Paris CDG Terminals

How Many Terminals Does CDG Airport Have?

Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) Airport has three passenger terminals — Terminal 1, Terminal 2 (seven halls, 2A–2G) and Terminal 3 — linked by the free CDGVAL train and shuttle buses. Terminal 2 is the largest and handles the most airlines; Terminal 3 mainly serves low-cost and charter flights.

Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport is a vast aviation complex made up of three main passenger terminals. Handling more than 200,000 passengers per day, CDG consistently ranks among the ten busiest airports worldwide. Due to steadily increasing passenger numbers, plans were once introduced for the construction of a fourth terminal. However, following the COVID-19 pandemic and concerns related to environmental impact, the project was ultimately suspended.

Always confirm before you travel. Airlines are moved between halls when terminals are renovated or when a route switches between Schengen and non-Schengen, and a few carriers use different halls for departures and arrivals. Your boarding pass shows the definitive terminal — or check the live CDG departures board and arrivals board, which show the terminal and gate for every flight on the day.

Terminal 1 at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Terminal 1 is the oldest terminal at CDG Airport and mainly serves international flights operated by airlines other than Air France, although a limited number of Air France international routes also depart from this terminal.

Airlines at Terminal 1: Terminal 1 is the Star Alliance home at CDG — Lufthansa, United Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Air China, All Nippon Airways (ANA), Asiana Airlines, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, EVA Air, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Egyptair and Avianca all check in here. It also handles Qatar Airways, SriLankan Airlines, Saudia, Aer Lingus, Etihad Airways, Eurowings, Icelandair and Kuwait Airways. Note the Star Alliance exceptions: Air Canada and Air India use Terminal 2C, Aegean, Croatia Airlines and LOT Polish Airlines use 2D, and Ethiopian Airlines uses 2A.

The terminal has a unique circular design often compared to an octopus, spread across five levels. The central circular structure hosts most passenger services, while boarding gates are located in seven satellite buildings connected to the main terminal by underground tunnels with moving walkways. The satellite buildings are not interconnected with one another.

The ground level of Terminal 1 is not accessible to passengers. The remaining four levels are organized as follows:

Level 2: CDGVAL station, selected retail outlets, food court, and Check-in Areas 5 and 6.
Level 3: Departures level with Check-in Areas 1–4 and all ticketing counters.
Level 4: Airside boarding level, duty-free area, and access to the seven boarding satellites via pedestrian tunnels.
Level 5: Arrivals level with baggage claim zones and direct access to buses, taxis, and ground transportation.

Terminal 2 at Roissy Airport

Terminal 2 is the largest and most complex terminal at CDG Airport. Originally built to serve Air France, it has expanded over time into a group of seven sub-terminals, each with distinct functions.

CDG Terminal 2A

Terminal 2A contains Check-in Areas 1–8 and Boarding Gates A and C. It consists of two levels, with Arrivals on the ground floor and Departures on the upper level.

Airlines at Terminal 2A: American Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Malaysia Airlines, Qantas, Ethiopian Airlines, XiamenAir, LATAM Airlines, Air Austral, Air Senegal and Air Côte d'Ivoire.

CDG Terminal 2B

Recently reopened after extensive renovations, Terminal 2B includes Check-in Areas 1 and 2 and Boarding Gates B and C.

Airlines at Terminal 2B: Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), ITA Airways, Royal Air Maroc, El Al, JetBlue, airBaltic, KM Malta Airlines, Air Montenegro and Sky Express.

CDG Terminal 2C

Terminal 2C is arranged over two levels, with Arrivals on the lower floor and Departures on the upper floor, serving Boarding Gates C.

Airlines at Terminal 2C: British Airways, Air Canada, WestJet, Emirates, Air India, Aeroméxico, Vietnam Airlines, Kenya Airways, Oman Air, Royal Jordanian, Gulf Air and Aircalin. This is the hall North American travellers most often need after Terminal 2E.

CDG Terminal 2D

Terminal 2D follows a similar layout to 2C, with Boarding Gates D located on the Departures level.

Airlines at Terminal 2D: easyJet, Finnair, Aegean Airlines, Croatia Airlines, LOT Polish Airlines, Norwegian, Air Serbia, Air Algérie, Georgian Airways, Air Tahiti Nui and Atlantic Airways.

CDG Terminal 2E

Terminal 2E is the largest section of Terminal 2 and serves long-haul international flights, non-Schengen destinations, and SkyTeam alliance airlines. It features Check-in Areas 2–13 and Boarding Gates K, L, and M.

Please note that Gates L (Satellite S3) and M (Satellite S4) are accessible only via the airport’s internal transit train. Terminal 2E also hosts the YOTEL Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, available exclusively to passengers holding a valid T2E boarding pass.

Airlines at Terminal 2E: Air France long-haul and non-Schengen flights, plus its SkyTeam partners Delta Air Lines, Korean Air, China Eastern Airlines and China Southern Airlines, together with Japan Airlines and Air Mauritius. If you are flying to or from the United States, this is almost always your hall.

Terminal 2F includes Check-in Areas 1–7 and Boarding Gates F. It serves a large number of European and Schengen flights and handles significant transit traffic.

Airlines at Terminal 2F: Air France Schengen and short-haul flights, KLM and TAROM.

CDG Terminal 2G

Terminal 2G is the smallest and only fully detached sub-terminal within Terminal 2. Located approximately 800 meters from the main T2 complex, it primarily handles Air France domestic and short-haul European flights within the Schengen Area.

Airlines at Terminal 2G: Air France regional flights (operated by HOP) and Luxair.

Our Tip: Terminal 2G was originally built exclusively for Air France operations. Allow at least 30 extra minutes — 2G is reachable only by the free N2 shuttle bus.

Terminal 3 at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Terminal 3 is located opposite Terminal 1, approximately 1 km (0.6 miles) away. It mainly serves charter flights and low-cost carriers. The terminal consists of a single building, with Arrivals on the north side and Departures on the south side.

The Departures area is divided into two halls: Hall A and Hall B.

Transfers Between CDG Airport Terminals

All three terminals at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport are connected by the CDGVAL automated train system and free shuttle buses.

The CDGVAL driverless train connects Terminals 1, 2, and 3. It operates daily from 04:00 to 01:00, runs every four minutes, and completes inter-terminal journeys in approximately eight minutes.

Within Terminal 2, sub-terminals T2A through T2F are connected by pedestrian walkways and are accessible on foot. However, Terminal 2G is located 800 meters away and can only be reached via shuttle services.

N1 Shuttle: Operates 24/7 every 10–15 minutes, stopping at all T2 sub-terminals (except T2G), the PW Car Park, and the SNCF railway station.
N2 Shuttle: Connects T2E and T2F with the remote T2G. Runs from 05:30 to 23:00 every five minutes, with a travel time of approximately 15 minutes.
Important: N2 stops at T2E only between 21:30 and 23:00.
LISA Shuttle: Airside shuttle linking Halls K, L, and M within Terminal 2E. Available only to passengers who have passed security screening.

To travel between Terminal 3 and the other terminals, passengers may use either the CDGVAL automated train or an airport taxi.
