A "close connection" means the time to make the connection is extremely short. And yes, getting from 2E to 2D on foot is a challenge. T.

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.

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.

One had to collect ones checked in luggage at CDG and transfer it to Orly oneself. |
