The Charles de Gaulle airport is also referred to as CDG or Roissy. Most of you will arrive at Charles de Gaulle. Please make sure you know which airport you are arriving at. If you are coming directly from the US, you will arrive at CDG, but if you are travelling internally in Europe or if you are not coming from a North American destination, you could be arriving at Orly, or even at Beauvais Airport (only RyanAir flights). One important note to keep in mind is that the Paris airports are VERY far from the city center, and transportation is complex and can be costly. Also, please plan on travelling for up to 1½-2 hours to arrive to your destination! (average commute from the airport is about 1 hour) These websites give you information about the different airports and airport transportation. http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/fr-FR/Passagers/Acces-Plans-Parking/ http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/en-GB/Passagers/Access-maps-car-parks/Paris-Orly/Access/public-transport/ http://www.ratp.fr/en/ratp/c_21879/tourists/ Plan Ahead First of all, be sure to check your flight itinerary to know where your flight will arrive.
