Best I can find is AF 17, connecting to 1532. Looks like a 2E to 2D transfer. Mom walks SLOWLY. We'll be in business class.

Do I have to worry? I have a choice of a 1 hour or a two hour connection. Can i feel safe with 2 hours???

Thanks

Sorry about what happened to your family. 2 hours is quite enough for standard passengers, but it does involve some walking, 10mn to immigration and another 15mn to reach 2D. With an elderly mother, it could be a challenge. So I would recommend asking AF staff at JFK to put a note in the PNR and contact their CDG colleagues to arrange for a wheelchair. 1 hour is just not doable in your case. Hope this works out.
