CDG Airport

I am arriving on an Air France flight from USA and need to meet someone arriving form USA on A Northwest flight. Can someone tell me a good place for us to try to meet at the airport? It will be around 13:00 and then we will be taking a shuttle to the hotel.

NORTHWEST flights (from Detroit??) will arrive at CDG #2-E. Trans-Atlantic flights for AIR FRANCE will arrive at either CDG #2-C, E %26amp; F (but most likely either #2-E). Unless there is some special need or reason....the best way is for the person whose flight arrives FIRST to make there way to the French Customs EXIT (after Luggage Collection) out onto the main, public concourse of the LATER%26#39;s arrival terminal and wait. To minimize the potential for creating a %26#39;..mice-in-a-maze..%26#39; situation. The LATER arrival STAYS PUT (come hell or high water) and WAITS, just outside the Customs Exit, on the main public concourse of the terminal, until the EARLIER arrival FINDS THEM.

I know this isn%26#39;t what you want to hear, but I would meet at the hotel. Finding each other in the entire city of Paris will be a lot easier than coordinating at CDG. One or the other of you could end up arriving late and then having to spend another hour or more getting luggage and going through Customs and Immigration, since it seems that you%26#39;re arriving at a busy time.

There%26#39;s a lot less stress in meeting at the hotel. The important rule is that whoever arrives first gets the booze organized - whether wine or whatever - so that you can toast the fact that you both survived CDG and you%26#39;re already enjoying the City of Paris.

Bon voyage..

You can meet at the Thalys train station in front of the ticket desks for example. To go to this place from anywhere in the airport, you just have to follow the sign %26quot;Gare%26quot; written in blue.
