although i'll also do LHR-SIN in future, this time its BHX(b'ham)-CDG-SIN..still 2E though.

but, is it really necessary to go for the 3 hr buffer...cos as i understand it, CDG is not the best place to be for a transit and that too w/o lounge and stuff...how's AF with handling missed connections due to weather and stuff...from what i've read on FT, not that great...

Well, I would keep your current flights, as intra-European flights tend to accumulate delays over the day, so my evening LHR-CDG flights, whether on AF or BA, are usually delayed; not necessarily by much, but it would adversely impact an 1 hour connection.
