The newest is a shorter connect time in LAX from about 3.5 hours to 2.5 hours. The arrival flight from CDG is a 380 so there will be a lot of us going through immigration and customs. I am in business if that makes a difference.

Before I call AS to confirm this newest schedule change....is 2.5 hours enough time to comfortably connect in LAX from an Air France flight to an Alaska flight?
Even if it goes pear-shaped, it's not like you're someplace with 1x daily service to SEA...AS just puts you on the next plane.

Unequivocally, I would be fine connecting at LAX with that itinerary. Done it plenty of times with less connection times, including international.
