Hi, has anyone had any experience with StarAlliance Lounge on T1? I remember I was in it via LoungeKey (flight with Swiss in eco) but now I don't see it in the app anymore. So I don't know if they have discontinued the cooperation with LoungeKey or if they have limited it somehow. Thank you
Hi, has anyone had any recent experience with the RER B from CDG to downtown? I have now read somewhere that you can no longer buy a paper single train ticket (in a machine), that you can only buy a Navigo pass.
It is not possible to buy a paper carnet of 10 tickets. Even though there was constant talk and writing about all paper tickets ending, they are still available everywhere (November 2024).
Hello, thank you for your very useful website! There are no more paper tickets on the buses from the driver, you need the Navigo app, the Navigo easy card from the machine or you can pay by sms on the bus. {as of November 2025).info on ratp.fr
Thanks for the heads-up. I have edited the text.
Now we are going to Paris in April please which mobile phone app is best for travelling around Paris. Are purchased tickets valid for all modes i.e. trams buses si RER thanks for the answer
1.the best is none. French public transport apps are either bad or worse. 😆
2. You can read the ticket types in the app https://play.google.com/store/ap....vianavigo. It lies about the tram ticket saying you can't take it to/from the airport.
