Meanwhile, there are TGVs departing CDG for Lyon at 12:54 (arriving 3:01) and 1:54 (arriving 4:01), so train seems like a better plan.

Questions:
- Probably can't make the 12:54, right?
- If my flight is delayed, can I use my TGV ticket on a subsequent train?
- Can I collect miles for the TGV (I'm a Skymiles member, not FB)?
- Anything else to know about the AF/TGV transfer?
Do you actually have a connection ticket (either by train or by plane) or do you intend to buy one?

If you intend to buy one, where are you going in Lyon? You may not know that the airport is quite far from city centre and taxis are expensive (60 EUR is a common price).
