What CDG to WAW looks like
The CDG to WAW sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Paris CDG to Warsaw WAW is a medium haul sector of 1,342 km by great circle, flown nonstop 7.9 times a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 1,342 km, 830 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 2h 13m.
Paris CDG is a major hub in the network held here, 277 scheduled destinations and 771.4 departures a day. Warsaw WAW has 165 destinations and 327.5 departures a day.
Paris and Warsaw keep the same clock all year, so the arrival time is the departure time plus the block and nothing else.
The pair sits inside Europe, a corridor where the site already publishes 14 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on CDG to WAW from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| CDG to WAW | 7.86 | 55 | Air France, ASL Airlines Belgium, LOT - Polish Airlines |
| WAW to CDG | 7.43 | 52 | Air France, ASL Airlines Belgium, LOT - Polish Airlines |
3 carriers are recorded on the sector, so a missed departure is normally a rebooking rather than a lost day.
At 7.9 times a day there is usually another departure within a few hours, which is what makes a same day booking on this pair realistic.
Between them the two directions put about 107 departures a week on CDG to WAW, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 2h 13m block time on CDG to WAW. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.

| Collection and the run to CDG | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At CDG before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |

| Formalities at WAW | 90 min | 8h 13m |
| Delivery run in Warsaw | 45 min | 8h 58m |

On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for CDG to WAW is 8h 58m.

When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 99 of them join CDG to WAW.
| Connecting at | CDG to hub, flights a day | Hub to WAW, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leipzig LEJ | 1.29 | 0.71 | 1,344 | 3h 58m |
| Luxembourg City LUX | 3 | 1.29 | 1,345 | 4h 01m |
| Brussels BRU | 3.86 | 4.71 | 1,397 | 4h 05m |
| Dusseldorf DUS | 5.43 | 3.71 | 1,374 | 4h 05m |
| Prague PRG | 5.86 | 5 | 1,373 | 4h 06m |
| Berlin BER | 10.29 | 3.14 | 1,364 | 4h 06m |
With 7.9 times a day on the nonstop, a connection here is a disruption plan rather than a routing, and it is listed because a closed runway or a cancellation wave is exactly when nobody has time to work it out.
99 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Leipzig LEJ, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 5 times a week.
Through LEJ the routing covers 1,344 km against the 1,342 km nonstop track and takes about 3h 58m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 45m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Luxembourg City LUX at 4h 01m and Brussels BRU at 4h 05m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Paris, Paris ORY is 35 km away by great circle and carries 157 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Warsaw, Krakow KRK is 246 km away by great circle and carries 135 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
Restricted hours at either end
Widely documented operating restrictions, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, so confirm with the carrier before relying on any of them.
Paris CDG is shut to scheduled movements between 00:00 and 05:00 local, so a collection in Paris that runs late does not simply catch a later flight, it waits for the morning and loses a working day in Warsaw.
Paris CDG, night restrictions: Scheduled movements between midnight and 05:00 local are limited to a fixed annual number of slots.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for CDG to WAW in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
