What is the shortest route between 2E & 2F?
Thank you.
It could be a bit tight. It depends on the time required from landing to reaching 2E, and the time needed to clear immigration in 2E.
In any case, your only option is walking landside and it is actually very quick. Once you have cleared immigration and gone through the baggage retrieval area, take the "Galerie", a wide, airy glass enclosed passageway to 2F, over a set of moving walkways with large photographs of Charles de Gaulle (the statesman, not the airport
); this should take you at most 5mn. Once you arrive in 2F, take the escalator right in front of the moving walkways you have been using and go up to the departures level (1mn), turn left and head to the entrance to the Schengen pier of 2F (2mn). There is a fast track security line for premium cabin and SkyTeam Elite and Elite + passengers. This line can also be used for flights that are nearly closing; these flights are displayed on a TFT screen to the right of the security lines . Once you have cleared security, walking to any gate should take you less than 5mn.
So, overall, a very easy connection. The tricky parts would be the arrival time, the bus to 2E, immigration in 2E and security in 2F. In any case, the next flights to FCO are scheduled for 08:50 and 09:45.
Enjoy your flights.
