Early Flight from CDG

[jlat]

Hi,

 

We are doing our pre-cruise time in Paris, and have a 7:00am departure from CDG to Dusseldorf for a 9:45am connection. What time should we leave Paris for CDG? (Hotel Nicolo). Any major obstacles that we should be aware of? Are Taxis available that early or should I look to hire a car and driver? I;'ve only ever flown into Orly and understand that CDG can be difficult. Any advice would be greatly welcomed.

A couple of years ago ( 2009) DH and I booked a car and driver from Montmarte area to CDG. He picked us up at about 5:30 am and we were at CDG by 7:am. Very little traffic, courteous and kind driver, and not too bad a time at the airport. We were checked in, had boarding passes in hand and luggage checked in about 20 minutes. Car cost was about 50 Euros if I remember correctly. No regrets and would do it again. Check with your hotel concierge. Enjoy your trip.

If your flight is at 7am, then you need to be there at least one hour before, preferably 1.5 hours - especially if you have bags to check in.
