Patrick LeungJune 16, 2013Pay attention to your right when first entering the airport and driving to terminal 1. There is a beautiful Concorde, symbol of France's aeronautical greatness, mounted on the grass as if taking off!Upvoted Mar 7
Keng KasemtanakulSeptember 10, 2014Very limited selections of shopping. Especially magazines and books. Better shop in town. Call and book Taxi G7 for your ride from the city. They are quiet reliable!

JessicaNovember 10, 2017Security line is super quick; once you get through there are very limited stores, aka 1 store and 1 coffee shop. Enjoy shopping and lounge access as long as you can before your getting to your gate!Upvoted 3 weeks ago
RaulAugust 15, 2014This terminal has a cool spiral shape, quick service and very secure. There's also free sponsored wifi (every other airport should start doing the same as a plus, we are in 2014 after all)
Łukasz TyrałaMarch 29, 2018Beautifully designed and really unique interior, but the security has only few lines, so queues can be long. Sometimes you will need to reverse down stairs after reaching the end of automated floor.
Rich T.October 28, 2011Check in early and take the CDG Shuttle to the other terminals to eat and shop pre-security. And the famous Paul chain kiosk in Term 2 train station is excellent French patisserie to go (great bread)- RichardApril 13, 2013Still a classic - great architecture, fascinating design, and the multilevel atrium with tubular travellators is just fun. Definitely an airport to have a closer look at.
Matteo PenzoJanuary 10, 2020Like being in a 1960 movie about the future. Love the treadmills connecting different wings.
Davide M.February 18, 2020One of the worst and most confusing terminal of the world. Food court is in the basement level 2, one level lower than arrivalUpvoted Mar 9
Get here early. Definitely the best duty free shopping in the world! 😍
Watch out! When you go through THE FIRST security, you are not done. Don't approach you're gate until you are fed and watered - nothing much on the far side...
Grace LeeSeptember 26, 2015Forget about tax refund, you will miss your flight. If u r transiting in Europe, do the refund during transit
Dori RueschSeptember 11, 2012Slightly awkward and small terminal. The staff is very kind. Be sure to arrive in advance, sometimes things are hard to find.
Now at gate 50 to 5x u have somking room and new shop great boarding gate the other no smoking place except main central shopping
Masha SmelyanskyOctober 23, 2019Be prepared to wait in lines for everything including the bathroom, getting food, and being packed like sardines.
Juha KinanenApril 20, 2013Pure 70s. Few shops, so do your shopping before belts downstairs. Better in other terminals.
- haleesi 👌April 14, 2019They didn't let cheese in the carry on on the plane.They told that the cheese is considered to be cream. Staff was rude and careless. Duty free is very small, literally 1 shop and cafe with a queue 👎
Greg SkrobarczykMay 8, 2017There is not so much options to choose as far as shopping or bistro ... little bit disappointed
Laduree is now open here! Though I'd prefer Pierre Herme...😝
Aik SNovember 17, 2012small, compact, and not much stores to browse!! oh, thanks for the internet kiosk with first fifteen minutes free
And when you think it can't get any worse since you have seen all akward airport lounges on planet earth (including the LH shared lounge at AMS Schiphol), you enter the LH dungeon at CDG T 1 Cont.
- Calvin ChanJanuary 30, 2014With the new pablo machines...detax queues are very short and efficient now. Well done Paris.
- T 1 made a big step forward with the recent improvements after the, well, redesigning. Still, it's an outdated concrete nightmare which does not match Lufthansa's quality standards at all.
Lisa HMarch 24, 2013Very easy and smooth check- in and security. Very little as way as snacks/ drinks after security
Ahu AtayJanuary 27, 2013I wished there were more stores and nice cafes with decent seating places while waiting for a delayed flight
NajinAugust 1, 2016Monday 8am, access n1 fast track line longer than normal police control immigration. Just one counter open. What is the point?
There is a post office when you go downstairs and self service computers allowing printing
ChaerySeptember 1, 2018Plz be there before 3 hour. 2 hour is not enough at all for check in and immigration- haleesi 👌April 14, 2019TheSaddest thing about cheese, that they didn't provide any documents to proof that it cannot be in your carry on.All my friends had brought it in their carry on before.Had to throw it away. Miserable
ArtFebruary 1, 2011Should have more shops and restaurants in the terminal. But quite happy with the fast flow tax refund queue. There are 2 booths for cash refund!
George BJanuary 21, 2019Dirty, inconvenient, rude security staff, limited options for shopping and food, a terminal to avoid by all means. Sorry CDG, terminal 1 us a disgrace in an overall dated and ugly airport
Ethan TongJanuary 15, 2011Get to airport around 4 hours before your schedule departure if you are intending to get detaxe. Customs stamping is quick but getting cash from travelex is pretty slow
Nabarun DasguptaAugust 25, 2010ENORMOUS immigration clearance line on 2nd level for non-EU passports! 200+ people. Moving decently quickly, but don't delay getting up here. 1040a, 25-Aug10.
Alex CurielMarch 10, 2019Mostly used by Star Alliance airlines, including Lufthansa, SAS and Swiss. It’s quite bad- They've started opening more shops here but still better eating options before proceeding to embarkation gate.
Petros RigasJune 22, 2023Security lines long. Boarding announcements are limited. Screen shows flight on time. But flight was 35 minutes delayed. Take elevator to -1 for Lufthansa lounge. Few stores. Not a good experience.
Melanie BessonJuly 3, 2013Still better than Orly but nothing to see, to shop, to eat... No smoking area from gates 70-78. Service is pretty decent though!
Ola BoćwińskaNovember 8, 2013It's like middle of nowhere. Forgotten land. Eat, shop and SMOKE before you reach the gates.
