I don't see luggage being transferred to my plane in 45 minutes, even if I am able to run to the concourse and make the plane myself. I can't rebook this flight, just going to have to deal with it.

I had 1hour to change, but when the flight from Edinburgh didn't leave till 35 mins later than it should have, I was already panicking before I got to Paris. I then discovered the next flight was leaving from what seemed miles away and had to literally race across terminals hoping to catch it. I got on well after last boarding calls had been announced, and had resigned myself to the fact that the party I was going to would not be so good, as I would be without my kilt, which was in my suitcase. However, miracle of miracles, when I got to Clermont Ferrand, my suitcase was somehow there when the luggage came off! So the folk I went to see got their first taste of a Scotsman in a kilt after all! Despite that, like others, I would never wish to travel Air France, or through CDG again.

So i booked the one where i will have a 3 hour 20 minute overlay instead of the 1 hour 10 minute, so it shall give me plenty of time to walk through the smelly people and airport. And also on the way home from Moscow i have to return to France for a 2½ overlay to get back to Philadelphia. If i would of booked 3 days ago i would of chose the perfect flight to Italy but i didnt recieve my Visa until yesterday and i didnt want to book not knowing if my visa was approved or not. Last year when i left Moscow i had to go to Paris for a 2 hour overlay but the flight had a extra 2 hour delay and i was on Xanox. I took the Xanox about 30 minutes from when i thought the plane was going to come but to find out at the 2 hour mark that it wont be here for another 2 hours. I have past out in the departing area and had some woman wake me up. Next thing i remember was being outside in the cold walking up the steps to go on the plane BUT it turned out it was a plane going to CANADA! So we all had to turn around on those metal steps and my boot slipped on the steps and i came tumbling down the steps cursing my ass off at everyone and then i had some guy walk me to the correct flight where i past out in my chair until i arrived in Paris. This is a 100 % true story and i will bring my Xanox on any airplane i go on so i will have more stories to tell. Thank you to everyone, Sveta here i come!!
