Where to go after landing
| Terminal | Meeting point | Typical time to the hall |
|---|---|---|
| Terminal 1 | Central arrivals hall, level 0 — look for your name board near the exit doors | About 35–55 min after landing (Schengen) |
| Terminal 2E (long-haul) | Arrivals hall after passport and bags — stay inside until you see your driver | About 60–90 min after landing |
| Terminal 2F (Schengen) | Compact hall — your driver is usually near the main information desk | About 25–40 min after landing |
| Terminal 3 (low-cost) | One main hall — through the arrivals doors to the indoor meet point | About 30–50 min (bus from plane may add a little) |

Book CDG → Paris transferWhat affects your timing
- Meet-and-greet is inside arrivals — much easier than coordinating on the pavement.
- T2 sectors (2A–2G) are linked by shuttle; the wrong letter can add 10–20 minutes.
- Free Wi‑Fi at CDG lets you send a quick message once your bag appears on the belt.
- After a long-haul flight, passport queues can add 30–45 minutes — totally normal.
- Low-cost flights at T3 sometimes include a bus ride from the plane to the terminal.
Common situations
Schengen flight, carry-on only
The quickest path — gate to arrivals hall in one building, no baggage belt.
A quick message when you land — pickup usually 15–25 minutes later.
US arrival at 2E
Passport and baggage lines can build up when several long-haul flights land together.
Share your flight number when booking — we track landing time and adjust for you.
Landing at T2G
Some flights park at remote T2G — the free CDGVAL train connects you to the main T2 sectors.
Follow the CDGVAL signs and let your driver know you landed at 2G.
Travelling with children
Strollers sometimes come out on the oversized baggage belt — nothing unusual.
Request a child seat when booking; meeting inside the hall keeps everyone comfortable.
Typical passenger mistakes
Looking for a taxi on the public rank outside
Your pre-booked driver waits inside arrivals with a name board. Going outside to the public taxi line usually means a long, confusing phone chase.
Telling the driver only “Terminal 2”, without the letter
2A, 2C and 2F are separate buildings, a long walk apart. Check the letter on your boarding pass so the car is sent to the right exit.
Switching off data as soon as you land
Airport Wi‑Fi is enough for a short “collecting my bag” message from the baggage hall, so the driver can time the pickup at the exit.
Getting ready
- 1
Check the terminal screens
Confirm T1, your T2 letter, or T3 as you leave the jet bridge.
- 2
Through passport and baggage
When you join a queue or spot your bag, a short message to your driver is perfect.
- 3
Walk to the meet point
Stay in the arrivals hall until you see your name on the board.
- 4
Head to the car together
Your driver knows the official pickup lane for your terminal — just follow along.
