A semi-private Paris shuttle is a reliable, relatively inexpensive and comfortable way to get from the airport to your local accommodations. But there are some potential annoyances that if you are unprepared for them could ruin the whole experience.

The biggest potential downside to using a Paris shuttle is the fact that you may need to wait for other passengers to arrive before the shuttle will leave. And if those other passengers are on different airlines the wait could be long. Bring something to do in the meantime.

The drive to your accommodations could also take a while if you are the last to be dropped off. Of course, this is less of a problem, especially for first-time visitors, since the sightseeing from the shuttle will be an exciting experience in and of itself.
