Charles De Gaulle Airport

Next to London Heathrow, the Charles De Gaulle Airport is the busiest airport in all of Europe. Located 14 miles from the City of Lights, the Charles De Gaulle Airport was actually one of the first European airports to incorporate train transportation into its system.

Today, the airport features three terminals that cater to the millions of passengers who are passing through the airport gates every year. Terminal 1 serves international flights, while Terminal 2 handles Air France and other flights for European destinations. Terminal T9 exclusively caters to charter flights.

The Paris CDG Airport is also home to a variety of shops where passengers may while away the time upon landing or while waiting for their flights. There is a duty-free shop, which offers guests the opportunity to find designer clothing at tax-free prices. The fact that Paris is one of the fashion capitals of the world gives travellers even more reason to visit the duty-free shops. There are also gift shops where one may find books, magazines, accessories, souvenirs and other last-minute travel essentials.

Business travellers who will be using the airport may also spend some time at the lounges where internet access is available and executives can work in peace. Photocopying and fax facilities are also available. Those who need to conduct meetings may also book the airport’s conference facilities.

Being one of the largest airports in Europe, the Charles De Gaulle Airport also features excellent car hire services. Travellers are advised to book online to avoid long waits.
