5th to the airport Christmas Day

We have always taken the RER to the airport but the last time we had a train delay and I told my husband maybe it's just not worth it. Now we will be getting to the airport about 9:30 am (11:40 flight) on Christmas Day. RER, Riossybus or taxi (65E). Any experince on Christmas Day? Thank you

9.30 am is cutting it close for an 11.40 flight, unless you are flying business class. Christmas day this year will be a very busy travel day, being a Sunday (people will be able to go on vacation right after Christmas Eve dinner, which is usually the big family dinner in France). I'd aim to be at the airport at 8.45.

Public transport runs normally on Christmas day I
Paris, but it is true that the RER B is prone to delays, and engineering works as well. I've never had to use a cab that day, but the usual advice - on ANY day - is to pre-book a cab to the airport. The best way to do this is with G7 app or website, and don't hesitate to do so several days in advance. Allow for 45-60 minutes travel time on a Sunday morning.
