I will have an hour and 10 minutes to transfer from a flight arriving at Terminal 2E and leaving from Terminal 2F
Luggage will be checked through
On YouTube it looks to be pretty straight forward
Am I crazy to try this or should I consider changing my flights (doable)
Thanks

I've transferred at CDG with less time than that (due to a delay) but I ran like hell and cut every line. Check and see if there's a later flight in case you miss the one you booked.

When I said I cut every line, what I meant was that I asked permission to go ahead of someone as I was in a hurry. The people I met were gracious enough to allow that, including the security agents.

Everything P_M wrote. Good luck.

CDG can be a absolute/total zoo - not every day but often enough that I wouldn't be comfortable booking that connection. HOWEVER - are there multiple flights to your final destination later that same day? If so, being on one ticket you you are protected and they will put you on the next available flight. If there are no/few later flights you might end up staying overnight at CDG.

Thanks for all your replies which have been very helpful

In any case, no airline will not sell a connection if it does not a very high chance to work, both for pax and bags, based on stats for flight times, delays, time to transfer gate to gate, queues at immigration... Costs for airline are just too high in case of misconnect, with compensations, bag delivery, hotel accommodation...
in CDG E to F (Air France and partners), MCT is 1h, meaning that AF wont sell a ticket with less 1h allowed to connect. Because probability to misconnect gets over something like 2%, not 50%
also good to know:
there are 3 concourses in E and 2 in F, MCT are based on the worst case, ie remotest concourse in E (M) to F1.
If your long haul flight is heavily delayed and it is certain that connection won't work, AF will anticipate it and reaccomodate before flight lands in CDG.
If connection becomes tight because of delay + difficult rerouting, AF staff may assist on arrival to speed up the transfer.
And, of course, it is up to the airline to find a solution if you misconnected.
hope this helps.

It did and I appreciate your taking the time to respond. I was able to reroute myself through Amsterdam with more time to change and feel better about the upcoming trip now. Once again, thanks to you and the others for the fast and helpful responses.

Good move Dukey, I would have done the same. I hate the stress of wondering if I can make my connection, then running like a mad woman.

I'm reminded when DH and I bought a ticket to Dublin on British Airways, which included a short connection through LGW. Our flight to LGW was delayed but we didn't worry at first because we thought we could just take the next flight to Dublin. WRONG. The problem was that we arrived on the Friday before the Bank Holiday weekend in May, and every flight to Dublin was sold out. At first they told us it would be several days before they could get us to Dublin. It was only a 10 day trip to Ireland so we would have missed a big chunk of that.

Eventually they came up with a solution. They flew us to Frankfurt, then from Frankfurt to Dublin. We arrived about 12 hours later than planned, but this was better than being several days late, as we were first told.

The point of my story is that I wish we had booked a later flight to Dublin in the first place instead of taking what seemed to be the best schedule. Re-booking after a missed connection isn't always so easy.

Enjoy your trip.

The principal thing to worry about with a short connection at CDG is where you are going on your second flight. If it is a destination with 10 flights a day there is generally nothing to worry about, even if you miss the flight you were booked on. A destination with only two flights a day can be more of a problem, but it is still the airline's job to reroute you without delay.

Yes, Kerouac, I am not worried because I am avoiding it entirely

You should have seen my transfer in Amsterdam in December. Then you might think twice. I find the distances to walk much worse than CDG now. But I'm sure you'll be fine.
