unfortunately, the bus cannot be skipped
How much time does it usually take to cover this distance including security procedures?
entire distance will take ~45-55 minutes
@@throughmyhand thanks! This video calms me. My connection flight to Amsterdam is 2:15hrs after landing at CDG. Hope I make it well in time! Appreciate you uploading this video and replying in a jiffy!
@@JustAnotherCoupleInCanada You are most welcome
@@JustAnotherCoupleInCanada do we need transit visa...i also need to go from cdg to Amsterdam
@@creativegenivisu No it's all in the Schengen area which means it's a bit like the same country. No transit visa needed, your intra Schengen flight is equivalent to a domestic flight.
I’m doing this on Saturday. Hope nothing goes wrong, connection time is only 1 hour 15 mins.
Everything is quick, except for catching the N1 buses
I’m a bit nervous I get held up at passport control as I didn’t receive an exit stamp the last time I travelled back from EU and passport technically shows I haven’t left 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@joefinn8638 Border Control folks in CDG were super nice. I would not worry about it too much
Is shuttle train running in both directions i.e.K to M and M to K on terminal 2E
@@abc_xyz1803 yes it runs both directions
We have 4 hours transit. Is it enough to get the next flight?
That is plenty of time. I had only 90 minutes to transit to the next leg
@@throughmyhand Thank you
do you have a transit visa or we need to get transit visa without passport control
Il n'y a pas de douane ?
malheureusement, je n'ai pas été autorisé à enregistrer
No one is showing that if you have any checked luggage YOU NEED TO COLLECT YOUR LUGGAGE AND MANUALLY MOVE IT to your next airline luggage collection area. Even though your luggage is already tagged to your final destination!!! then you have to run and go through passport control and TSA screening again with your carry on and personal baggage. I found that at busy times a 3 hour layover is the least amount of layover time you can possibly make your next flight without RUNNING to board. Planes start boarding around 40 minutes before depart time but the close the doors to the plane at least 10 minutes before the departure time. If you get there and the doors are closed THEY WILL NOT let you board.
I’ve had to do the above procedures in both 2021 and 2022 when arriving in Paris and transferring to a connecting flight even when both my arrival and next flight were on Air France. I was scheduled to have a 3 hour layover both years. Last year my arrival at CDG was close to an hour late, after transferring my checked bag to the connecting flight it DID NOT make my flight into Barcelona. It took 3 days for my checked bag to arrive at my lodging.
Thanks for the detailed comment. This information is really helpful for everyone connecting through CDG airport. I was only traveling with a carry-on on my trip to southern France
For separate tickets
It's the same everywhere in Europe when you arrive from a non-Schengen country and enter the Schengen area.
Because the first airport you land at that is in the Schengen area is your de facto Schengen point of immigration & customs check, not your final destination.
If you flew with, let's say, Lufthansa from New York to Bordeaux via Frankfurt, it will be the same procedure in Frankfurt as in Paris CDG because your entry in the Schengen area is Frankfurt. You'll pass immigration and customs checks in Frankfurt.
The Frankfurt to Bordeaux flight may be international but it is equivalent to a domestic one as both Germany and France are in the Schengen area, there's no immigration or customs between the two or any other Schengen area countries.
This isn't specific to any airport or airline. The moment you exit the international area and enter the domestic side of the Schengen area, your luggage must be collected as you *will* go through immigration and customs.
However, if your origin and destination are *both* *outside* the Schengen area, so you're not taking any intra-Schengen flights then your luggage should follow automatically. Because in this case you never enter any other country in-between and did not take any domestic or domestic-like flights. You stayed in full international area during your transfer..
Example :
New York to Marrakech via Paris > luggage stays in the system and you only collect them in Marrakech before passing Moroccan immigration and customs. USA and Morocco are not Schengen countries.
New York to Milano via Amsterdam and Lyon > the NY to AMS leg is fully international, you will collect your luggage and pass immigration and customs in Amsterdam, while both the Amsterdam to Lyon and Lyon to Milano legs are intra-Schengen flights equivalent to domestic flights, your luggage should follow automatically between the 2 last legs and you will *not* pass immigration or customs.
The Schengen area is the large zone formed by the customs and immigration union of most EU countries plus some others like Switzerland, etc.
It's pretty much the same in the US, last time I flew from Europe and had a connection in an American airport to another American airport, I had to collect my luggage and go through immigration and customs before transferring to the domestic leg of my journey.
@@KyrilPGSo if I am flying from US to Denmark and transfer in Paris. I do have to do immigration but do I have to do customs in Paris instead of Denmark?
@@jeep146 Yes, but customs in Europe are pretty easy.
Denmark and France are both in the Schengen area, so there's no controls or customs checks between the two.
Your point of control is your first point of entry in the Schengen area, not your destination if it's in the Schengen area.
A flight between two airports that are in the Schengen area is pretty much like a domestic flight.
But that shouldn't worry you in any way, customs are usually after immigration and after luggage retrieval and it wouldn't make any difference for you whether it's the French or Danish customs.
Though, there can be "flying customs" but it's not a border thing (customs that can check people anywhere).
If there's no Schengen specific terminal or sector at Copenhagen, or if your intra European flight is docked to the international sector / terminal for some reason, you could be mixed with extra European flights and then have to pass through the " customs corridor".
It's often the case at Barcelona's airport where passengers from the other side of the globe can be mixed with Schengen travelers.
Customs officers simply know the schedules and look at luggage tags (Schengen tags usually have a distinctive color) and let all the Schengen passengers go without any controls (except for maybe very specific exceptions).
The Schengen area is part of the customs union of the EU.
So you should only pass customs in the first airport you land at when coming from outside the Schengen area.
Exactly like you would when going back to the US : if you fly from Paris to Denver via Atlanta for example, you will pass immigration and customs in Atlanta, not Denver.
Though in Paris you may not even see that you've passed customs :
Customs are located after the luggage carousels and if your flight comes from the US, Canada or Japan, etc., and if there are no flights "of interest" for the customs arriving at the same time in the same terminal, then chances are you won't see any customs officers and just pass through without even noticing.
Last time I landed back in Paris from the New York, there were only US and Canada flights arriving and the customs bureau wasn't open. They'd wait for the African or South American flights to show up.
Where did You get a bus
10:17 After the security check there is bus that will shuttle you to Terminal 2F. Make sure to take N2 bus loop
What is the N2 bus loop? The name of the bus ?

Hi, I have a layover at this airport next week, I have to go from terminal 2E to 2F. I have seen your video and I think it will help me a lot, I just got a bit confused because when you get off the shuttle, you say it is terminal 2E(K) so is that where I should get off and from there is it possible to get to 2F? AND... And which shuttle did you take to get to Terminal 2F?
Gracias!
Hi, can someone who is not a European citizen and does not have a Schengen visa make this transfer?
Hay poca gente
Llegamos temprano en la mañana
Tengo un viaje a París alguien me puede decir en que terminal ea donde tengo que hacer migración?

I have even seen Rats inside the food display cabinets in this airport. The Air France services are not at the best standard when comparing with rich counties like Qatar and UAE. Also the staff strikes most of the year and not efficient. They are not even ready to handle Olympics, metro stations are outdated with lot of stairs to walk.
