OT: Passport control CDG

[lojo]

Anyone have any idea when the other terminal 2 gates will get the PARAFE (automated passport control)? Specifically 2B, as that's the one we always seem to get.

TIA

2B does already according to the ADP site

I can't confirm it as I've not been through 2B since we have signed up but I'm guessing if they say it it must be right

Looking at the English version I see why there could be confusion

It can't be up to date which doesn't suprise me.. I'd go by the French one which has points of passage in (nearly) all terminals

is that the biometric one? Sorry I've been through 2B loads but I never look for those in any airport because my passport is not yet a biometric one.

You don't need a biometric passport to sign up, they take your fingerprints at the airport and as long as your passport has 6 months left to run on it at least you are good to go

they take your fingerprints? blimey no, never seen that either, any airport I've been through! I need to pay attention more!

Carrie, thank you

- two things I should have known:

1) You are the font of all knowledge
2) Don't rely on the accuracy of English translations of webpages

Going to try this on our next visit, with luck I won't be the idiot stuck between the two sets of doors, trying to remember which fingers to scan!

Wish me luck......
