Yes, it will be a 2E to 2F connection. You shouldn't have to go through security (as per a recent improvement at CDG arriving from a "safe" country) but you'll have to go through immigration as you are entering Schengen in CDG. Then you can spend your time in the AF lounge in 2F. This is a recent lounge open in summer 2021 and a very nice one. You can have a shower and free spa treatment (if space available) during your layover in the lounge.

In about a week I will depart from CDG terminal 2E with Air France in business class. With Sky Prioriy I could use the priority acces N1 lane for immigration, but does that also lead to the Parafe machines? If not, what would you advice for the fastest way in the morning, probably around 8AM? The priority lane with manned desk or the regular line with Parafe machine? I have an EU passport.

I would use the PARAFE machines in any case, I've never seen a queue more than a few people for those.

TKtraveller

Thanks for you answer, mlin32. So the priority lane indeed has no PARAFE machine?

Hello folks, after reading some of the comments here I am getting a little worried about our upcoming connection in early March at CDG. We are flying DFW-CDG-OPO in business and our connection at CDG is only 90 minutes and Air France only has one CDG-OPO flight direct that day so we can't afford to miss the connection. Our flight from DFW is supposed to land at 8:15am at 2E and the OPO flight departs at 9:45am from 2G. Assuming no significant delay of the DFW flight, can we make the OPO flight? We travel with only carry-ons, no checked luggage. I was wondering whether I should book a EasyJet leg from CDG-OPO as a backup just in case. Thank you!

You'll be fine, 90mn is plenty. You're probably better off than with easyjet which is in a different terminal.

thanks for the assurance. EassyJet leaves at 11:40am and I was thinking to throw away easyjet booking if we can make the connection. $40 per ticket sounds like a reasonable insurance. We just have to get to Porto that day.

It's impossible to predict. Choose the shortest when you'll be there. SP lane has also PARAFE gates.

Goldorak

Just relax. 90 min is comfortable for this connection. No need to book another airline.

everestgrp

thanks. I have been monitoring the latest stats. One flight landed as late as 8:54 and that left me with 50 minutes of connection. That’s why I was worried and was thinking of plan B

Wondering if anyone has any info on this?

Shinji4u

The answer would be interessting for me too. And also, if it is only for some Halls (K or L) or all of them (K, L, M)?

Goldorak

all of them. Impossible to know in advance.

my story: i took the same USA-CDG flight twice over a 6 months span.

the second time i took it (January 2023), all passengers in my plane were able to connect to next flight without security screen. i didnt get that option 6 months ago.

I was very happy about bc it was a delayed arrival and i was really dreading the line in security screen. there is an AF agent standing at the fork directing passengers

i was connecting to a non-schengen destination. after the fork, i find myself immediately in L, which is where i need to be because that's where the gates are for non-schengen countries. iirc if you are heading to schengen, you walk the same path too, but my guess is at some point later, you will leave L and find yourself in some other hall and that's where you will see the passport control

looking at the map, after L, you will hit M. so i guess K is backtracking and a bit further than the rest

question to CDG frequent flyers: I have a flight landing in 2G (from Zagreb) and on an onward flight to 2E (K,L,M) to CMN, on different bookings. *Assuming the flight from Zagreb is on time*, even HBO - and with SkyPriority, a 1:15 connection would be pushing it, right? It *has* to be separate bookings, unfortunately...
