Alerts Sign-up
Air France-KLM has introduced a new system to help passengers with short connection times at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) reach their flights more efficiently. The initiative, called the “Short Connection Pass,” is designed to alert travelers when their connecting time drops below a certain limit and provides them with priority access at security checkpoints and throughout the airport.
The program is part of the Connect France partnership between Air France-KLM and Groupe ADP, which operates Paris’s international airports. When a passenger’s connection window becomes tight—such as 45 minutes for someone connecting from Toulouse to New York—the system automatically triggers a priority process without requiring any action from the traveler.
According to Air France, “Before or upon arrival of their flight, a passenger will receive a text message and an email notifying them that they have very limited time available to reach the boarding gate for their next flight, making them eligible for priority access at security and border control. Soon, passengers will also receive a notification and message through the Air France mobile app as well as WhatsApp.”
