FAQ

How do I get between CDG terminals?

The CDGVAL automated train connects all terminals 24/7, running every 4 minutes. T2 internal connections (between 2A–2G) may require the N2 bus or walking through security.

Is there a spa at CDG for business class?

Yes. Air France business lounges in T2E and T2F include Clarins spa cabins with complimentary treatments including facials, massages, and skincare consultations.

How early should I arrive at CDG?

Arrive 3 hours before long-haul departures. CDG’s size means walking times can be significant. Priority security helps, but immigration for non-EU passports can be slow.
