CDG’s Terminal 2 is subdivided into multiple satellite halls (2A-2G) and houses many of the large international carriers; Terminals 1 and 3 serve other airlines and charter traffic. Passenger facilities (lounges, shops and dining) are available in each terminal, but transfers between terminal areas can require use of the automated CDGVAL shuttle or dedicated transfer buses.
