Making Connections For Connecting Flights

The other day we bought tickets on Delta from “da Burgh” -JFK-Paris-Vienna. We have a 1 hour 35 minute layover at CDG to make the connection with Air France to Vienna. After extensive travel in Europe this is the first time to make a connection onto our primary destination. My question is: where do we clear passport/customs? In Paris upon arrival or in Vienna? Or both?

 

Buon viaggio and thanks in advance.

The time should work, since Delta and Air France are close at CDG.

 

Your NY flight, whether it’s operated by Delta or Air France, will arrive at Terminal 2E, which serves international routes. You’ll be guided/herded to the Immigration queue to enter the Schengen area. Depending on your status with your airline, they may give you a voucher for the SkyPriority lane that moves faster.

 

Once you’re through, that’s it for passports, because your flight to Vienna is an inter-Schengen (domestic) flight. It will leave from Terminal 2F, which is a 4-5 minute walk across (actually under) the roadways from 2E. It’s one of the least complicated transfers at CDG.

 

I’m assuming the bags are checked through to Vienna; when you get there, you collect them and roll them out the Nothing to Declare door (Nichts zu verzollen) If they aren’t checked, it will be a little tighter, since you’ll have to retrieve them before heading over the 2F.

 

A good resource, by the way: http://www.easycdg.com/

Caution-Renting a car from Europcar at Stazione Termini in Roma

This past March we selected and prepaid for a compact car with a standard transmission with Europcar through Autoeurope. We have done this for years and never had a problem until last month. When we went to retrieve our car the young lady behind the desk disregarded my prepaid voucher, upgraded us to an automatic Audi A3, and charged us for the upgrade. I have read several warning posts in online bulletin boards concerning Europcar and the Stazione Termini pick-up location, but paid no…

Vienna to Padua Questions

This July we will be making our/my annual pilgrimage to Italy by way of Vienna. At first we thought to fly from Vienna to Venice and then a bus to Padua, but the discount airlines fly at ugly times and the major carriers are hugely expensive. So, we…
