Yes — Wi-Fi at Paris Charles de Gaulle is free across the terminals. Look for the official Paris Aéroport network on your device's Wi-Fi list, open the sign-in page that appears, accept the terms (you may be asked for an email), and you are online. Coverage runs through the public areas and departure lounges in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.
Verify before you rely on it: the exact network name and any session time limit are not confirmed here against the official source and should be checked officially. Secondary sources disagree — some report an unlimited free session, others a fixed window of around four hours per device. Treat both the network name and the time limit as unconfirmed until you check the airport's own page on arrival.
How to connect, step by step
- Open your device's Wi-Fi settings and look for the official Paris Aéroport / airport free Wi-Fi network (confirm the exact name on the on-screen signage at CDG).
- A sign-in page should open automatically; if not, open a browser and visit any site to trigger it.
- Accept the terms of use and complete any short registration (an email address is sometimes requested).
- You are then connected. If a time limit applies, you may need to reconnect once the session ends.

Watch out for fake networks
Busy international hubs attract look-alike hotspots. Connect only to the network shown on the airport's own signage, and be wary of names promising "unlimited free" access from an unknown provider. On any public Wi-Fi, avoid logging into banking or entering card details unless the site is secured (https), and consider a VPN for anything sensitive.
Best for whom
- Short connections: connect once to check your gate or message ahead; if a time limit applies, you may need to log back in.
- Long layovers and remote workers: fine for email and browsing; for video calls or large uploads at peak times, a mobile data plan or eSIM is often more reliable.
- Anyone unsure of the network name: check the on-screen signage in the terminal rather than guessing.
Wi-Fi network names and session rules can change and are not confirmed here against the official source — verify on the official page before you rely on it: Paris Aéroport (official). See also our CDG transfers guide and CDG lounges guide. Last reviewed: June 2026.
