Rare Lady Arwen Posted March 27, 2023 #2 Share Posted March 27, 2023 CDG is a very busy and large airport. We were on a two hour layover and it was very tight. This was pre-Covid, so I’m not sure if it’s better now or then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF Cfan Posted March 27, 2023 #3 Share Posted March 27, 2023 My son and I had a 2 hour window back in May of 2018 with a change of terminal going from Air France to Iceland Air. We barely made it with no missteps along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowzz Posted March 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Ask in the Cruise Air forum, but provide more details. Which carriers, and are you booked on a single ticket ? If you are transferring in the same terminal, 60 minutes is the minimum connecting time, 90 minutes if transferring to a different terminal. But, regardless, this is a very tight connection, and CdG is a pig of an airport. I would want at least an extra hour to make the connection.

Tedferg Posted March 27, 2023 #5 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Be sure to pack a change of underwear in your carry on. Your luggage might not make it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamashamiller Posted March 27, 2023 Author #6 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I didn’t realize that there was an air forum on cc thanks for the tip.

skynight Posted March 27, 2023 #7 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Believe this is tight. Remember that you will have to clear customs and immigration upon arrival. Also suggest you determine arrival & departure terminals before you book and the way to travel between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Rick&Jeannie Posted March 27, 2023 #8 Share Posted March 27, 2023 Personal experience tells me that this is way too tight. We missed a connection and Air France had to put us up in an airport hotel. Thankfully, it was on the back end after our cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare tml1230 Posted March 27, 2023 #9 Share Posted March 27, 2023 we arrive or depart at CDG 3-4 times a year.....we were there just last week. No way that is enough time .....CDG gets a bad sometimes, its just BIG. Safe travels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChangeOrder Posted March 27, 2023 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2023 I wouldn't go any less than 2 hours layover in CDG. Multiple times in that airport, I've learned my lesson 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little nervous, because I never flew international and I thought that was gonna be tight. My cruise is not until August. Flights are able to be canceled and rebooked so that’s what I’ll do tonight. Thank you so much everyone I really appreciate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
