Europe - Help! Atlanta-Paris-Istanbul itinerary questionView Full Version : Help! Atlanta-Paris-Istanbul itinerary question mgm2n Mar 24, 12, 3:53 pm Hi all. I am planning a trip to Turkey in August. The outbound route I'm eyeing has a connection in Paris-CDG (ATL--> CDG --> IST). How much time do I need to allow at CDG to give a safe cushion for clearing customs and continuing on to Istanbul? Greatly appreciate your help! dieuwer2 Mar 24, 12, 7:35 pm I suggest a minimum of 2 hours. The Juiceman Mar 25, 12, 12:19 am Since Turkey is non-Schengen would one need to clear customs in France? Sjoerd Mar 25, 12, 6:00 am Since Turkey is non-Schengen would one need to clear customs in France? No. The OP will not have to clear customs / immigration at CDG. Sjoerd Mar 25, 12, 6:01 am Hi all.

If your itinerary is on one ticket, you will be fine with any connection time that the airline is willing to ticket.

This is true for a DL/AF combination, however, I'm not sure about a transfer from AF to TK as they leave from T1 which is not linked to T2 where you arrive on DL/AF. It might work however for UA/TK. |
