Our connection flight was impossible to reach - along with several other passengers we ran from Terminal G to F, only to miss our connection. Time between flights was one hour. We did also ask to be moved forward both at the security and passport queues. Unfortunately no staff member was willing to help - even showing our baording passes. This is what we mentioned to the support staff at the Air France Desk. The staff member there was not surprised, not helpful and simply plain rude French. He printed out new boarding tickets for a flight 6.5 hours later(!) We did not get an apology - only a 15 EUR voucher; which at Paris-Charles de Gaulle is barely enough for a hot meal with a drink.
The staff member did make sure to book us separat seats, each middle seats in different rows. And guess what? The flight was not even full! We ended up moving to free seats so we could sit together.
We arrived at out destination over 7 hours too late! We contacted Air France referring to Directive No. 261/2004 , giving a passenger the right to a compensation of at least € 250. Air France argued that the flight connection was indeed possible to make.
This way of behaving is in my opinion, fraudulent to say the least. If you ever travel with Air France and something goes wrong – do not count on Air France to live up to any due responsibility or even to respect and follow established law.
I'm deeply disappointed and happy to pay more or travel longer with other airlines where at least I know the service will be justified.
