CDG to Paris Shuttle With Heavy Luggage - Complete Guide

Luggage is the biggest source of transfer friction at CDG. Capacity assumptions cause more failed pickups than flight delays.

2. Attach visible name tags to every piece.
3. Keep booking reference on paper and phone.
4. Label fragile items in large text.

Fee questions to ask before paying

• Is luggage included in headline fare?

If you are unsure about space, upgrade one vehicle class. The extra cost is usually lower than rebooking at the terminal.
