It says on their website: Wherever you buy your ticket, it will be valid for one year from the date of purchase and can be used whenever you like during the year. Wherever you buy them, our tickets are also non-nominative, meaning you can use them yourself or give them to someone else.I will be arriving at CDG Airport, Terminal 1 on 18th June. Am I likely to have trouble getting a bus ticket on the day if I haven't pre-purchased one?

Ah, good to know. Thank you. Not much point purchasing the tickets in advance then. You're correct, we don't have onward travel plans on the day of arrival. We will spend 2 nights in Paris before heading to SJPDP.It says on their website: Wherever you buy your ticket, it will be valid for one year from the date of purchase and can be used whenever you like during the year.

So a pre-purchased bus ticket does not guarantee a place for a specific day and time. I understand that you just want to travel from the airport to Paris, you don't have a plane or train to catch on the day of your arrival at CDG airport? I'd guess that the bus into Paris gives you nicer views and a bit of sight-seeing, unlike the RER train but I can't compare. As far as buses go, I've only ever taken the direct airport bus from CDG to Orly and not into the city itself.
Thank you. I was looking at the train too. It looks like we have to get a shuttle from terminal 1 to terminal 3, then get the train from there. Do you know if that is right?Hello fellow pilgrim,
I do recommend the train.
It is faster and way more comfortable.
I bought my ticket in the Terminal at CDG.
I had to switch airports from CDG to ORY on my way to Biarritz and took the train, it only took 50mins to cross Paris and get to ORY. By bus you need much more time.

Thank you again. Good info to have.If you want to have the full opportunities you have to get to terminal 2.

Remember that the train station is right under CDG. There is a ticket office that will hold your ticket. The trains go to lots of other places than Paris. I got one direct to Lyon and from there one to Le Puy. I did GR65.Hi Everyone
