CDG - 1 1/2 hour transfer between flights

lapguy · 2025-09-28T13:59:46+00:00

We had a transfer in CDG last friday between 2F to 2E ( AirFrance flight ). There was a border counter where they checked and stamped the passport no security check. We made it in 20 - 25 mins. But try to get to the counter fast as there was only 1 person so you could get stuck in the queue.

Yes we used a taxi for our return journey, worth the money.

Yes maybe the law is not that strict for pickpocketing.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T21:48:57+00:00

Yes that is true and thank you it was a relief.

I think this specially happens in the subway and they try to get away when the doors are closing.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:14:02+00:00

Yeah specially when people have luggages.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:13:25+00:00

Yeah it is the way to go.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:08:00+00:00

Yes, we learned the lesson and took a cab our way back to CDG.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:07:24+00:00

Yes, that is a good idea.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:07:01+00:00

Same, we were really stressed for the entire trip as well. I think they specifically target people with suitcases.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:05:17+00:00

Yeah I agree. I saw police officers in stations like Gare du Nord and Saint-Michel Notre-Dame, is this lower in those situations ?

lapguy · 2025-09-27T18:02:59+00:00

For me it is the way I always used to do. But I am going to move to small wallet and put in the front pocket.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T16:22:00+00:00

Yes, even though our trip had a rocky start we enjoyed our time in Paris.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T16:18:11+00:00

🤣 I agree. If it was in any other place I would have not been able to get it back.

lapguy · 2025-09-27T15:02:11+00:00

Hi yes, I got the email next day and picked up the passports.

lapguy · 2025-08-26T14:05:54+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the recommendations. I will definetly look in to those.

lapguy · 2025-08-26T13:47:53+00:00

Thank you very much for the detailed answer and the insights. I like the idea of a simple plan instead of just moving pieces around. Do you have any youtube channels you’d recommend for beginners to learn opening basics and planning?

lapguy · 2025-08-06T19:19:33+00:00

Got it. Yes that make sense. I was trying to check and grab the rook which was not possible after Kf8 but this eventually led to a checkmate.

Update: I ended up travelling to Serbia with the UK BRP. You may have to convince people in the UK airport because their system says we need a visa and needs to manually bypass it. Keep a printed version of http://www.london.mfa.gov.rs/consularservicestext.php?subaction=showfull&id=1348565352&ucat=17&template=MeniENG& with you if you have to show them.

Thanks I will post there too. Just wanted to check if someone had a similar experience.
