Traveling to Paris / Recommended Accommodations:

Traveling to and from Paris

· US legacy mainline carriers (American, Delta and United) plus Air France (code shares with Delta) all fly nonstop from their main US gateways to Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG).

· Many travel advisors suggest the best time to purchase international tickets is about 6 months prior to departure. Point to point non-stop service is usually the most expensive - ATL-CDG on Delta. Sometimes fares can be as much as half the non-stop fare by flying a legacy carrier from another legacy Carrie’s hub. For example, instead of ATL-CDG with Delta nonstop, look at United ATL to IAD (Washington Dulles), connecting to CDG. The same works for AA connecting in PHL or other AA hub cities.

Arrival & Departure Paris CDG

· United arrives and departs CDG Terminal 1

· American arrives and departs CDG Terminal 2B

· Delta arrives and departs CDG Terminal 2E (Air France gates)

Getting from CDG to central Paris

RER trains are regional express services that run every 10 minutes between the airport and the city center and stop at the main stations in Paris, including Paris Gare du Nord. The journey lasts approximately 30 minutes. https://www.about-paris.com/trains-to-paris-from-cdg-terminal-1.html

· From Terminal 2 - The quickest way to get from Aéroport CDG - Terminal 2B-2D to Terminal 2E is to towncar via Terminal 2E which costs €7 - €10 and takes 2 min.

Getting round Paris - The Paris METRO / RER / BUS

Use Google maps to guide you - it is very accurate.

· The Paris METRO is extensive with more than 12 “subway” lines running throughout the city. It is easily navigated using Google Maps, with clear directions for entry and exit for your desired destination.

· The RER (Reseau Express Regional) is a complement to the METRO providing a larger transport network in the center of Paris and to the suburbs and nearby tourist locations. The RER B is the train from CDG to central Paris.

· The Bus – more than 60-day routes and 40-night routes – very convenient for short distances and connecting METRO or RER stations.

· Passe NAVIGO – if you plan to use Paris public transport (METRO / RER / BUS as your primary means of transportation – the PASSE NAVIGO is a must. It is available for purchase any day of the week but expires at midnight each Sunday. Passe Navigo is available at the CDG RER Station and all other city METRO and RER stations. You will need a passport picture and photo ID for your initial purchase. (There is photo booths at the CDG ticket office). The 7-day pass is currently €35. This makes METRO travel so easy – just click you pass to go.

Safety on Paris Public Transportation

o The Parisian Metro is considered safe by most visitors, but passengers should be aware of safety points when using the public transport. Key Facts: Pickpockets are active on the Metro network (particularly in line 1 : the most touristic one). Keep your belongs close. Avoid large oversized, open top bags - zipper top closures.

o Avoid loud English and generally acting like a tourist. Know where you want to go and how to get there before boarding public transportation.
