90 minutes from 2e to 2f

We are two senior couples traveling from JFK to CDG then to FLR. I am wondering since we are coming on a 380 (UGH) if there will be time to make the connection. I wish that the people who make the connection algorithms would add a passenger age parameter. The arrival is scheduled for 08:20 and the departure is scheduled for 9:55

If AF will sell you these two flights on one ticket they deem its doable, if you need assistance or have mobility issues, contact AF.

In case of a misconnect on one ticket you will be automatically rebooked to the next available flight,

Do you have any disability or mobility problem ? If not, this is perfectly doable and even if your intend to walk « slowly ».

Thanks to all for help. My wife used to have issues before a knee replacement but is still a slow walker so I will check with AF staff.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

I have booked a flight MUC-CDG-MEX in September with only 65 minutes of connection time at CDG. I will arrive at Terminal 2F and need to reach 2E.

Is there anyone with recent experiences on CDG changing from 2F to 2E within one hour? I don't know which gate the flight will depart from, I hope it's not gate M, usually it's L or K according to the flight details of the flight (I compared the last few days of the flight, it never departed from gate M).

Never had an issue with a 65 minute connection in that direction, assuming the inbound was on time.
AF178 departed from M today, incidentally. You won't know until the day of. But yes, K and L are slightly faster to get to, as you don't have to wait for the bus.

Last week it took me about half an hour (2F - 2E-L), however a month earlier it was closer to an hour to get through the automatic passport machines (Many of them having errors/going out of service).

On that topic, is there no Priority border crossing between 2F/2E? Would it make sense to go airside first and then use a priority lane from there? Yes, you would have to re-clear security but if priority is available for both security and border that may still be faster.
