And I've been through that airport 100s of times.

You need an overnight stay to get in and out reliably.

Time

Those familiar with the Paris airport - is a 4.5 hr layover enough time to get out and see a couple of things?

I’m familiar with airlines and any time that you plan on going out and seeing things during a layover

But if you don’t risk it, your second flight will be delayed so you could have actually done it

Not if you have to recheck your luggage.

It’s gonna be 45-60mins to get into the city so there goes 2 of your 4 hrs.

I would say no. CDG is notorious for long lines at security up to 2 hrs

Most times I've been through passport control there are huge lines and only 2 or

You would have time to take a taxi/uber in, get out and see the Eiffel Tower, and then turn around and head straight

CDG airport security is terrible so probably not

CDG is a maze and the local airlines have a different take on customer service.

No, you typically have to go through security again

Also, Rome is amazing…we just got back from there

Go to the hotel in the airport, rent a room and take a three hour nap.

ArcticKat

That’s an expensive nap.

Well worth it. Best nap I’ve ever taken.

ArcticKat

Probably not. You'll have to clear immigration, then clear security when you come back.

Just enjoy a few macarons in the airport and rest

Get lounge access, take a shower, and eat whatever you want

You can get a decent croissant or 3 while you wait though

LaVell's_Scowl

No! No! No! CDG is hard to navigate and far from the city center

justAnotherCoug

May 11, 10:27am

No, it is hard to get back to CDG

Thank you all. I was leaning hard no but my wife really wanted to “see Paris.” That will have to wait.

A couple hours in Paris would be torture. Paris is a city that deserves a few

Wouldn't even have that much. Airport is a long way from the city.

Former Parisian here. If your bags are checked through, it's day time, and you

No, and European cities aren’t the easiest or quickest to get around in anyway

Worst airport for getting thru queues. It’s a risk.

If you’re late, Air France will see that you had time to make it and wont rebook
