CDG Paris
 

We are booked to fly from Atlanta to CDG Paris to Moscow on Air France. We have two hours to change planes in CDG airport. Is this enough time? Does this mean we will have to retrieve luggage, go through customs, get boarding passes? This is a GCT and they fouled us up on another connecting flight, so I am nervous.

Enough.

You don't retrieve luggage, you don't go through immigration or customs, and you will have all your BPs issued in ATL.

Both flights use Terminal 2E, though depending on the actual gate, you may have to take a short train ride. I think you'll have to go through security.

Your bags will be checked through to Moscow. You don't need to go through passport control or customs. You should receive all of your boarding passes in Atlanta. Your transit is all within 2E and will only require a security check. However, there are two parts to 2E, the main boarding area gates E21-47 and the S3 satellite gates E51-76, so you'll need to check your departure gate on arrival to determine which part of 2E you'll need to go to. A quick and frequent monorail connects the two parts.

2 hours should be plenty of time.

Thanks for the information! I was having an anxiety attack over this layover. On our last trip with GCT they had a two hour layover to switch planes, get boarding passes, retrieve our luggage, etc. We missed our plane to Sydney and there was not another one until a day later. Long Story! Anyway, does Air France have many flights to Moscow?

<i>Anyway, does Air France have many flights to Moscow?</i>

I count 5 flights per day on Air France. There are another 4 flights per day on Aeroflot, with whom Air France partners.

Good to know that Air France has that many flights to Moscow, in case we do miss our plane. I don't know if I would want to fly on Aeroflot or has the safety issue been resolved?
