The DBS EXPERIENCE Standard
What a Connecting Flight Meet & Assist Is
A connecting flight meet and assist is a transit service that guides you from one flight to the next through Charles de Gaulle or Orly. A greeter meets you at the gate of your inbound flight, escorts you through the terminal, any change of terminal and the immigration or security controls a transit requires, and takes you to your onward departure gate. On a tight layover the value is in the planning: the minimum connection time checked in advance, the fastest route agreed, the inbound flight tracked, and the fast-track lanes used where the airport permits. A connection at one of Europe's largest hubs becomes a guided walk rather than a search for the right sign. This page is part of our VIP airport meet and greet service.
What this is
A greeter who meets you off the inbound flight and escorts you between terminals and through the controls to your onward gate at Paris CDG and Orly.
What you get
A planned route for the layover, the fast-track lanes where permitted, luggage managed, and the connection held even if the inbound flight is late.
What to do next
Send both flight numbers, the terminals and your connection time, and receive a plan with the greeter, the route and one operations contact for the transit.

Who we serve
For the Connection That Cannot Be Missed
A missed connection undoes a schedule, and the risk is highest for those with the least time to spare or the least familiarity with the airport. A transit assist removes that risk. We arrange it for the traveller and for the people who plan their itineraries.
Executive Assistants & PAs
The onward connection protected for an executive routing through Paris, with the inbound tracked, the layover planned and one contact holding the transit, so a tight schedule is met without a call from the terminal.
Destination Management Companies
A dependable transit partner for a client changing planes in Paris, with greeters at CDG and Orly, multilingual assistance and consistent standards that lower your operational risk.
C-Level & Executives
A calm passage between flights for a principal with a demanding schedule, with discretion, the shortest route and time on the ground protected, so the connection is not a source of stress.
Family Offices & Private Travellers
A guided transit for a family or a principal, with a porter for the cabin bags, help at every control and a low-profile passage between terminals.
What This Service Includes
Every Stage of the Transit, Handled
Met Off the Inbound
A greeter waits at the gate of your arriving flight, so the transit begins the moment you land rather than in a queue at the next control.
Inter-Terminal Escort
Guided between terminals, and between the two airports where an itinerary requires it, on the shortest planned route through a large hub.
Fast-Track Controls
The dedicated lanes for the immigration or security a transit requires, where the airport permits, so the checkpoints do not consume the layover.
Luggage Coordination
A porter for cabin bags, and assistance wherever checked baggage must be collected and re-checked, so nothing is left at a gate.
Layover Comfort
Access to a private lounge for a longer wait, or a chauffeur into Paris and back within the window, with the onward flight tracked throughout.
Onward Gate Handoff
Taken to your departure gate in good time, with boarding monitored, so the last part of the transit is as calm as the first.
The DBS Difference
Why a Tight Connection Stays Calm
A transit is a race against the clock only when it is unplanned. We plan it, track the inbound flight, and hold one contact across the connection, so the pressure sits with us rather than with the traveller.
Minimum Connection Time Checked
The connection assessed against the airport's own minimums in advance, so the plan is realistic before you fly, not improvised on the ground.
Inbound Flight Tracked
A late inbound absorbed by adjusting the route, with the greeter ready at the gate whenever you actually land.
Shortest Planned Route
Chauffeurs and greeters who know the layouts of CDG and Orly, taking the most direct path through the terminals and controls.
Across Airlines and Terminals
The transit handled whatever the carriers and terminals, including a transfer between the two airports where required.
Discretion for Principals
Confidentiality as a matter of course, NDAs on request, and a low-profile passage for executives and public figures.
One Contact, Around the Clock
A single operations contact holding the connection, with a 24/7 desk answering within the hour for a change on the day.
How It Works
Send Both Flights
Give us the inbound and onward flight numbers, the terminals and the connection time. We assess it against the airport minimums.
We Plan the Route
We name the greeter, plan the shortest route between the terminals and controls, and arrange the porter and any lounge.
We Track and Meet
We follow the inbound flight and adjust for a delay, with the greeter at the arrival gate as you land.
To the Onward Gate
Escorted through the controls to your departure gate, with boarding monitored and one contact holding the transit.
In practice
How DBS EXPERIENCE Works in Real Life
A Ninety-Minute Connection at CDG
A long-haul arrival at Terminal 2E connects to a European flight from another terminal in ninety minutes. The greeter meets the aircraft, takes the fast-track lanes and the shortest route between terminals, and delivers the guest to the onward gate with time in hand.
A Delayed Inbound to Orly
An inbound flight lands forty minutes late, cutting the layover fine. Because we track it, the greeter is at the gate immediately and takes the most direct path through security. The connection is made, and the traveller never feels the pressure the schedule was under.
A Long Layover for a Corporate Guest
A DMC arranges a five-hour connection for a client. The greeter meets the inbound flight, settles the guest in a private lounge, then escorts them to the onward gate at boarding, with the flight tracked while they rest.

Our inbound was late and we had barely an hour. Someone met the plane, and we walked straight to the next gate through lanes we would never have found. We made it with time to spare.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a connecting flight meet and assist work at CDG or Orly?
A greeter meets you at the gate of your inbound flight and escorts you through the terminal, any change of terminal, and the immigration or security controls a transit requires, to your onward departure gate. Where the airport permits, you use the fast-track lanes, and a porter manages any cabin luggage, so a connection at a large hub is a guided walk rather than a search for signs.
My layover is short. Can you still get me to the onward flight?
A short connection is exactly what this service is for. We check the minimum connection time for your itinerary in advance, plan the fastest route between the terminals, and hold the greeter ready at the gate as you land. If the inbound flight is delayed, we track it and adjust, taking the most direct path through the controls so a tight layover is handled calmly rather than at a run.
What happens to my luggage on a connection?
Checked baggage tagged to your final destination usually transfers between flights with the airline, and your greeter assists at any point where you must collect and re-check it. For cabin bags, a porter carries and manages them between terminals, so you move through the airport with your hands free and nothing left behind at a gate or a control.
Do you offer electric or hybrid vehicles if I need ground transport during a long layover?
Yes. For a longer layover with time to leave the airport, a chauffeur can carry you into Paris and back within your window, and hybrid and electric vehicles are available on request within our fleet of 25-plus cars, so the excursion keeps a lighter footprint while the greeter tracks your onward flight.
Is the assist available across different airlines and terminals?
Yes. The service covers connections across all terminals and airlines at Charles de Gaulle and Orly, including a transfer between the two airports where an itinerary requires it. Your greeter knows the layouts and the controls at each, and one operations contact holds the connection, whichever carriers and terminals it involves.
