Do you need passport control?
The terminal pair alone does not determine the answer. What matters is your travel direction, whether your route stays airside, and whether you are entering the Schengen Area.
Border control by direction
- Schengen → Schengen Not required
- Schengen → Non-Schengen Required
- Non-Schengen → Schengen Required
- Non-Schengen → Non-Schengen Not required · only if you stay in the international transit zone
- Non-Schengen → Non-Schengen Required · leaving the transit zone counts as entering France
Do you need to collect checked baggage?
On one booking, your bag is normally checked through to your final destination. With separate tickets, plan to collect your bag and check it in again, unless your airline confirms it is checked through.
Check your baggage tag
The destination printed on your baggage tag is one of the most useful clues. If you are unsure, confirm with the airline at your departure airport.
