    Quick question, is 1 hour enough time to change flights at CDG airport? Coming from Dublin and going on to Sao Paulo. Both flights with Air France and the same terminal and all on the same ticket. Flight from Dublin arrives at 9:30am and flight to Sao Paulo departs at 10:30am. Is this doable?

    Thanks in advance.

    If both flights are on the same ticket then you shouldn't have a problem. The company would have calculated the time to change gates.

    Even if they hadn't, 1 hour is loads of time in the same terminal.

    It is for a person, but checked-in baggage mightn't make it.

    Had a 1 hr 20 mins stopover in CDG before and my checked-in luggage arrived on the following day's flight. :(

    Sorry OP but I do not think you will make it.

    The Air France flight drops you in the middle of the airfiled and you get a bus to the Terminal, if I recall you then go up stairs to terminal 2E
    You then have to go through security to get to your gate in 2E for the onward flight.

    It's unlikely you will do all that before they close the gate for the onward flight.

    I've made a connection in CDG in Terminal 2E- 2E in 25 minutes. (50 minute layover, plane delayed by 15 mins) Even with my bag being searched going through security.

    Just know your route. The slow part is the long shuttle bus which usually takes 5-10mins to get to the terminal. You should be fast forwarded through security if you ask and tell them your flight will leave soon like I have been the last few times. Don't hang around and walk fast and it's easily made.
    My bag sometimes makes it, other times it doesn't, but AF deliver it to wherever you are the next available flight it can go on.
