11:40 arrive CDG, 12:53 TGV to Reims
 

First time poster, long time browser here. I'm flying direct from Seattle overnight to CDG on Air France. Supposed to arrive at 11:40 (on a Tuesday if that matters). Then the 12:53 TGV to Reims. On the airport map the TGV station looks close to 2E, but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me if I'll have any trouble making that train on time? I already bought the ticket. Any insight appreciated...

As long as you're departing from the CDG TGV station, it's connected to 2E.

One of them tells how long it takes to walk the halls of T-2.

According to the map at easycdg.com, it's a four-minute walk from 2E to the TGV station. Is your ticket a PREM'S that you printed yourself? If so, that will save you from having to stand in line at the window to collect your ticket (lines can be long). If you land on time, get through immigration/passport control and luggage claim expeditiously, and already have your ticket in hand, you'll make your connection witout any trouble. However, if you get held up for any reason, all bets are off.

Without checked luggage, no problem. With checked luggage, it can take from 10 to 50 minutes to get out of the baggage claim area.

Thanks all...already have my pre-printed PREMs ticket and will have no checked luggage, whew, I feel better now! Now as long as the plane isn't delayed...
