Need Advice!!!
 
I have a 1 hour connection at CDG. Arriving from BUD at 12:30 AM (terminal 2F) and depart to DTW at 1:30 PM (Terminal 2E). Will this give me enough time or am I asking for problems? First time at CDG!
Thanks

Better check your flight times. From your post, it appears you have a 13-hour connection. ;)

Are both flights on one ticket?

Both flights on 1 ticket and It's only 1 hour between flights! My fingers are not typing very well!

Yes, it's tight. To see how you'll connect, check out http://www.easycdg.com/1/passenger-i...inal-2f-to-2e/

The minimum time is 25 minutes.

But if you're on one ticket, it might not end up a massive disaster. Not sure where your final destination is, but there are oodles of later flights across the pond you could be rebooked on to get you to DTW with an extra stop. (3 different flights to JFK, 1 to ATL, 1 to BOS, and 1 to LHR)

Thanks for Information!

If everything unfolds perfectly, you might make the connection. But in my experience at CDG, one hour is too tight. If your inbound flight is even slightly delayed, or if have to wait 15 minutes to get off that plane, your chances are slim. I suggest scheduling a later flight to DTW if possible.

The OP is actually on the last CDG-DTW of the day

Strongly suggest you call the airline and try for an earlier BUD-CDG flight.

Again, being the bearer of scheduling-bad-news, the OP is on the earliest BUD-CDG flight of the day (and the latest CDG-DTW), which is why my initial advice was possibly routing CDG-JFK/ATL/LHR/BOS-DTW instead.

There is a 6:05 am BUD-AMS on KLM as well - a slight possibility you could get on that to BUD-AMS-DTW or BUD-AMS-CDG-DTW. That would be the only option of leaving earlier.
