Question about Hand Luggage

All the flights scheduled at 2E have been dispatched to the other terminals. (2A 2B 2C 2D 2F). No risk .

Feel free to ask if you need no information.

Nope. All the 2E terminal is closed.
Which airlines ?

He’s flying the cheapest there was available at the time, Air France. He’s not willing to play a little more in order to fly Star Alliance, even though he’s a UA frequent flyer, as well. 😉 Granted my wife got a decent fare on Lufthansa (she’s not allowed to fly non-star carriers), but she’s arriving well before, and departing well after the Olympics are done.

My brother is flying though CDG this summer. Are gates for LAX inbounds and ATH outbounds anywhere near the danger zone?

Make sure you bring your hardhat.

LOL! Actually, I have had family members warning me to take care that I don’t get hit by a flying piece of roof in CDG. This was from the same people who were worried I’d get bombed when I went to Madrid a couple of weeks ago! I have assured them all that I’m not going near 2E. I will keep a look out for it though as all the pictures I’ve seen of it make it look horrendous.

No problem mate. It’s easy and fast. You have signs everywhere to tell you where to go if you want to go from one terminal to the other.

Cheers mate. That’s good to know. I’m sure I’ll enjoy my weekend home & I’ll attempt to write a trip report when I get back.

Thanks again for all the info everyone.

LOL Robert! I suppose the cable used to charge it could be a dangerous weapon but thats about it.

Hand: Thanks for the map mate. It looks very easy. The only thing I’m a bit puzzled about is it looks like I have to go landside to make the connection. Isn’t there any kind of airside walkway or shuttle bus? Sorry to be a pain & ask all these questions but I have been warned that CDG is a nightmare so I want to be as prepared a possible beforehand.

Thanks again guys for being so helpful

You don’t have to go landside.
You can either walk down the corridors or pick the shuttle. There ae many signs and the airport crew speaks english.

you are hardly going to plug it in and shave sum1 to death! lol mind you it might be a close cut

All the T2 terminals are next to each other.Expect 10 mn walking from 2B to 2F

See the attached link for details.

Have a nice trip.

I’m 60 years old and have run from one end of CDG to the other in 20 minutes so you should be OK (unless you get lost, misled by the confusing signs!).
Of course I did later have a heart attack, but that was nothing to do with it!

One other thing I’ve just thought of that I’m sure someone can answer. When I change flights in CDG I have nearly 2 hours on the outbound but only about 1 1/4 hours on the return to get between terminal 2B & 2F. Should this be enough time or will I be running as I’ve heard that CDG is a pain to change in.

Thanks again

I know this is a bit of a strange question but I do need some help with it as I have failed to get an answer from anywhere else.

I am flying with Air France next week (BIQ-CDG-MAN-CDG-BIQ) and as I’m just going for the weekend I only want to take hand luggage. The problem is I want to take my electric razor but am unsure if this is allowed in the cabin. I know I can’t take a normal razor in hand luggage. I’ve checked AF’s website & phoned them but cannot get a straight answer (I was advised to put it in my checked luggage “just in case” but I do not want to check any luggage in case it should go missing as it would be a pain in the a**e when I’m only going to be in the UK one night).

If anyone knows what the general regulations or AF’s regulations are for electric razors (which can’t really harm anyone) I would be very grateful if you could let me know.

Thanks in advance

I have flown after September 2001 all the time with a razor (not electrical) in my hand luggae, Never had a problem with it. Just shows you how good security is.

That’s concistent with AF …. 🙁

I wouldn’t know as I haven’t really had any dealings with them before. I was however quite impressed with the lady at the BIQ ticket desk when I went there as I had a problem with my ticket. Somehow AF had my surname dwon as my forename and vice versa. I phoned them and they said as it was a restricted fare I would have to pay to have my ticket re-issued. I went to BIQ to do this & instead of charging me, the lady changed my paper ticket to an e-ticket so she didn’t have to re-issue it & therefore could do it for free. Good service there.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I didn’t think I’d have a problem but I just got a little worried when I rang AF and they didn’t have a clue on the rules and told me to pack it in my checked luggage.

Thanks again.

Yes BIQ is Biarritz.
The last time I flew AF , I had my electric razor in a hand luggage.

I can tell you it is ok, as I always do that. (At least since they lost my luggage and I was with a 2 days beard and no razor on arrival 😉 )

Biarritz?
