Flying with a bicycle via Paris Charles de Gaulle.
RER B serves two stations at CDG: Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 for terminals 1 and 3, and Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV for terminal 2. Confirm the airline terminal before choosing your route.
An airport rail connection does not guarantee that an assembled bicycle or large box is accepted. Check public-transport rules, airline conditions and actual packed dimensions separately.

Match the airport station to the terminal
CDG is extensive. Start with the terminal shown by the airline, then identify the corresponding RER B station.
Charles de Gaulle 1: access to terminals 1 and 3
Charles de Gaulle 2–TGV: access to terminal 2
Recheck the terminal and desk on departure day
From the Paris hub to CDG
Box & Ride is at Belleville, near Pyrénées station, not at the airport. Plan from the place where the bicycle will actually be packed.
Do not rely on a terminal workshop or box stock
Give assembled dimensions to a vehicle provider
Keep a volume-compatible backup plan
Pack and weigh before the transfer
Finish packing before beginning the airport journey. Folded-box dimensions are not the checked-baggage dimensions.
Protect vulnerable components
Close, measure and weigh the complete item
Label it outside and place contact details inside
Confirm the bicycle and oversized bag drop
Each airline controls reservation, packing, weight, size and deadline. The bike may use a separate baggage route.
Keep the sports-baggage confirmation
Locate check-in and oversized bag drop
Allow more time than for a suitcase
Early flight or connection
Collect the box or stored case the day before an early flight. A stuck component, excess weight or terminal change can alter the plan.
Work backwards from bag-drop time
Allow time to correct packing
Keep documents and contacts offline
Batteries, CO₂ and restricted items
Never pack an e-bike battery or CO₂ cartridges by default. Conditions depend on the item and airline.
Obtain explicit approval
Check cartridges, aerosols, tools and liquids
Assign items according to security rules
