๐ข Terminal Information
Charles de Gaulle is arranged around three passenger terminals: the circular Terminal 1 with satellite piers; Terminal 2 split into halls 2Aโ2G 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.
Inside Terminal 2, walking between adjoining halls like 2E and 2F takes about 10โ15 minutes airside via the connecting gallery, whereas transferring from 2A/2B toward 2E/2F can take 20โ25 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 10โ15 minutes. Terminal 1โs satellite gates are connected by underground walkways and escalators, typically 5โ10 minutes from the central departure hall.
Security is conducted separately in each hall; morning and late-afternoon peaks commonly see 15โ30 minute waits, with SkyPriority and Accรจs Nยฐ1 lanes reducing queues to around 5โ10 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.
Non-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.
Amenities 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, childrenโs 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 WiโFi and plentiful charging spots sit alongside prayer rooms and medical stations across the complex.
๐ Connection Tips
CDG is a major international hub. Terminal transfers may require re-security screening. CDGVal runs every 4 minutes.

๐ข Terminal Information
Agen La Garenne Airport (AGF) in France functions as a small, regional airport, primarily serving domestic flights and general aviation for the city of Agen and its surrounding areas. Crucially, the airport *does not host scheduled commercial airlines*, meaning all air travel operates on a non-scheduled basis. Its terminal facilities are extremely rudimentary, typically consisting of a single, compact terminal building that provides basic amenities for passenger processing. The layout is straightforward and integrated, with clearly defined areas for check-in and a simple security screening point, leading directly to the departure gate. All essential services are contained within this singular structure, meaning there are no complex inter-terminal connections or transfers. Walking times within the terminal are minimal, typically just a few minutes from entrance to aircraft, ensuring a quick and uncomplicated passenger experience.\n\nSecurity procedures at AGF adhere to national regulations for regional airports, involving standard screening protocols for both carry-on and checked baggage, along with personal checks. Given the limited flight schedule and moderate passenger volume, wait times at security checkpoints are generally short, rarely exceeding 10-15 minutes during peak periods. As AGF handles domestic traffic, there are no international immigration or customs facilities on site; these functions would be processed at larger international airports in France if connecting from an international flight. The emphasis of security and operational processes is on facilitating smooth and efficient domestic air travel within the region.\n\nAmenities at Agen La Garenne Airport are basic but designed to cater to the essential needs of regional travelers. There are no airline lounges. Comfortable seating is available in the waiting areas. Dining options typically include a small cafรฉ or snack bar, offering beverages and light meals, with limited choices reflecting the airport's regional status. Retail facilities are also modest, possibly including a small convenience store for travel essentials or local souvenirs. Accessibility features are rudimentary, primarily consisting of ground-level access throughout the small terminal building. Specialized assistance for passengers with reduced mobility would need to be coordinated in advance with their specific airline. Family facilities, such as children's play areas or dedicated nursing rooms, are not commonly available. Free Wi-Fi connectivity might be offered in designated areas, though its availability can vary.
๐ Connection Tips
Allow adequate time for connections. Check with airline for specific requirements.
