Not me personally in Paris, but some coworkers of mine. They had a 30 minute connection (paris-JFK) and If it weren't for the fact that they were travelling in uniform and had an Air france employee running through customs and security with them, (they flew from leipzig germany-paris) they would have NEVER made that flight. I also had a flight from Leipzig germany-frankfurt with a 3 hour connection in frankfurt then a flight from frankfurt to (on lufthansa) with a 1 hour connection before a flight to chicago (on american) I called my company and told them there would be NO WAY to make it in 1 hour, going back throught customs, security and having to recheck in with AA since AA and Lufthansa are not alliance partners. they told me i was right and switched it so we had 1 hour connection in frankfurt and 3 hours in heathrow...well delayed out of leipzig AND Frankfurt and ended up with 45 minutes in london...we RAN our buts off since we were all working our off days as it was. IMO no connection should be shorter than 90 minutes. i have no idea why airlines sell tickets with tight connections. Today we had 40 minutes to connect in philly from terminal A to F (thankfully our usair flight today got in 30 minutes early so we had just over an hour)
