Arrival tips for Beauvais-Tillé Airport
If you arrive from outside the Schengen area, for example from the UK, Morocco or the Balkans, you queue at passport control, where non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System. Flights from Schengen countries arrive without passport checks.
Your flight arrives at Terminal 1 or Terminal 2, which stand side by side; airlines use both, so check the screens. Baggage claim is short, and the baggage service and lost property desk is in the arrivals hall of each terminal if a bag is missing.
Outside, the Aerobus coaches to Paris Porte Maillot leave from in front of both terminals and are timed to arrivals, with the last coaches waiting for late flights. The taxi rank and the local bus to Beauvais station are near the terminals, and the airport information office is at the bus station. Pre-booked drivers usually meet you in the arrivals hall. Paris is still about 85 km away, so allow for traffic on the A16 if you have a train or an appointment to make.
France is on Central European Time and uses the euro.
Ground transportation
Most travelers to Paris take the Aerobus coach; a taxi or pre-booked car is easier late at night, with a group or with lots of luggage.
