Is it being enforced by the machines at the entrance?

Apologies if this question has been answered before, but I am scheduled to fly BLR-CDG-CUN on AF191 / AF650. The BLR-CDG flight lands in Terminal 2E. I would need to get to Terminal 2F to catch my flight to CUN. Can I reach Terminal 2F from Terminal 2E remaining airside all the time? If I need to go through passport control, I would need to apply for a visa, hence asking. Thanks!

CUN will also depart from 2E, so remain in 2E. The 2F departure for this flight only applies to pax originating in Paris for their check-in. I know it's confusing but at least you are able to get the right advice on Flyertalk

Yes, the scan of the BP at security will beep you red, so you'll have to discuss with the agent to see if he/she wants to let you go through in the wrong terminal.

Sorry if this has been asked before - I'm flying BOM-CDG-FCO on 9W124 + AF1104, will my flight depart from 2E or 2F? Also will I be able to use the YotelAir lounge?

FCO departs from 2F, BOM on 9W from 2C. Same for arrivals. No access to Yotel (2E).

Thank you! Any paid lounges I can access in 2F for a quick shower?

Only the AF lounge, depends on how busy you might be able to pay to get in, not sure the exact cost but probably around 30 Eur or so

35€ or 8000 miles. But knowing the times of OP’s flights, I doubt he will be able to have a paid access because this is a very busy time. I was discussing recently with some AF CDG lounge attendants and they were telling me that they decline most paid access requests because of overcrowding.

I was wondering... as a mother travelling with 3 kids on Air France (TLV-CDG-SOUthampton) with a 13-HR stop at CDG, what are the chances of Air France allowing a short-check at CDG without a penalty (1 suitcase)?

Is that an overnight stop or just during the day ? If it’s overnight, I am sure they will accept to check bags to CDG only. If a day stop, I doubt they will. It’s not because you have 3 kids with you that they will deviate from rules. You could have 20 newborns with you, that wouldn’t change .
Of course, nothing wrong asking at the counter in TLV. But if I were you, play it safe and keep a carry-on with all you need without relying on a possible short-check of one bag.

Thank you for replying. No, not overnight, 5am - 6pm. Yes, will ask in TLV.
With penalty (275 Euro?) they will agree for sure, right?
