Is 1h10min sufficient for a 2F to 2E connection, with a Schengen arrival at 22.10 and EZE departure at 23.20?
AF.com is willing to sell it. It would be a real shame to have to wait at CDG for 24 hours beause of a missed connection.

Sorry to butt in with a related concern.
I'm flying LHR to MUC via CDG with a 45 minute gap to get from 2E to 2F.
This was bought via the AF website - one of their suggest routes. Only on looking up the transfer route today have I had any concern that this might be quite tight.
If anyone can advise on the likely quickest routes from 2E to 2F in this situation, I'd be very appreciative.

With this connection I would not feel very comfortable. It is doable as long as your incoming flight is on-time and there are no serious queues at immigration or you have status and can use the priority lane. For the quickest way, just follow the signs (it depends in which part of 2E you arrive), there is no hidden way which is faster than the one signposted.
At the main pier, medium-haul flights park at either end of the pier (or very close to the end), so this involves a 250-300m walk just to get to the center of the pier where the passageway to 2F is located.
From S3, you will use a moving walkway to reach 2F somewhat faster than from the main pier.
As Marlim put it, it is doable is everything goes fine; but I would never book such a connection as I prefer a leisurely pace for my connections; also note that flights from LHR are often delayed.

The penalty is higher on the outbound as you have to wait a full day in CDG. Personally, I would try to book an earlier European flight to reduce stress. But if your European flight arrives on time and park at a gate (last flight of the day sometimes park afar), this should be a breeze.

To revive an old thread...
I have a 2E-2E connection (JFK>ABJ) that shrunk from 1h15m to 0h55m. I can't even book these same connecting flights anymore on AF.com. I know that 8 times out of 10 I'd be able to make this without a problem, but that the ABJ flight begins boarding 60 minutes before departure and I'd rather not sweat it if I don't have to. Is there a magic phrase to compel AF to switch me to an earlier TATL flight? The AF Twitter folks say "Don't worry! It's a 2E to 2E transfer, you'll have plenty of time!" The problem is that there's only one flight a day to ABJ and I've gotten incorrect info from them before...
Delta is more transparent with this kind of thing (either a connection is legal or not), but I can't find much about AF. Perhaps I'm searching in the wrong language.
This is what I found with KVS Tool, but unfortunately it's cut off:

BTW, I sent one Direct Message to AF on Twitter and they rebooked me on a direct TATL Delta flight that doesn't go through JFK now! This was after calling the US phone agents failed.

Using this thread to ask the same:
I'm planning on booking a flight that has me landing in CDG on a BA flight from YVR-LHR-CDG at 8.00pm - I'm then planning on booking a flight that leaves CDG for ZRH on AF at exactly 9.00pm... so it's EXACTLY the MCT for an intra-Schengen flight, but since I'll be landing from the UK that doesn't apply, right? Or what's the MCT in this case?
Is it AT ALL possible I can make this connection or should I not even bother?
What happens if the connection is above MCT (or, exactly MCT) and I miss it? Since it's 2 bookings I'll assume I'll be left stranded by both BA and AF, right, even if it's a legal connection? :/ Seeing that DFW-CDG has an average delay time of apparently 45mins, I'm thinking it might be better to just fly out early the next morning...

PS : I didn't understand DFW in your post as you talked before about YVR, LHR and ZRH. I suppose it is a typo.

To make it simple : forget about this crazy plan. You have 90% chance to miss your flight to ZRH. MCT concept does not apply to separate bookings, so you'll be considered as a no-show by AF if you miss the flight and you'll have to buy a new (very expensive) ticket.

Probably safer to just take the first flight the next morning, yeah... oh well.

Can anyone please update me on a CX (2a) to BA (2a) Min connection time? Thought it was 90 mins but being told by AA its now 180 mins, which is quite long.
