Note: 2C and 2D will be abandoned by AF after the extension to terminal 2E opens. This process should start about now...
This will considerably increase your chances to make it because transferring between and within 2E and 2F should be much more efficient.
That is encouraging. Keep in mind we are coming off the A380 (crowds), though flying in J. What exactly IS involved? I assume passport/immigration control, then the hike from 2E to 2D. But no bag claim, re-check, correct? Pardon my ignorance, I simply have never changed planes in CDG before.
