1 hour 35 minutes.
I have two questions:
- Can CX check my baggage through to my final destination with BA, even though the flights are on separate bookings?
- Will I need to go through immigration at CDG? If I already have my onward boarding pass and CX agrees to check my bags through to my final destination (given that LHR is a non-Schengen destination), would I be able to transfer airside instead?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I did this a couple of weeks ago.
1. Yes, and they will give you the BA boarding pass as well.
2. No, you don’t need to clear immigration. You can transfer airside and you don’t need to collect and recheck your bags in Paris.
Only caveat is that I had a longer connection when I did this. 95 minutes is probably on the tighter side in case of any delays I don’t know how they would handle things.
