Back with yet another interlining question. Flying CO EWR-CDG and connecting to AF to BCN next week. Two of us, both on BF award reservations. Just making sure we will be able to check our bags all the way through and STAY AIRSIDE for the transfer. Similar to the recent poster on my old thread about CO/Air Europa interline, I am planning to make some liquid duty-free purchases and would not like to go back through security.

Also, anyone in CDG recently - did you notice if they still have airside smoking areas since their new laws? Just wondering if I should bring along some nicotine gum for that "landing craving" I always get. Funny, I can handle any long flight with no problem, but as soon as we start descent - the craving comes strong!
