CDG airport and connection time
 

Hey everyone. We have a 4 hour delay till our next connection. We are arriving from Canada then connecting a flight to Spsin on the same airline AF. Is that enough time? I've been reading challenges regarding cdg airport and baggage issues. Any personal experiences? Little nervous

I forgot to mention we land in terminal
2e and our next flight is in 2f. Is it easy to get across?

Hello Sophie.

'ces maudits Français' are relatively organized and efficient.

2e is next to 2f and needs 5 min walk (2G however is an entirely separate terminal, only reachable by bus) so no issue.

4 hours is plenty enough. There are sometimes hickups with immigration mostly and you can queue from 30 min to ... in chaotic situations 1 hour.

Besides I suppose you fly on one ticket so it is AF responsibility.

Four hours is even more than you will want.

I agree, a lot of time

That's a huge amount of time, enough to wander around, read a magazine, get something eat and drink, etc.

We've made one hour connections - moving purposely. 4 hours will be plenty of time for connecting.

Four hours should be plenty, provided your first flight is pretty much on time. Since it is a AF through ticket, they should put you on the next flight, if a delay causes you to miss your connection.

You can print out appropriate terminal maps or, if smarter than me, transfer the info to your electronic device.
Four hours is a very comfortable interval to navigate the immigration/security line-ups, withdraw euros from an ATM, move to the domestic wing of the terminal, and even browse the shops adjacent to your departure gate. Don't expect bargains with the $Cdn low, and it isn't duty-free since your flight is domestic.
You can find an equivalent website for your Spanish airport. If Madrid, it is a good idea to study ahead since the airport is a collection of terminals and finding ground transport may take some doing.
