catching connecting flight to biarritz

[Kathy Laskowski]

Wondering if I allowed enough time to catch my easyjet flight from Paris (CDG) arriving at 9:30am and easyjet leaving at 10:55am. All I have is a carryon pack. Thanks for answers

Doubt it very much. Customs clearance, etc, and CDG is not an easy airport to navigate. Plus if you miss it no recourse. I had a similar problem but it going via Dublin with lots of time but was concerned about delays into Dublin and missing my RyanAir flight so decided to stay overnight. Would be ok if the flight was code share but yours and mine are not. If you were going to risk it. Would plan your journey from the arrival terminal to the Easy Jet flight in great detail. Find out what the arrival gate and departing gates are and see how to get from one to the other and pray.

Of course in your case if you miss it you can always get a train and put the thrown away airfare to bad luck.

No.

Planes almost never arrive on time. Even if they do, they often count the time they hit the runway as having arrived.

It will take at least a half hour to deplane.

Customs. I guess it depends on where you are travelling from. I don't have the experience of Paris but I have spent upwards of an hour getting through customs in Britain, Argentina, New Zealand, and Canada. Usually its longer if several large planes arrive at the same time.

Next you will likely go from international terminal to domestic terminal (which may take a half hour) where you go through check in, security etc. Easy Jet usually wants you in their departure lounge a half hour before departure.

So again ... no you don't have enough time.

If I were you I would allow 2 hours minimum.

But don't let me deter you ... who knows ... you might get really lucky.
