How late can I show up for CDG check-in these days?
Has been a year since I last flew ex CDG on CX. Have another flight coming up soon on CX260 (1:10pm departure).
I'm thinking about timing a TGV connection that arrives at 11:45am to CDG. I've done this connection before, albeit not as tight but my point is I know my way around to move from station downstairs to the CX check in counter. Provided the train arrives on time I will be to the check-in counter around 12:00noon, 70 minutes before departure. Anyone who flies this often or recently have thoughts if this is too tight?
Also, how tight is too tight here before I start sweating bullets? 60 minutes? 50 minutes? I've done a super short CDG check-in before on CX, but not since the somewhat heightened security situation.
I won't have checked bags, am DM and flying J. I will also do OLCI before, but will still proceed to the counter, presumably to say hi to the staff and make sure they know I'm there.
Any thoughts appreciated. I have an alternate solution, but it involves me waking up earlier and I'd prefer not to if possible.
