No Active Embassy Alerts
No current U.S. Embassy security alerts for Paris
Problem: Non-EU travelers stuck in grueling border control queues at CDG with wait times reaching up to five hours. Why: EU's biometric Entry/Exit System (EES) severely buckling under peak summer traffic; mandatory scans causing massive bottlenecks. Advice: If arriving with US/Canadian/UK/Australian passport, build extreme time buffer. Speak to gate agent upon landing if onward flight at risk; airlines not liable for missed connections due to border delays.
