  "connection_tips": "Connecting through Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is a complex process due to its vast size and the distinct layouts of its three primary terminals. The most critical air 'connection' tip is to strictly follow the yellow 'Correspondances' (Connecting Flights) signage rather than exiting toward baggage claim. For transfers between Terminals 1, 2, and 3, utilize the free CDGVAL automated shuttle, which runs every 4 minutes from 04:00 to 01:00. A paramount logistical tip: allow at least 90 minutes for any inter-terminal connection, and up to 3 hours for self-connections or non-Schengen to Schengen transfers that require clearing French border control (ePARAFE e-gates are available for eligible biometric passports).\n\nWithin Terminal 2, many halls are connected airside, but Terminal 2G is remote and requires the dedicated N2 shuttle from hall 2F; allow an extra 30\u201340 minutes for this leg. For international-to-international transfers where bags are checked through, you typically remain airside but may still clear a security checkpoint. If your connection involves a change from CDG to Paris Orly (ORY), be aware that this requires a 60\u201390 minute road transfer via the Le Bus Direct or RER B train; allow a total buffer of 4\u20135 hours for this 'cross-city' connection.\n\nFrom a technical perspective, the airport features multiple runway pairs (08/26 and 09/27) which can lead to long taxi times of up to 20 minutes; factor this into your gate arrival estimates. For frequent flyers, utilizing the LISA shuttle within Terminal 2E (connecting halls K, L, and M) can significantly reduce walking distances. Always check the latest terminal assignment, as airlines frequently shift between the circular T1 and the expansive T2 complex.",

  "terminal_info": "Charles de Gaulle is arranged around three passenger terminals: the circular Terminal 1 with satellite piers; Terminal 2 split into halls 2A\u20132G with their own check-in zones and security points; and Terminal 3 for low-cost and charter flights. The free CDGVAL automated train links Terminals 1, 2 (except 2G), 3, and the parking/rail stations, while an N2 shuttle runs between 2E/2F and the remote 2G gates.\n\nInside Terminal 2, walking between adjoining halls like 2E and 2F takes about 10\u201315 minutes airside via the connecting gallery, whereas transferring from 2A/2B toward 2E/2F can take 20\u201325 minutes with passport control in between. Moving walkways help in the 2E long piers (K, L, M gates), but plan extra time for bus rides to 2G which add another 10\u201315 minutes. Terminal 1\u2019s satellite gates are connected by underground walkways and escalators, typically 5\u201310 minutes from the central departure hall.\n\nSecurity is conducted separately in each hall; morning and late-afternoon peaks commonly see 15\u201330 minute waits, with SkyPriority and Acc\u00e8s N\u00b01 lanes reducing queues to around 5\u201310 minutes. Schengen-to-Schengen transfers can remain airside, while Schengen to Non-Schengen routes usually require passport control before reaching the L/M or 2C/2E gates.\n\nNon-Schengen arrivals clear immigration at the gate concourses (ePARAFE e-gates available for eligible passports) before proceeding to baggage claim and a standard customs red/green channel. Inter-terminal transfers that cross landside require re-clearing security; CDGVAL drops passengers directly at departure levels to streamline the process.\n\nAmenities are extensive: Air France lounges in 2E (K/L/M) and 2F, Star Alliance lounges in Terminal 1, and lounges in 2A/2C/2D cover most alliances. Luxury boutiques cluster in 2E/2F, while 2A/2C house duty-free and quick-service food. Terminal 1 has reopened with modernized dining, children\u2019s play corners, elevators, ramps, and reserved assistance points. Family rooms with changing tables are available in each terminal, and most restrooms include accessible stalls. Free Wi\u2011Fi and plentiful charging spots sit alongside prayer rooms and medical stations across the complex.",
