I'm thinking of booking a flight from Zurich to Paris (CDG)on Swiss air with a connection on BMI to Belfast. Swiss arrives 11:25 and BMI departs 15:30. Is this enough time between flights?

Thanks for your help.

Of greater concern to me would be the length of the layover, which is more than four hours -- but yes, it is more than enough time to cover any contingencies you might be able to reasonably anticipate.

Oops, that should have been 13:30 not 15:30. I shouldn't try typing at 1:30 in the morning.

Swiss uses Terminal 2B in CDG, while BMI uses Terminal 1. So, while this should be a non-Schengen transfer, I believe you have to go through French immigration at 2B and then transfer to Terminal 1.

Still 2 hours should be enough. Just know that you're switching terminals.

Last time I did it, it was an airside bus. 45 mins gate to gate.

Can't remember going through immigration for a non-Schengen international transfer anywhere except in North America or in the UK for transfers to the ROI.

Not even in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

Thanks for the correction, flanneruk.

Thanks rkkwan for the info on the terminal changes. I had no clue which terminal I would be flying into or approx. time needed.

You've all been a BIG help. Thanks
