 Poster: A snowHead

Hi Snowheads does anyone have experience of doing a transfer at Charles De Gaulle airport?
Is 100 minutes enough to arrive at Gate 2E and go out on Gate 2F to GVA?
I'm asking for a friend (Messiah)
He is booked from Dublin this saturday 2nd Dec on the 8:55am Air France arriving 11:40am
and out again at 13:00 Air France to GVA
Am I going to have a room to myself on Saturday night?

Presumably he just walks to the new gate? Depends if the Dublin flight is on time.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

He'll have to clear passport control (Ireland isn't in Schengen) and also clear transit security checking (belts off, laptops and I pads out etc, etc).
If it's all ticketed with AF as a through flight, and a boarding pass for the second sector is issued at check-in in Dublin it should work. If the first flight is delayed then they should put you on the next available service.
I'd be more concerned about hold baggage though. CdG has a bit of a reputation as a black hole for transfer luggage.

Not necessarily. I've transferred at CDG between what sounded like parts of the same terminal and it was a bit of an epic journey, including a bus.
According to the CDG website, the route for transferring between 2E and 2F depends on the gate, as 2E has 2 satellite buildings. One route appears to involve a train

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

2E to 2F can be a bit of a trek and usually involves a monorail but 100min should be fine. Generally if AF have sold as a two part through ticket, it’s doable.
(We have had issues with schedule changes meaning the AF/ KLM felt our transfer time was going to be too short and they automatically rebooked our 2nd leg. Unfortunately that 2nd flight was 1/day…)

Thanks guys,
Luckily he is only taking hand luggage .. but actually its only 80 minutes.
The flights were all on the one booking.
There is another flight 3 hours later but the Lardy Bus will be on its way by then.

From CdG, I assume, at which point he gets his 250€ compensation under EU law. That way he can aford the taxi.
