Hello, I hope this is the right community to ask this. I have a flight in December from Valencia (Spain) to Tokyo with Air France. I have a layover in Paris CDG.
The flight from Valencia to Paris arrives at CDG at 08:20 in terminal 2G. And the flight from Paris to Tokyo departs at 9:30 in terminal 2E.
I have been researching and I believe that this is not enough time to make the connection. I contacted Air France and initially they told me that it was not enough time, and they offered me some more expensive alternative flights, which I am not satisfied with, as I would arrive a day later. When I told them that their website states that they are responsible for making the connection possible, they started to say that the connection is indeed possible. I also tried to cancel the flight from Valencia to Paris and take another airline that arrives earlier, but they say that cannot be done without paying, as it is part of the same itinerary.
I don’t have much experience flying, and I would like to know your opinion.
Thank you very much!
In my experience I always have, but since Spain and France are both in the EU there is a great chance this may be different. I have never made a connection within the EU before so I had not considered that. I think if you don’t have to go through security there is a great chance you would be able to make it.
I have been reading, and it seems that within Terminal 2 itself, if it is between Schengen areas, there is no control of any kind. There may only be a passport check. So from what you say, it seems that I could arrive. Thank you very much.
