Is one hour really long enough to change planes in Paris? My friend and I are taking our first trip to Europe this fall, using frequent flier award tickets we booked almost a year out...destination Munich. Knowing a connection would be necessary, and being overseas newbies, we deliberately chose an itinerary with a long transfer time...3 hours at CDG.
Well, shortly after we booked the airlines (alliance partners Northwest/Air France) changed the itinerary on us. The transatlantic departure was moved back 1 1/2 hours and the flight time lengthened as well, but the CDG-MUC flight time remains the same. So our connection time has shrunk from 3 hours to 1. We're rather leery about this...we don't know whether or not as transit passengers if we need to clear customs there, and we don't speak a word of french. Any thoughts or suggestions on this are appreciated.
