Getting Around CDG Airport
CDG Airport features three main terminals, each designed to handle specific types of flights and airlines. Terminal 1, the oldest, primarily serves Star Alliance airlines and some Oneworld flights to the Middle East and Asia. Terminal 2 is split into several sub-terminals (2A to 2G), with 2A to 2F connected by elevated walkways. Terminal 2G, a satellite building, is accessible via a dedicated shuttle bus. Terminal 3 caters to charter and low-cost airlines. Understanding which terminal your flight departs from or arrives at can help you plan your movement within the airport.
For inter-terminal travel, the CDGVAL light-rail shuttle is your best bet. It links Terminal 2 to Terminals 1 and 3, including their respective parking lots, making it easy to move between terminals without stepping outside. If you're moving within Terminal 2, the interconnected sub-terminals (2A to 2F) can be navigated on foot via the elevated walkways, providing a seamless way to get from one section to another without the need for additional transport. However, if your travels take you to or from Terminal 2G, the shuttle bus is necessary as it's not directly connected to the other buildings.
