I actually went through France last trip, I didn't have that bad of a time but I had about 3 hours on layover so I had the leisure of asking people which way to go. 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 once flew Edinburgh to CDG then on to the south of France. 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.

Well thank you very much to everyone who posted there little run into the great shit hole of CDG exuse my french Razz But i have no choice but to go from Philadelphia to CDG and then to Moscow. 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!!
