Hafiz ZaidiApril 4, 2018Inefficient airport. Boarding passes should be scanned way before security check. Slow security check. Boring airport. Not so much cafe and shops provided.
David HuJune 28, 2013In Terminal 2C near check in counter 11, there is free wifi (6 hours!) through "AirFranceLounge". Any attempts to actually find the lounge for a stronger signal, however, will be futile.
Mats WeldesAugust 16, 2015At Terminal 2 shopping may be OK. At Terminal 1 shopping is virtually non-existent. Watch out for the prices on alcohol. They will add your country's alcohol tax! Shop in town or back home!
A Place In The WorldMay 2, 2012Have you been to Paris? send us your check in and put your signature on the place in the world
Christelle ANJanuary 13, 2017BEWARE of the airport taxis!!! After i paid the driver, he gave me back a fake card, took mine and withdrew cash from it! Just be careful and always ask for a cab that belongs to a known company.
Lydia BerkennouJanuary 28, 2015Nicer than Orly and easier to get to. Much cheaper as well and there are more shops.
Alex VolkovNovember 28, 2014Better to transfer with sky priority :) this airport loves and respects flying blue members who upgraded their flight.
If the air traffic control works as ground staff, I imagine it like "Oh, well, we did not expect you despite you come every evening, land on runway 1 or 2, just watch for other planes..."- Kenny Marek MøllerSeptember 17, 2012A moonbase-like airport. Easy to find your way. I really like it!
Mark ANovember 15, 2013Get connected for 6h by going to Terminal 2F outside gate F28-29, F32-33. The lounge is there and connects you for free!
Lai MunOctober 15, 2014Of all the big airports, this is one of the worse in terms of the way it works for crowd control. It's always crowded with long lines in and out of customs. What a hassle. Please plan waaaaay ahead
Waiting at the gates is entertaining, seating area is nice and arcade games and PS available free of charge
Maciej WiniarskiDecember 27, 2018Nice: shop selection, architecture, chime sound. Not nice: long security, passport machine didn’t accept my passport, lots of walking, vending machine declined cooperation. So overall is positive 😉
Goya RappozoJanuary 5, 2015Big and wild. Be prepared for big queues, long time waiting but comfortable places where to sit.
Praveen PaulsamyOctober 19, 2014Unlimited free wifi. (Shh!! Clear your browser cache and cookies every time your free 30 mins expires)
Sj7October 17, 2019Get to CDG at least 3 to 4hours prior if you’re on an international flight❕❕❕Lines are super long and slow
Abdelrahman IbrahimFebruary 9, 2015It's the first time for me being here at CDG, I do like it, the service, facilitators, and the stores.
Meliani ChandraSeptember 23, 2011One of many coolest airports I have ever been!! You can play PS3 and other games. There are also free magazines. Futuristic elevators! :)
Evgeniia TeplovaFebruary 22, 2016In order to get to city center of Paris you can get Roissy Bus. Destination: Opera. Price: 11€.
Darko RadisavljevicDecember 28, 2014Very big airport, yeah, there's a free wifi, you can charge your phone, laptop, tablet for free.
Zeynep OzdemirJune 27, 2013Purchased wi-fi for 90 minutes and it disconnected in every 2 minutes. Trying to regain access takes 20 minutes. And your time is up. Wow!
Vanessa C.May 31, 2013The tax refund is a nightmare!!!! There is a line to get the stamp and another line to get the money. After you get the stamp of course!!!
ErinJune 23, 2013Improved significantly over the years. There are game stations and even a piano on Concourse L.
DocumentallyMarch 20, 2014This place is often 'swarming'. Not because it's popular, but because many of the people here arrived in transit years ago and are yet to find their gate. Expect to see a lot of beards.
J. P. GrimaldiAugust 8, 2014Had to go through 3 different security gates before I take my flight, slow, confusing airport and some places smell like pee. Free wifi but you have to log back in every 15 mins or less.
Lani AikoJanuary 3, 2019It’s a huge airport but the transportation is good and Terminal 2 has a free lounge.
Mehrad WatsonNovember 23, 2023My Today's experience was good . No long queues , clean terminal and so kind staff
Terminal 2G is nowhere near the other terminals and you have to take a shuttle to get there...huge pain in the ass (once you get yourself un-lost in 2F).
Horatio BogbinderoJune 23, 2011Buy stuff in the city. It is cheaper than duty free in most cases then charge it with your card. Head for the duty free booths (normally at the arrivals area before you drop your bags) to get a refund
Lux LaCroixSeptember 3, 2014Fairly easy airport to maneuver around. The international terminal is pretty fab with lots of dining and shopping options.
Kim Dareing D'AllenJune 30, 2013This lady named Aurora at check in was so nice and helpful! Thank God! We had trouble with the self check in machines.
Andy AndersonDecember 8, 2013The Air France Business Lounge in Terminal 2C has some fantastic shower rooms to freshen up in. The bath products are excellent too...
Irfan MaghfoorMay 9, 2016Too big which leads to delays in security clearance. Otherwise it's a great place to kill a few hours between flights. Plenty of shops and eateries
Francisco DuweSeptember 9, 2014Easy connecting flights of Airfrance, just golpe Correspondance signos and you'll be at your gaste in 15 min.
AnnaNovember 6, 2019Don't forgot to collect your luggage! Very easy to miss. If you do, ring bell to get back in.
BrommaboOctober 30, 2016Experience in the airport can be very different depending which Terminal you use. Terminal 1 is just confusing, very little service and shops. Free WiFi for 90 minutes.
Arrive early - passport control lines are unnecessarily long.
Alison TanJune 20, 2014Tax refund? Customs is located on the 'shuttle' level below departures. Take the elevator down. Process takes about 45 minutes. Have with you: 1) Passport 2) E-ticket or boarding pass
Paul BruggerMay 30, 2013Tweet @FlightStatus with your flight number to receive real-time flight updates via Twitter :)
Elyse EstradaJune 25, 2014If you're in terminal L, go find the funky shaped lounge chairs and take a nap during your layover.
Nick KarditsasAugust 8, 2017Worst airport in the world! Totally chaotic, too many places to get lost. Something bad always happens to my bags every time I fly to or through! Avoid if at all possible!
Easy to get by. Online check in and self baggage drop off will save you tons of time
Fernando BarreraDecember 6, 2014CDG is a quite, flow, and peaceful airport during low-season..try it!!
amazing how they have kiosks to scan your receipts for tax refund.
Patricia WroblewskiDecember 19, 2015Great airport however staff lacks some knowledge as a result we were giving a few times wrong directions inside.
