Thread: Tips for Non-reving through CDG

Thanks for all the hints! Do you think 1.5 hours is enough time for going out, checking in, going through security and getting to our flight? Someone on another forum said that CDG gives seats away only after the flight departs....what? I'll let you know how EVN is! :-)

I will try to fly the same route in june (yes, let us know about Armenia).
GP net is very accurate about the loads if it is green, it is open and yellow is quite a good chance.
CDG is a quite mess for everybody specially in summer or during French holidays. I go through there six to seven times a year.
Non reving is not more difficult than anywhere else.
Regarding the transit area it depends on the terminal and the gate I think that unfortunately there is a great chance that you will have to leave it. Custom and immigration can go fast security can be a nightmare. 1h30 minutes will be cutting very very close unless DL departs from the same Terminal in this case you might have a chance.
The arrival on AF will most likely be on T2E what about your flight on DL?
Sometimes AF give seats after they close the flight sometimes they give you a priority verification which will allow you to go through security and they will call names at the gate. If the flights are wide open, they give you the boarding pass right away.

Very easy to do, even at CDG!

Please let me know how EVN is.
My wifes mother is Armenian and we have been wanting to go.
Were thinking of DL to PRG and then OK to EVN...

Forgot to let you know about EVN (Yerevan, Armenia)! It was a great place if you are like me and like the "off the beaten track" places that are not overly inundated with touristy tourists. If your wife's mother is Armenian, it might be a wonderful destination for you to try! We are returning in 2 weeks!

Thanks to all of you for your help! It was really appreciated and made our trip much nicer! We return for another visit to that part of the world in 2 weeks.

Thanks again all!
