If I am on a flight from Malaga Spain to CDG and I have 90 minutes until my Air France flight to JFK, will I make it? Do I even have to go thru customs to just pass thru? Thank you for any information.

No customs or immigration for flights in the Schengen zone. They operate the same as domestic flights.

If you are using a single ticket from Malaga to JFK, you should make it. If you are traveling on separate, individual tickets, 90 minutes is not nearly sufficient time. Check in and luggage drop off for transatlantic flights typically closes 60 minutes before departure.

There are also been recent reports of outbound Immigration lines of more than 1 hour long.

"No customs or immigration for flights in the Schengen zone. "

Well, sort of.

You arrive as if on a domestic flight, but need to go through outgoing French passport control to leave the Schengen area for the US.

You are also subject to security checks, though there is no Customs inspection.

If you really want to know the details of this (which depends on whether you thjrough check your bags art Madrid), go to http://easycdg.com/passenger-informa...t/where-to-go/

But if you are making a same-ticket, same airline connection at CDG, you're really asking the wrong question: if you fail to make the connection because the incoming flight's late, they'll book you on the next available flight to NY.

If you're arriving on a different ticket from your connecting flight, with checked baggage, you may need to collect it, change terminals and recheck. This will take far longer than you've budgetted.

I would worry about how far you have to go to make flight connections. We had long, long walks to make connections from a US arriving flight to a flight to Spain and had the same problem on our return. You definitely have to go through passport control to get on the flight to the USA. I would want more time.

As usual, people are answering questions that were not asked.

>>As usual, people are answering questions that were not asked.<<

Maybe so -- BUT the OP obviously doesn't understand what Customs is or how it works if s/he is asking about Customs on a flight from Spain to France. So the question is not reflecting the problems the OP faces transiting to a US bound flight.

Everyone agrees there will be no Customs.

>>Do I even have to go thru customs to just pass thru?<<

. . . so the 'answer' is "No". How does that help him?????

The OP can check the infomation they need at: www.parisaeroport.fr/en or http://easycdg.com

They will have to change to the international terminal. How long it takes dependis on which domestic terminal they will be arriving at. For that, they will need their flight information.

I have noticed that it is very common for US posters to ask about "customs" when they are really interested in passport control. Possibly because the two functions are combined in the US, as U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and because there is no "walk through" green lane for customs.

Just to be clear, the Immigration that will be required at CDG is outbound passport control. However, it is always possible that passports could be checked upon arrival in France. I recently went through Immigration on a flight from FCO (Rome) to BOD (Bordeaux). Passports were checked but not stamped.
