3. It is a tight connection. Are you traveling in business or coach? Are you Skyteam Elite? If business or elite, you can use the "Acces no 1" lines to speed things up
4. Luggage should make it. CDG has improved it's operations quite a bit lately
Overall, you are dependent on getting in on time from ATL. No room for delay. And you will need to move quickly between terminals.

Hi,
You are so right..I went thru customs and security. Also, it was a long, long walk, I kept thinking that there must be a shuttle. I barely made the flight..my ATL flight arrived at 6:30AM and flight to LIS was at 7:20. My luggage did not make it, but came on the next flight in the evening.
Interesting: I called the Delta hotline from the ATL airport to check on the AI customs line for Gold Mediallion. They wanted to know why in the world would I be concerned about that..Delta assured me that I would not go through customs, even checked with 2 supervisors and they laughed at me for thinking that I would go through customs..they assured me that I would go thru customs in Lisbon and that I must be an inexperienced flyer to think otherwise..everyone knows that you go through customs at your final destination!
Also kept thinking that there must be some way NOT go exit security..but other passengers said it was the only way to get to 2D.
Thanks for the good information!
