Is this enough time? Connection.

I have a 1 hour connection time on my flight from FCO-CDG-ATL is that enough?

FCO - CDG (Operate by AF)
CDG - ATL (Operated by Delta)

Seems like that's cutting it pretty thin. But, possibly do-able, depending on which the arrival / departures concourses are.

Ick... it is possible with some luck but I certainly wouldn't feel comfortable at all with that. CDG is just plain fugly when it comes to connections. Don't expect your luggage to make it.

I would expect this to be a connection between 2F and S3, which is certainly possible to do in one hour. I certainly would not recommend it, however. Two hours tends to be my minimum at CDG, and that is with the use of Accès n°1 lines.

I just called them and they said that it was legal and I'd have to pay $250.00 to change it.

Then I asked if I missed it would I be rebooked in Business Elite (since that is what I paid for) and they said no, there is not a guarantee that you will be rebooked in a premium cabin.

If that's what you paid for, that what you can fly. Delta will confirm you into the next available Business Elite seat - you just have to tell them you're willing to wait for it.

When a short connection becomes illegal it becomes the ticketing party's (Delta, Expedia, a travel agent...) problem. If it's legal, a change is the passenger's responsibility. Sorry, but this should not be news to a frequent traveler.
