Flight departures and arrivals
Check real-time flight status at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) (CDG). Review schedules and possible delays before heading to the terminal or arranging your transportation.
Transportation and ground access
The airport is connected to Paris by the RER B suburban railway, buses, taxis and the metropolitan road network. It also has a TGV high-speed railway station for travel to other cities. Railway stations and transportation departure points vary depending on the terminal.
Direct journeys between the airport and Paris are subject to official fixed fares:
- Right Bank of the Seine: €56.
- Left Bank of the Seine: €65.
These fares apply to destinations within Paris. For other towns and cities in the surrounding region, fares depend on the journey and applicable service conditions.
Taxis are convenient for travelling directly to accommodation, particularly when carrying large suitcases or reaching destinations that would otherwise require several public transportation transfers.
- Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1: an RER B station serving Terminal 3 on foot and Terminal 1 via the free CDGVAL automated train.
- Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV: a railway station within the Terminal 2 complex, served by both the RER B and TGV high-speed trains.
The RER B connects the airport with Paris stations including Gare du Nord, Châtelet–Les Halles and Saint-Michel–Notre-Dame. Journeys to central Paris generally take approximately 35–50 minutes, depending on the destination.
TGV services allow passengers to travel directly to other cities without first travelling into central Paris.
If you arrive at Terminal 1, you can take CDGVAL to reach the RER B station. From Terminal 2, follow the railway station signs located throughout the terminal complex.
Main services include:
- Route 350: connects the airport with Porte de la Chapelle in northern Paris.
- Route 351: provides a connection to Nation in eastern Paris.
- Express 9517: connects Roissypôle with Saint-Denis Pleyel and Argenteuil, providing access to the Metro network, including Line 14.
- Night buses N140 and N143: provide connections towards Paris, including Gare de l’Est, outside normal daytime rail operating hours.
Roissypôle, located near Terminal 3 and accessible from other terminals by CDGVAL, is one of the airport’s main bus transportation hubs.
Buses can be useful for reaching specific destinations or travelling at night, although the RER B is generally more direct for journeys into central Paris during the day.
Vehicles are collected and returned at designated parking areas or facilities assigned by each rental company.
Before booking, passengers should check the location of their rental counter and vehicle collection point, as the airport is extensive and some facilities may require transfers between terminals.
Getting between terminals
The terminals at Charles de Gaulle are spread across separate buildings and are connected by the automated CDGVAL train, free shuttle buses and signposted pedestrian routes.
- CDGVAL: a free automated train connecting Terminal 1, Terminal 3/Roissypôle and Terminal 2, as well as the PR and PX car parks. It operates for most of the day, with replacement buses during the overnight service interruption.
- N1 and N2 shuttle buses: free services connecting different parts of Terminal 2. Route N2 provides transportation between T2F and T2G, which is separate from the other terminal buildings.
- Connecting flights: passengers transferring between flights without leaving the transit area may use dedicated airside shuttles by following the airport’s flight connection signs.
Terminal 2G does not have a direct pedestrian connection to the other Terminal 2 buildings, so passengers must use the designated transportation service.
If you have a connecting flight, check your departure terminal and concourse, along with any required security or immigration procedures. The appropriate route depends on whether you remain in transit or need to enter the airport’s public areas.
