CDG’s Short Connection Pass Launches to Expedite Tight Transfers

Passengers now receive real-time alerts to fast-track them through priority control lanes whenever their transfer window drops below 45 minutes.

À l'aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, grâce au « short connection pass », les porteurs d'un billet Air France-KLM ou d'une des compagnies de l’alliance Skyteam peuvent bénéficier d'un dispositif de priorisation de transit.
