Is 1.5 Hours Enough Connection Time At Paris CDG?
Flying from Rome to Houston in Business class, with a 1.5 hr layover connection in Paris Charles de Gaulle CDG airport.
What’s CDG minimum connection time?
I’ll be seated towards the front of the plane on FCO-CDG, and am somewhat familiar with CDG.
This was booked directly with Flying Blue on a standard itinerary, so Air France thinks it’s a doable CDG transfer time.
But I want to hear from actual people who have transferred at Charles de Gaulle airport.
I can’t remember when exactly I will have to go through customs, and if I will have to collect and recheck my bags.

We did that flight last week FCO-CDG-ATL.
You’ll go through passport control and business class passengers have a priority lane.
Bags will be checked to the final destination.
If everything is on time, you’ll be fine.
There’s just really not time to spare…don’t stop for the bathroom or food until you get to your gate.
I suggest carrying on the essentials if you do miss your flight.

No, you will not have to go through customs since you are going to a Schengen country.
You will just have to go straight to your gate.

If everything goes off with out a hiccup yes one delay and nope so be prepared to take a later or next day flight

Terminal 2 is huge but easy to navigate.
The problem is if one flight is Terminal 1 (unlikely).

We are doing this too this summer and have done this through CDG many times before without issue.
It should be fine, but make sure you’re ok with a backup plan (being rebooked on a later flight) in case of a delay and missed connection
-
Yes, it is doable.
90 minutes is the minimum connection time at Paris CDG for international flights.
-
You will have immigration/passport control within the terminal as you will be flying in from a Schengen flight and transiting to international.
No customs though and your bags should be checked all the way through.
You’ll likely have to take an airside bus to the international part of terminal 2.
