Question
Hello,

I will be travelling from Lyon to Buenos Aires via Paris. (connecting flight)

My flight from lyon reaches to Paris at 10.10pm and I have a connecting flight
for Buenos Aires at 11.15pm which is at the same terminal I arrive from Lyon.
Will I have enough time? I initially booked my ticket from Air France itself
and the agent booked on these timings. However, since i found a better deal on
airfrance.fr, I decided to book it online. I hope I have enough time to catch
my connecting flight. What happens if I miss it?

Best Rgds

Answer
Dear Vishal,

If the AF website allowed you to make such reservation, it means that the minimum connecting time is within the limits.
If you miss the Paris-Buenos Aires leg due to any delay on the Lyon-Paris (weather conditions excluded) it will be up to AF to accommodate you on the next available flight, operated either by AF or other airline.

Best Regards,
R. Gomes
