Alessandro CandeoNovember 13, 2016The main international terminal of CDG airport offers a broad selection of shops and restaurants. Well connected to local transportation system and main land services. Free WiFi.Upvote21DownvoteUpvoted Jan 26
Alexandre Pelletier-NormandJune 17, 2012At boarding area 'L', if you have time you might want to go at the very end of the terminal (near gate L35). There is a nice view of the runway and a bunch of long chair if you're lucky.Upvote25DownvoteUpvoted Jan 27
Free Wi-Fi is now unlimited! You might need to re-log every once in a while thou..Upvote35Downvote
Tiffany ZFebruary 5, 2015Not the best terminal in Paris, but the layout in nice and spacious! There is a great vegetarian healthy cafe called Ekki! Definitely recommend it 😉

If at gates K21-29, go upstairs to 30 and more. Many more shops and places to eat. No lounge for Priority Pass anyway 😞Upvote1Downvote
Spencer TaylorSeptember 8, 2011This terminal is bright, clean and modern. It has ample seating and is very spacious. You are here to catch a plane not a film!Upvote4Downvote
Baptiste CMarch 23, 2013Free museum, ps3 game boxes, home cinema, wall garden, clean toilets.... This terminal is one the best i ever stayed. Only one thing is missing: unlimited free wifi :-)Upvote3Downvote
Look for acces no.1 if you are silver/gold frequent flyer or traveling by business/1st class. You will go thru immigration and security in a 5 mins compared to long wait in the general queue.Upvote1Downvote
Anthony PopeoJuly 3, 2017Check out the lounge areas at the end of the terminal. Super quiet and relaxing with a neat view if you have time for a breather.UpvoteDownvote
Andrea POctober 27, 2013Leave yourself plenty of time if you are transferring from another terminal to this one. The epic journey included 2 buses, passport control and endless linesUpvote3Downvote
IvoSeptember 4, 2024Very nice, but if you want to eat properly you better have that prior to getting here. Nothing but snacks, sandwiches and small plates. Don't expect a French experience in terms of food.UpvoteDownvote- Don't go to the restaurant upstairs,it's horrible. Go for a veg cafè Ekxi near K47 or Illy near K39.Try their cannolo siciliano YUMM...Upvote1Downvote
Juhani PolkkoJanuary 4, 2020Connecting flight from Orly airport with Air France? Get a free voucher for the Le Bus Direct from 2E Departures, desk 7.Upvote1Downvote
Michaela KravkováNovember 16, 2015Charge your phone for free in the boxes between gates K35 and K37; the wifi is unlimited but you need to re-log every 5 minsUpvoteDownvote
Katie KornApril 9, 2012Seriously people, have you ever been to the airport in st Petersburg, Russia? Trust me, this place and this terminal looks like palace, so stop complaining, this airport is awesome.Upvote2Downvote
Ada WongDecember 16, 2018There r lots of good shops but don’t have lots of food places... so I m forced to have fake Japanese food as my last meal in Paris :/

Ania KhrustalevaNovember 9, 2012If you take an early 7 a.m. flight and want to have tax free, note that customs only works starting from 6 a.m. (best case)Upvote1Downvote
Remi TrangOctober 17, 2012The "smoking area" at the end of the terminal by gate M50 is actually a nice outdoors patio for a breath of air before your 8+ flight !Upvote12Downvote
Ashley DiazJune 5, 2017Really good airport, it's big so you have to walk a little bit.UpvoteDownvote
Taras GurkoNovember 11, 2012I love u for the tip about the smoking area! The best smoking area by far of any airports in existance!Upvote2Downvote
Charles HDecember 17, 2012New clean and quiet terminal. Try the fast food restaurant lots of organic and healthy salads.UpvoteDownvote
Snack and drinks at Cafe in front of GateE40 are relatively inexpensive and tasty than take-away restaurant at 3rd floor.UpvoteDownvote
Eric BellOctober 1, 2015NB: Terminal 2E is at least three buildings connected by a tram, each with their own security checkpoints. Verify your gate.UpvoteDownvote
Bruno G.January 27, 2012... while waiting (PS3, bookstore, nap-designed areas...), people might be unpleasant but it's France, so what do you expect? Air France is often a safe bet, as far as companies are concerned.UpvoteDownvote

Arturo SalazarDecember 20, 2010illy cafe @ gate 28 offers short but good options of food and decent coffee. As a desser, try the Tiramisu, you wont regret it. Play station area nearby.UpvoteDownvote
Steve ChoiMay 6, 2013If you say Thanks or Merci, they will serve very kind! Make smile world :)Upvote2Downvote
tais ~ 🌸June 25, 2019Shutters by bus to connect terminals may take even 10 minutes. Allow extra time when connecting flights.UpvoteDownvote
Stuart LawrenceMay 16, 2018Eat before you go airside if you want more than a sandwich. Pretty sorry state for an international terminal, run down and feels very old.Upvote1Downvote
Alex CurielDecember 19, 2018Air France’s main Terminal. Most flights are non-schengen! Also served by DeltaUpvote1Downvote
Bianca ShawAugust 19, 2012Go to Charles DeGaulle at your own peril. If you go, make sure you have a multi-hour layover. Security line is massive!UpvoteDownvote
Io As SoonFebruary 11, 2019This part of the airport is better then the 2F. Also the lounge Air FranceUpvoteDownvote
Alyona SFebruary 1, 2019absolutely crazy and slow self-luggage drop service. even if your tickets costs 300 euro+ 🤨UpvoteDownvote
- Food selection in K gates is fairly limited. Food court food looks like it's been sitting there for a while. You'll have to survive on cold sandwiches and salads.UpvoteDownvote
Bring an empty bottle and fill it up for free at the drinking fountain located next to the bathroom at the end of terminal, by gate E44.

Ilja ShatilinSeptember 8, 2013Note that the terminal is divided into several zones, so check your gate letter, you might need to take a bus or train INSIDE the terminal.UpvoteDownvote
Best cigar shop in CDG is in S3, the part of 2E accessed with the shuttle (gates 51 onwards)UpvoteDownvote
Brendan ElliottJanuary 15, 2018Worst airport terminal I have ever been to!!! Hardly any food options and then at 9:30pm most food had sold out. Useless staff, had to have a boarding pass to purchase food WTF! Steer clear.UpvoteDownvote
Ulla SaariJanuary 4, 2011AF business lounge at CDG 2E is the best one I have visited ever, food-wise. (a bit crowded though)Upvote1Downvote- Katie KornApril 9, 2012Omg and people complain about queues and security system! There's nooo security system or queues! People just stand as unorganized moving mass thereUpvoteDownvote
Sushil HadgeNovember 9, 2012Best terminal in CDG paris. But wifi is free only for 15 mins.UpvoteDownvote
Meg RobertsonDecember 31, 2012Eat before you get here or buy food before you come through security! Nowhere to eat or even get coffee except Le Kiosque and their sad premade sandwiches. Also, NO airport bar... for shame!Upvote2Downvote
Armen DevejianJuly 25, 2011If at all possible, avoid CDG. When transiting through Europe, LHR or Amsterdam is your best bet. Munich's good too, but smaller.UpvoteDownvote
Moe MajorsSeptember 7, 2012Grab a Laduree club sandwich, but bring some extra cash, 'cause it ain't cheap!UpvoteDownvote
Alex S.August 20, 2012I disagree with another poster who claimed that Air France is a bad company. In fact, it is much better than most US companies: the food and service is much better.UpvoteDownvote
