CDG connection questions
I am flying to my brothers funeral in Germany on Codeshare with Air France. My connection time is an hour and 25 minutes and will be connecting from a business class Air France flight ( in E?) to a first class HOP! Flight to DUS which seems to go out from G. It is a very early flight, landing at CDG at 5:50 am. I am 75 and though I am a good traveler, I am not a good runner anymore. No wheelchair necessary but no sprints either. I got a bit nervous and was considering the Air France meet and Greet service but am having trouble getting hold of them. Do experienced CDG transiters think I will be ok or should I continue trying to get in touch with Air France meet and greet? Phone is always busy. Would appreciate any wisdom. This is a stressful trip for me . |

Sorry for your loss gungadin.
you should be fine without any special service. You may even have time to stop at the nice AF lounge in 2G. PS : there is no such thing as "first class" on EU flights (this is a US domestic flights thing). It's Euro-business class, consisting as the same seat as in Y but middle seat blocked. But to DUS, this is a regional jet (E190 or E175) so there is no blocked seat as the seating is 2x2. But, knowing the circumstances, this is the least of your concern. |
I am here in Germany but I just wanted to thank both Goldorak and PeteM01. You were so right. I had absolutely no trouble at CDG- great clear signage and short lines plus clear answers from anyone I asked. Now at JFK the bus driver told be he did not go to terminal one after another official had told me he did and I got numerous vague answers, poor help and awful signage. I think I prefer CDG�� |
