It looks like United arrives at Terminal 1 at CDG, Paris. Just want to make sure from someone who has taken United over and landed there recently. Thanks!

Well, it did before the pandemic, so I see no reason it would have changed.

Because during the pandemic and for a year or two after, they totally shut down Terminal 1.
But they re-opened it in December 2022, so yes, things are back to normal, and United once again uses Terminal 1.

I have just returned. United Terminal 1, arrival and departure.
By the way, the immigration on arrival and departure process was horrific. Over an hour to get through immigration on our arrival. Chaos - officials shifting lines of travelers to new locations to access live immigration officials or to use electronic passport readers only to discover that the new queue was as long or longer than the original wait. I eventually followed another traveler underneath a tape barrier and got to an electronic reader “through the back door”. Many announcements regarding slow security processes with apologies were not helpful.
Departure - passport check and baggage security took over 45 minutes despite my use of priority access lanes. Without that, I think getting into gate areas would have taken at least 90 minutes if not 2 hours. Welcome to CDG….
