Hey all,
Anyone have any recent experiences with EES at CDG, especially how long is the process taking?
I'll be arriving at 1:00pm on a Saturday (in April), along with every other airline in the world, so I'm sure I'm going to be waiting quite some time.
Merci!

They haven't started using it yet, Mike.
I arrived Saturday at 1:15 pm- by the time I disembarked, waited an unusually long time for the tram (and let one go by because it was so full) and got in line for passport control, I was through the line in seven minutes.
Thanks, Kim!
Mike,
Keep us posted when you return from your trip in April. We're going in June.
Best,
Kristen
Good to know, Kim.
We are headed through CDG in a month and, while we know technically how the EES is supposed to work, we are wondering how it actually works in practice. My better half will have to do the EES when we head over if it's up and running so looking for any real-world experience, especially if it's with the spouse of EU citizen.
Apparently it's been chaos in Geneva, which doesn't make sense to me because how can it be faster to deal with a human and get a stamp than to show your passport, face and fingers to a robot?
