Today Actualidad Viajes We will know what there is to know about each one of them. Paris airports.
Charles de Gaulle Airport
It is the best known of the three airports and is known by several names so you can get confused. The code is CDG and he's lonely 23 kilometers from the northeast part of the city. This airport has three terminals that operate with international flights and other destinations in Europe and also charter flights.
“Paris Airport”, “Charles de Gaulle Airport”, “Paris Charles de Gaulle”, “Roisy Charles de Gaulle or Roissy Airport are the names by which it is known. All terminals have passport and customs control. Depending on the time and day, it can take only ten minutes or an hour to leave and be able to wait for your suitcase or backpack at the side of the blessed carousel that makes us all a little nervous. Will my suitcase be there…?

You can get to Paris from the airport by train, taxi, private bus, public bus… The cheapest and fastest way is use the RER, although later you must go to the subway on your own, but if you travel light without a doubt this is the most recommended.

Paris Orly Airport
this airport it is closer to the city, just 14 kilometers south from the central area of the French capital. Now It has four terminals joined by a little train. Before the construction of the Charles de Gaulle Airport this was the main international airport of the city, but today things have changed.
Today most international flights have been moved to Chares de Gaulle Airport and this, Orly, although it remains one of the busiest airports in France, only has, mostly domestic flights.
Your code is ORY and although it concentrates domestic traffic, it also receives flights from some cities in the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe and even Africa, the Middle East, North America, Southeast Asia and the Caribbean.
It has four terminals linked, as we said, by a train service but also there are taxis and buses whose stops are well marked both inside the terminals and outside them. The circuit that travelers follow is that of all airports: the plane arrives, you get off, you look for your bags, perhaps waiting half an hour or more, you pick up your bags and go through customs.
In general, they are just quick checks, so in a matter of a few more minutes, travelers are already in the common areas, seeing how they can get to their final destination. What options to go from the airport to Paris do we have? There are buses that go to various points, C Paris, OrlyBus, OrlyVal, Magical shuttle Orly to Disneyland Paris.

Beauvais Airport
It is a small airport that is located 90 kilometers northwest of the city of Paris. It is where they operate low cost airlines more typical like Blue Air, Ryanair or Wizzair. It's named after the town that's nearby, so it's recognizable, so you have to say it's in the hamlet of Tillé, just outside the town of Beauvais.
It is also known as Beauvais – Tillé Airport or Paris – Beauvais – Tillé or directly the Old Beavais. His IATA code is BVA and as we said above it is the one used by cheap airlines.
There is a bus service that connects the airport with the city of Paris And yes, since it is a small place, the truth is that it is super easy to move around it, collect luggage, go through security and customs and not much else. Tickets for the buses are bought at the kiosk or at the automatic machines (which only accept credit cards). Calculate that the price is around 17 euros per adult.
these buses operate non stop between the airport and Gare Routière Pershing, a bus park located in Porte Maillot, northwest of the French capital. Calculate hour and fifteen minutes of travel, not much more. Buses depart from an area between Terminals 1 and 2, just a few minutes' walk away. Once in Paris you can take the metro, Port Maillot is on Line 1, towards the center or the RER line C to get on the train line. Both points are very close to each other.
In fact, the buses leave you right in front of the Paris Congress Center from where you can walk to the metro or the bus stop or take a taxi. If, on the other hand, you want to go to the center by train, you must bear in mind that Beauvais Airport does not have a train station. The closest is 4 kilometers from the city itself. Yes you can take a taxi for between 12 and 17 euros, but the bus is much cheaper.
