Decision matrix for CDG
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters

When alternates matter
LBG Paris is the closest retained alternate at 10 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
aeroportsdeparis.fr is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
