AF - CDG
I've used Air France-CDG frequently over the past few years - with round trips ABZ-GIG twice in the past two months.
Originating in ABZ the AF Regional aircraft parks at a remote station and we are bussed to the terminal.
Dependant on where you are going a terminal change is then usually required e.g. 2E to 2F. The connecting bus *always* heads the long way round the circuit! :-)
All of this takes time and any delay in getting to CDG from ABZ can put the connection in jeopardy.
The outbound flight from CDG may also be from a remote parking station so my advice is to allow a *minimum* of 1.5 hours between flights. More is really better....less? - better get that sprint training underway! :-)
I agree that the restaurants are a little limited in 2E/F but the AF Lounge is not too bad and also offers showers which are a great way to freshen up between flights.
Happy landings
