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

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

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

No, you typically have to go through security again

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

That’s an expensive nap.

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

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

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

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

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

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