If so, how long should I allow for that? Right now I've got a 2 hour connection on a Sunday morning.

thx

I've had my luggage interlined on *A flights to an AF flight, so it shouldn't be a problem to just check it straight through. I'm not sure what airline TN is, but if it is associated with One World, their rules SHOULD apply. Call the airlines in question and they should be able to work it out. Bag claim in Paris (for me) has historically been pretty quick. FRA, on the other hand...

2 hours should be fine at CDG without having to recheck bags.
