We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids under 10) traveling to Munich, with a 1.5 hour layover in Paris. What has been your experience with the EES wait times at the Paris airport?
I flew from Minneapolis to Paris-CDG on May 22...then connected to a flight to Slovenia. On that day, the EES kiosks were not being used. Instead, at Immigration I simply placed my passport on scanner and looked at the camera. The process took 2 minutes.
I think the most important thing people are saying is “Don’t dawdle getting off the plane and on to immigration for your connection.” Everyone is experiencing something different at all the European airports including the same airport. How quickly you get through depends on a lot of factors including how many flights come in at the same time, if the EES gates are working, how many passport control officers are on duty. You can’t be assured that someone else’s experience is what you will experience, good or bad.
