[Idyllchat] Charles DeGaulle Airport

[bmercer985 at aol.com]

If by "transferring" you mean transferring to a connecting flight at 
CDG, I have these comments.

 1. There are three terminals at CDG.

 Terminal 1 handles international flights, excluding Air France.

  Terminal 2 with five separate halls handles Air France and other 
airlines flying to European destinations

 Terminal 3 primarily used by EasyJet (I think)

 2. The three terminals are connected by free shuttle buses.

  3. To prepare myself to navigate between terminals to make a 
connecting flight, I downloaded a map of the airport so that I would 
know ahead of time the location of the free shuttle buses and the 
location of the information desk where I could get help in English if I 
required it. Here is one link to an airport map.

  4. In addition to the map, I used Rick Steves Paris. He has a really 
good section with practical advice on navigating CDG.

  Using the map of the airport and Rick Steves, I had no problem making 
my flight connection to Spain. Notice I said I had no "problem" which 
is not to say I had no stress. CDG is always stressful to me when I 
have to change terminals to make a connecting flight. You DO NOT want a 
tight connection. Allow plenty of time.

  Meeting an Untour representative to go to a Paris apartment, however, 
has always been a piece of cake.

       Does anybody have any tips on transferring at CDG. My experiences 
have not been good.
