Your Athens connection is tight and you have to get up really early (which I hate, but that's just me). I would opt for AF1533 at 3:00 p.m. connecting to AF070 leaving Paris at 7:40 p.m. (about a two hour layover). This is the late flight that goes on to Tahiti on Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays but those days may not fit your schedule.
^ Thanks for the response. I will plan on taking the earlier flight to Vienna. Unfortunately, I can not take AF070 since it doesn't work with my schedule. Is AF070 (747-400) even NTC? Truth be told, I'm affraid to risk the tight connection and be rebooked on a 772 OTC instead of the the 77W with NTC. That is really my greatest concern. Any other insight into making a 50 minute connection from either 2F/2D to 2C?
