Flight missed, can spend night on CDG airport?
I have broken down questions, which I asked earlier. If I miss my flight on CDG airport, and next flight is say 2 days away, can I stay inside the airport on the landside ie before my security checkin is done ? Is it safe ?
I have the same question for Barcelona airport too. Is it possible to stay at BCN airport ? Is it safe ?
Best Answer
There are plenty of hotels at CDG, including one right in the middle of Terminal 2 (on top of the train station, between halls ABCD on one side and EF on the other), and a bunch at Roissypole, from where you can reach Terminals 1 and 2 via the free inter-terminal light rail line, and Terminal 3 by foot.
There are more hotels a bit further away. I believe they provide shuttle services to/from the terminals, but you would probably need to budget more time as you would have to wait for the shuttle. Ask reception for timetables.
If your flight in not early in the morning, you may consider staying in central Paris. Hotels will be more expensive, but you'll have quite a few more things to do and enjoy.
Or you can even consider staying in Reims (30 mn away by TGV, though the TGV stops outside the city centre, and there are only 4 trains a day, with schedules that are not always very practical). Or Disneyland Paris (10 mn away by TGV, with the stations right in the middle of Terminal 2 on one side, and right at the gate of the resort on the other).

Answer 2
Two days is a long time to stay at an airport (while doable). You are not constrained to the airport, find whatever cheap hotel you can find and enjoy your stay in Paris or the countryside -- the TGV stops at CDG. There's free wifi for your smartphone or paid work stations pretty much everywhere (Terminal 1, Terminals 2D, 2E, 2F and 2G.).
