Even though it's compact, the airport overflows easily and lines can snake unexpectedly. - _Money_: Park at P11 ECO for savings — €45–€70 a week versus the cost of parking near the terminal. - _Insider_: Skip long dining waits by using La Brioche Dorée and Prêt A Manger for faster service than La Grande Tablée. - _Quiet_: Melodramatic goodbyes? Use the drop-off lane, letting you avoid parking costs — free for 10 minutes. - _Time_: Hand luggage only? Move fast with everything hosted in T1, bypassing check-in lines completely. - _Money_: No parking fees? Look into city street parking coupled with the Airport Shuttle for roughly €9 per person to avoid expensive airport spots. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
