Two questions...the second slightly OT.
Flying from IAD to CPH via CDG. Arriving in CDG on AF39/DL8631 at 5:45am. Flight to CPH on AF1750/DL8424 is at 7:15am.
Do I have enough time to make my connection?
I arrive in CPH at 9:05am.
Now...I go to AMS on KLM. That flight leaves at 11:45am. This is on a different itinerary (did it to save $$$). Since I will be arriving in CPH via CDG, and since that's an inter-Schengen flight, do I have to leave and go through customs and/or re-enter to go through security? Or can I just go to my gate.
Thanks!

As per your second question, I don't know CPH airport, but in general there is no security when connecting from Schengen to Schengen flight within the EU. No immigration within Schengen either.

bout flight from BOM > CDG > SEA
Hi All ...
I have a few questions bout flight from BOM > CDG > SEA... My mother is traveling on this AF 0217 Air France / Delta flight. She has a layover-over at CDG for 2hr 40 mins.
1. is this connection time enough?
2.being an first time international flyer any tips she should remember.
3. will she have to do security again ( Indian passport ).. and check-in bags again or she gets them at SEA directly?
4.any info about the shuttles?
at present her ticket says she would be coming at Terminal 2E and the flight to SEA will also leave from Terminal 2E
I am not sure if its the correct thread to post this question....
Thanks in advance for the suggestions / help.

I have to get from the A380 gate (AF-7) in 2E and catch a flight to Prague in 2D (Czech Air) in 65 minutes.
I am in business (does that give any leg up with customs/immigration and security?)
Should I walk this?
Thanks
Mike

As a biz class customer you cause priority lane Acces#1 for both immigrstion and security recheck. If you arrive at an L gate fastest eay to 2D is walking via 2F, if you arive at a M gate, you take the automated train to 2E main hall, where you pass immigration, thenwalk to 2D via the train station. Transfer will take 25-30 minutes.

Hi everyone,
I am flying next Sunday into Paris CDG Terminal 2D on an Air France codeshare flight (AF 1557) operated by Austrian (arrival time 09:15) and then transferring onto AF 84 to San Francisco, which leaves at 10:35 from Terminal 2E. Now that Terminal 2B is closed, I noticed that the blue airside bus stops at Terminal 2D, so my question is: should I take the bus or should I walk?
Thanks

Hello,
I am new to this forum and I am worried I won't have enough time to connect to my next flight.
I am flying from Rome to Paris with a 1 hr. and 10 min. layover in Paris then from Paris back to San Francisco. Will I have enough time to catch my flight back to SF? I will be flying Air France on all flights.
Thank you!

1:10h is sufficient to connect in CDG, you have to transfer from 2F to 2E and you only pass immigration, no security. Check on the monitors from which gate your connecting flight leaves as the transit route is different. 2E has basically 3 wings called K, L and M. Just follow the signs indicating your gate letter. Transfer takes about 20 minutes.

Free (to 1st 200, to Aug 31) Paris tour & a question re terminals
Not sure if this is the right place to post this: http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/e...ansit-tour.htm
Promotional code for one free admission on the "Paris Transit Tour".
Valid for the first 200 online bookings until August, 31st, subject to availability.
We just booked 2, so it's still working now.
Which Europcar rental station is closest to "Gate 2E"?
That's where DL agent said our SEA-CDG flight lands. TIA

Looking for advice.
Wife and I are flying from KUL to CDG on Malaysian A380 in Business ETA 0640. Arriving at the 'Main Terminal' . Then connecting to Easyjet to Toulouse at 0900 Terminal 2D .
They are two separate tickets and I will be checking in baggage .
I had thought that 2 hrs 20 is sufficient, but now starting to worry a little....
Understand that there is a priority clearance for Immigration so that will help a little.
Any tips appreciated. Thanks in advance.

2h20 should be sufficient.

There is no "main terminal" at CDG. MH arrives at T1. As a J pax, you should be able to access fast track immigration (called "Accès No1") lanes. After immigration, collect your luggage and take the automatic train (called CDGVAL) linking terminals. Go to terminal 2 (at the other end of the line). From the train platform, go up and turn right, walk 5 min and you'll be in 2D where you'll have U2 counters.
2h20 should be sufficient.

All perfectly correct indeed, but to be honest I'd personally worry about the 2h20. If the MH flight is on time, then all is great, but if you have as little as 30-45 minutes delay (not an unusual occurrence with long haul flights), this could become uncomfortably tight. Luggage delivery can often be painfully slow at CDG and as you'll need to recheck your luggage with U2, be aware that they will very strictly enforce the luggage drop limit. If you are as little as 1 minute late, you should expect not to be accepted for travel (or to have to abandon your luggage to be able to make it!). By my books, while this can of course work, it does not qualify as a 'safe' connection and certainly not one I would personally like to chance.

Thanks guys. Convinced the wife that carry on (with the added bonus of shopping in Paris) isn't that bad an option.
Have already paid for Easyjet hold luggage, but will head straight to check in now .
Not too fussed about having to check in luggage to Toulouse in theory, just the time involved.
Hopefully it will all be on time and CDG on a Saturday morning at 6 am will be full of bright ,shiny, helpful service crew. !!!
