I currently live in Cincinnati (mid-sized US city) and want to visit Slovenia. In searching for flights, I basically have two options in my time frame:

1. Cincy to CDG (Paris), 1 hour 20 minute layover, CDG to LJU (Slovenia)
2. Cincy to JFK (New York City), 1 hour 5 minute layover, JFK to London Heathrow, 2 hour 45 minute layover, London to Slovenia.

On the surface, the first option seems much more appealing. But I’m nervous about the 1 hour 20 minute layover in CDG. Coming off an international flight, I don’t feel like that’s enough time. But maybe it is if you are catching a connection on the same airline?

I appreciate anyone’s insight on this. If you are recommending the first option, I would appreciate it if you can state whether you have direct experience with this type of situation at the CDG airport.

Thanks!
