Getting Around CDG Airport
Charles de Gaulle Airport consists of three main terminals: Terminal 1, Terminal 2, and Terminal 3. Terminal 1 is the oldest and is located opposite Terminal 3. Terminal 2 is the largest, featuring seven sub-terminals (2A to 2G). Terminals 2A to 2F are interconnected by elevated walkways, making it easy to navigate between them. Terminal 2G, however, is a satellite terminal and requires a shuttle bus for access. Terminal 3 primarily serves charter and low-cost airlines.
To move between terminals, passengers can use the CDGVAL light-rail shuttle, which links Terminal 2 with Terminals 1 and 3. This shuttle runs frequently and is a convenient way to travel across the airport. Additionally, clear signage throughout the airport helps guide travelers to their destinations. For those needing assistance, information desks are strategically located in each terminal to provide guidance and support.
When navigating Terminal 2, be aware that it was originally built for Air France but now accommodates multiple airlines. The terminal is divided into zones based on airline alliances: Star Alliance airlines mainly use Terminal 1, while Oneworld airlines are split between Terminal 1 and 2B, and SkyTeam airlines operate from Terminals 2E and 2F. Pay attention to your flight information to ensure you head to the correct terminal and sub-terminal for your departure or arrival.
