    Vaping products are age-restricted in France. Carry ID, expect age checks, and follow venue rules on indoor vaping and designated smoking or vaping areas.

    Visitor & Exhibitor Essentials

    Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.

    Flights

    Google Flights captures for the 24 October 2026 arrival date show prices flagged as high on DXB-CDG and LHR-CDG, typical on NRT-CDG, and no headline fare for SIN-CDG or SYD-CDG. A London sample noted lower fares for 26-30 October travel, so shifting dates can change cost. For Paris, compare CDG and ORY; Eurostar from London St Pancras to Gare du Nord takes about 2h26 and may be competitive. Book 6-12 weeks ahead, use flexible fares if the show schedule is not final, and confirm baggage, seat and change fees before paying.
