Thanks in advance for the advice...

I just got a schedule change from Delta (there's a shock) for my CDG-CVG-DTW-MSN itinerary for late may. It now makes my CVG connection 60min, where it had been 90. I'm unfamiliar with CVG and realize it's a very easy, efficient airport, but 60min seems a bit tight to clear customs, reclear security, and get to the gate anywhere. My partner definitely prefers a more relaxed pace, rather than sprinting from one gate to another (done that with EWR customs enough times on a 2-hour connection). I called DL elite line, and while they claim it's still a valid connection, they offered to change the itin if I wished.

My options are:
1. CDG-CVG-MSN with a 5 hour connection (could sit down to dinner at Wolfgang Pucks and then the CRC...do they still have showers at CVG?)
2. CDG-ATL-MSN with a 2 hour connection (from what I've read on here, sounds like the minimum most people would want)
3. CDG-ATL-MSN with a 3 hour connection (might make the most sense)
4. Stick with what I've got if 60min is REALLY a comfortable amount of time for customs, etc., in CVG.


Thanks so much for your advice and help!
