IMO this is a very iffy connection.
IF the DL flight is on time and you have checked in by internet the OTP flight and you have no luggage, you could make it. That is assuming that you quickly get a shuttle. Going thru immigration in and out means that you can take a more frequent bus, but not a great save if any. Of course, you could run from 2E to 2B, but it will take you some time.
Given the ash cloud situation, NA flights tend to be delayed, so it seems a risky transfer.

I am flying AF Man-Bkk return. The Man flights arrive and depart from 2E and the Bkk flights from 2F. The AF website tells me to take the shuttle bus for both connections which are both just over 1 hour but a previous bad experience with the shuttle between different terminals makes me want to walk if that is possible. Please confirm whether walking is an option and if so I would be very grateful from your experience if you would advise me to shuttle or walk?
Many thanks

It's a very easy walk from 2E to 2F and back. Allow yourself ten minutes, but you'll do it in considerably less.

Many thanks for the quick response. If my Manchester flight arrives
at gates E51-76 do I need to catch the shuttle train to gates E21-47 before walking to 2F or can I walk straight from gates E51-76 to 2F and vice versa and is the walking route clearly signposted?
I greatly appreciate your kind help.

No, if you arrive at E51-76, you don't need to take the train but it's better to use the moving walkway which is parallell to the train but on the 2F terminal side (I don't know if I'm clear !). Anyway, it's clearly indicated (I did this connection last week in 15 min)

duan

Many thanks for the swift response. Do I use a similar moving walkway in the opposite direction from 2F to E51-76? Presumably I do not need to use these moving walkways if my Manchester flight arrives/departs E21-47?
I am very grateful for all this excellent advice.

Goldorak

You are very welcome

Yes. Keep also in mind that arrival from BKK is normally scheduled at 2F but you may also arrive at 2E or 2C (last february, I arrived at 2E from BKK). It would be nice for you if you arrive at 2E to connect in the same terminal

Right ^ Follow the signs for your gate

duan

Many thanks for all your help and knowing my luck at CDG the BKK flight will probably arrive late at 2C leaving my successful connection at the mercy of the shuttle bus

BKK-CDG flight is rarely late in my experience, so don't worry

Hi,
I am new to this website. I am flying EDI-MIA via CDG on the 22nd June. My first flight arrives at CDG at 09:20am and I depart for MIA at 11:15am. I done this route last year and we arrived at what looked like a satellite terminal (which I noticed a lot of Cityjet/Air France UK flights depart from) and we needed a bus to get to the main terminal. The overall transfer (including security), took about 1 hour but if you imagine the time it took to get to the main terminal we only had about 10 minutes to get the second flight. What are the normal transfer times now for UK-US flights as I would like to have time to sit down and relax before getting on the second flight(very tiring after getting a 06:10am flight from EDI).

I am afraid this has not changed much. The reason your plane is parked near terminal 2G is that your EDI-CDG flight is operated by Cityjet with a regional aircraft. Connections to the US when arriving on a mainline aircraft from the UK are much nicer as both flights use terminal 2E.

In partnership with Bagages du monde, who has been operating left baggage storage for several years at CDG, ADP has opened a new centralized storage facility located close to the CDGVAL station at CDG2, open daily from 06:00 to 21:30.

I'm arriving CDG from Houston on Continental at 8:15 am and connecting to Austrian Air (AF share code) at 10:25 am bound for VIenna. I am checking one bag. I suppose I'll need to clear customs/immigration, claim my bag, proceed to Austrian Air (Terminal 2D???) check in and then go through security again. Is this doable? I leave in two days, so prompt replies will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

No, unlike the US, you will not need to claim your checked bag. You will clear immigration, but this is nothing like the possible waits in the US.

You will indeed clear security again at the terminal from which your flight is leaving, which looks like 2D.

In short, it should be no problem at all.

Cheers,

Unfortunately, Continental and Air France/Austrian Air are not in the same alliance. These two legs are separately ticketed and I must claim my bag at AFand recheck it at AUstrian Air counter - or is there some way I can avoid this????
