Layover in Paris
My boyfriend will be travelling from San Antonio the 26th this month. There will be layovers in Atlanta and Paris. While looking around online, i found this:
Travelers from countries that do not adhere to the Schengen Agreement have to pass through passport control and security check at Paris-CDG.
He will be there from 8:10 am to 9:40 am, so it's only 1 hour and a half till the plane goes again. He will only bring carry-on baggage.
The question is, is that enough time to go through the security check and passport control?

Assuming his flight arrives on time into CDG he should be fine. Is it all booked as one ticket? If so, the airline will get him on a later flight if he misconnects.

What airlines? Class of service? Any status?
As asked previously, is this one ticket/reservation or two?

Norway is in the Schengen area so he will go through immigration in Paris and then the next flight will be treated as a domestic flight for immigration purposes.
When he arrives in Norway there will be a customs check, but this may not necessarily involve any human interaction. Norway is not in the EU so has its own customs limits.

He will be fine. If he is on one ticket then he is protected so if the first flight is late he'll be put on the next. Separate tickets means he has no protection and if he misses his flight to Norway he is out of luck and will likely have to buy a new one (return).
