How early to leave DLP for CDG?

[donutday]

We have finally booked a shared shuttle ride through RS Transport on our departure from Hotel Santa Fe to CDG. We have a 13:30 flight to Boston, USA.

What time do I need to arrive at the airport for an international flight, and what time should we request the shuttle to allow enough time to get to the airport? Our flight is on a Wednesday in mid-August.

(I'm hoping we can leave late enough to get a little bit of Extra Magic Hours in that day, but I'm afraid that might make us late.)

Hi,

For a 13.30 flight, you need to be at check-in 2 hours before, so 11.30am. Your shuttle will take around 45 minutes for the journey, so 10.45am you should book for leaving your hotel.

Hope this helps,

Elaine

When we returned to CDG in June we allowed ourselves 2 hours and we literally just made it ... the buses are usually very frequent but ours was delayed and by the time we got to the terminal we were the last ones in the queue ... stressful is an understatement. In the past however the 2 hours has always been ample. You may want to ask the reception to price a taxi for you, I'm sorry we didn't book one last time and I think the difference in price was only something small like 5 to 10 euros.

For a flight to the US, you might have to be at the airport 3 hours before your flight. If this is the case I think you would have to leave 0930 - 0945.
