how long does a connection need to be to transfer a checked bag
If you book a through-ticket and any baggage is checked through to your final destination your airline will quote a minimum connection time. Minimum transfer time recommended by â³easyCDGâ³ : â¢ 60 minutes intra terminal 1/2/3. â¢ 75 minutes between terminals 1 and 2. â¢ 90 minutes between terminals 1/2 and terminal 3. If you booked your flights separately (you have arranged your own flight connection or you need to pick up baggage at CDG)
Your airline can advise you. Generally 30 minutes is tight for baggage connections. Your flight has to arrive on time and staff have to be immediately available. As one who used to manage lost baggage, the greatest risk is when you connect, especially if it is from one airline to another. Less so if an online transfer by the same carrier.
