It's not that uncommon when things are busy.

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...

Ciao,

Paul

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

Can't be worse than a British flight we took a few years ago from
SFO to Heathrow and our conecting BA flight to Helsinki was at
Gatwick.

"Sounding close" and reality at CDG are two different things,
The terminals are on opposite sides of a road that is virtually impossible
to walk across, you have to rely on the shuttle bus service.
