So you have to be back at the airport before these deadlines to go through security,\u00a0 pass the immigration checks (if flying outside Schengen) and be on time for your flight.<\/li>\n<li>The RER B from CDG airport takes between 40 minutes to 1 hour to reach Chatelet station in the center of Paris.<\/li>\n<li>From ORY airport, public transportation (Orlyval + RER B or metro line 14) or the bus takes between 30 minutes to 50 minutes to reach Chatelet station in the center of Paris.<\/li>\n<li>To be able to leave the airport, <strong>make sure you have a Schengen visa if you don\u2019t live in the European Union<\/strong> (EU). If you travel between countries belonging to the Schengen Area and live in an EU country, you won\u2019t need a visa. Otherwise, you can get one online before you leave or in the embassy of the country you want to visit (in this case, France).<\/li>\n<li><strong>If your luggage is checked through to your final destination<\/strong>, you won\u2019t have to pick it up in between your 2 flights. <strong>However, if they\u2019re not or if you have booked 2 different flights, you will have to pick them up<\/strong>. But you can leave them in the lockers available in the airport and re-check them in for your 2nd flight when you come back.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Please note from which terminal your second flight will leave<\/strong>. Indeed, for instance, the Paris &#8211; Charles de Gaulle airport has 2 different RER stations: one for Terminal 1 and 3 and another for Terminal 2).<\/li>\n<li><strong>If your second flight is to an EU country, you won\u2019t have to go through immigration<\/strong> when boarding that flight. If it is not an EU country, you will have less time for yourself as you will have to go through immigration in addition to security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For more information: <a href=\"http:\/\/easycdg.com\/passenger-information\/connecting-flight-connections-paris-cdg-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">http:\/\/easycdg.com\/passenger-information\/connecting-flight-connections-paris-cdg-airport\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Visits I Recommend for Your Layover<\/h2>\n<p>First, let&#8217;s locate these places on a map:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1a2s8DgnwBY6Lo0vB1rOlG0JBSdcVdmc&amp;ehbc=2E312F\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u26a0\ufe0f Warning:<\/strong> You might not be able to do all of these suggestions, so pick a few of them you want to do while taking into account the time you have between your flights.
