Hotels in Paris to airport

We stayed there a couple of years ago and had a mid-morning departure from CDG as well. The HH is a great location and you are just a few meters away from the RR stop. The wait times are short and, as I recall, travel time is about 30 minutes. But you will probably need to depart before the ticket office is open, so buy your tickets the afternoon before. Do get an early start. You will probably need to leave the hotel early on Wednesday, before there is anyone at the front desk, so settle your bill the afternoon before and don't hang around for breakfast. Prepare to catch the RR train about 6:30 or 7 a.m. so you can arrive at the airport about three hours before the flight. This may sound alarmist, but the morning we went through, there were several flights going out of CDG at the same time and the security checkpoins were severly understaffed. The lines were the worst I have ever seen at an airport. Play it safe and give yourself 2 and 1/2 to 3 hours once you arrive at CDG. By getting there early, the worst that can happen is you wait inside the secure area longer than necessary.

To echo Roy, if I think we'll have less than 3 hours before our flight, my chest starts feeling very tight...that airport is a zoo. Security has the worst and longest lines of any airport I've ever been to. I'm all for sitting around bored at my gate...not that it has ever really happened to me at CDG... According to ratp.fr, the RER takes 42 minutes from the RER station "Saint-Michel Notre-Dame" to the RER station "Aeroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV". I think that's on the high end, but unfortunately the link to the RER B schedules isn't working...Of course, you didn't say but this is all assuming you're taking the RER train...LOL. It is practically in your lap to do so, and there aren't any transfers; it's the way to go, unless you have WAY too much luggage to manage on your own. Just be sure to take the RER B3 that goes to the airport, and not the RER B5...(or B2 or B4)... See ParisByTrain.com for more help than you probably ever wanted LOL - it tells you how to pick out the trains that stop at CDG (not all of them do), etc. Lots of photos, too, and what to do once you arrive at the airport. AND it has an RER schedule you CAN look at - from 2007! - not that a whole lot has changed, but it'll give you an idea of travel times. Pay attention to the weekday vs weekend schedules!

Thank to both of you that was a great help!
