If this is your first Paris arrival, simplify your first decisions. Shuttle transfers are easiest when you prepare the small details before takeoff.

What to prepare before your flight

  • Destination address with postal code
  • Host contact and building entry instructions
  • Screenshot of your transfer booking
  • Backup mobile data option

Arrival flow in plain language

  1. Exit aircraft and follow arrivals signs.
  2. Complete border control and baggage collection.
  3. Message your shuttle provider once you are physically ready.
  4. Move only to the confirmed pickup point.

Your first goal is not speed. Your first goal is a clean, low-stress transfer to your accommodation.
