It says the PHL-CDG arrives at 2E and the CDG-BLQ departs 2D. That
sounds like a close connection to me.

but with a very high chance that the luggage won't get transferred to
the next flight in time. From experience I reckoned that two hours was
the minimum time for luggage to get transferred. maybe things have
improved in the last ten years at CDG. The luggae always arrived
eventually, usually 12-24 hours later. It only needs a bit of air
traffic congestion and he will miss the connection too.


I was wondering who booked these connections. At least if he's booked
through all the way with AF then they'll put him on the next plane, and
maybe even his luggage as well.

Until direct flights were available between A'dam and Toulouse, my
employer did. I flew via Heathrow or Frankfurt or Gatwick for a while
until my employer did a deal with KLM and we were obliged to fly with KLM.


Maybe if the plane is late they won't wait for him. It is worth telling
the cabin crew if you have a tight connection time. Once BA picked me up
with a car from the apron at Gatwick and took me to a waiting connecting
plane.

Can't be worse than a British flight we took a few years ago from

I guess it all depends on the airline. LH is pretty good. I haven't done
enough connecting flights with other airlines to judge.

My experience of CDG was that lost/delayed luggage problems were airline
independent.

The luggage problem is an airport problem although often the airline
gets the blame. KLM frequently lost more luggage than any other airline,
because they are the main user of Schiphol which has an expert systems
for losing luggage. The luggage handling system at Schiphol is going to
be replaced soon. I don't think the current system has ever been able to
cope during busy periods.

The shuttle is the norm.

CHARLES DE GAULLE TERMINAL 2 E

CHARLES DE GAULLE TERMINAL 2 D

The 2 terminals are next to each other. See map.
One is international, the other is for flights in the Schengen zone.

ACK!

In CDG, it is essential whether you have an Air France flight or not.
Air France (and their partners) use terminal building 2, most of the rest
of the world uses terminal 1. They are at least 15 mins (if not more) by
bus distant from each other.

Here, two AF flights may be separated only by a short walk and a passport
control. Hopefully, teak will make his connection!

BTW, terminal 1 is a very interesting building of the 1970s(?), with a
high-class concept of a circular structure with moving staircases in tubes
connecting floors and functions. Invest a curious look at it if you have
two hours time, and hope that you'll never arrive late for your flight
with
three boys, having to transport all of your luggage and those small guys
through those tubes...

Is that offered as a connecting flight by the BA booking system? Some
years back I had an AF fight arriving at CDG and the AF connecting
flight was from Orly. Air France did not offer this on the booking as a
connecting flight, I had to book the legs separately.

I have had the same experience. One had to collect ones checked in luggage
at CDG and transfer it to Orly oneself.
