Hello, I hope this is the right community to ask this. I have a flight in December from Valencia (Spain) to Tokyo with Air France. I have a layover in Paris CDG.

The flight from Valencia to Paris arrives at CDG at 08:20 in terminal 2G. And the flight from Paris to Tokyo departs at 9:30 in terminal 2E.

I have been researching and I believe that this is not enough time to make the connection. I contacted Air France and initially they told me that it was not enough time, and they offered me some more expensive alternative flights, which I am not satisfied with, as I would arrive a day later. When I told them that their website states that they are responsible for making the connection possible, they started to say that the connection is indeed possible. I also tried to cancel the flight from Valencia to Paris and take another airline that arrives earlier, but they say that cannot be done without paying, as it is part of the same itinerary.

I don’t have much experience flying, and I would like to know your opinion.

Thank you very much!

    Hey! I just traveled through ~8 countries in the EU. I give you a 50/50 shot at making your flight. 2 hours is the recommended time between flights, so I’m not sure why they tried to book your flights so close together. However, as long as you are good at following directions, and as long as your initial flight isn’t delayed, you should make it to your second flight with some time to spare. Those are two big ifs though, as airports in foreign countries can be confusing, and flights are often delayed. I genuinely think this is a roll of the dice in terms of luck. That being said, good luck!
