Re: Connection time BOS CDG VNO question

If everything goes ok then you should just make it. I would take hand luggage only though if you cant check it through.

If you want to play safe, you could route through AMS and take the evening flight from there on flylal. This gives you an 8 hour layover.

Hi,

I'm looking at booking two flights:
The first is a NW ff award flight which would put me on an Air
France BOS->CDG /
Then onward CDG/VNO Vilnius, Lithuania on flyLAL.
The BOS/CDG arrival is 11:50.
The CDG/VNO flight departs at 14:10
I think the two terminals involved are 2E and 2B

My question is: Will I be able to clear customs, collect luggage,
transfer between terminals, and check in at the CDG/VNO flight ?
There is the possibility of having carryon luggage only, although
while AirFrance says you have a 12 kg limit for the bag, flyLAL on
their web site says 9 kg and "a women;s purse" without specifying if
shoulder bag /laptop bag (fitting under seat is okay). So, one option
might be to have carryon only for the BOS/CDG leg and check the bags
for the CDG/VNO leg.


Why not see if you can check your bags through. NW/AF will interline baggage with Lithuanian. Just verify that you have the PNR record locator numbers so you can prove your connection is valid. And you then can take the airport connector bus from 2E to 2B without clearing customs, or you can walk between the two terminals in about 5 minutes - I've done it from AF to Ukraine International without difficulty.

Jeff

Also: any general flyLAL (Lithuanian airlines with a 737 fleet)
experiences to report ?

Thanks for any help and advice.

Cedric
