    Hi folks.
    Just wondering if anyone gave give me some advice?
    I’ll be arriving at CDG by train from Strasbourg to catch a flight to Dublin.
    The train arrives at 8.00 am. The first flight after that is at 10.00 am and the next one is at 13.30.
    The big question is would I have enough time to get the 10 am flight?
    Thanks in advance!!

    I'd go for the later one. Security and border control queues in CDG are a nightmare. Unless you have frequent flyer status or are flying business class and can use "Acces no 1" I wouldn't risk the 10am flight

    Perfect-I kind of thought that too. Thanks for taking the time to answer.

    I've done the same journey a few times without issue with Aer Lingus.

    I've flown into and out of CDG more than 60 times I'd say and have never spent more than 5/10 mins in the passport queue and never more than 15 minutes (normally 5) in security

    Your getting to the airport 2 hours in advance. It’s more than enough time. CDG is time consuming but well organised. No problems
