Probably the same folk that refuse to listen to the cabin crew's safety announcements.How many people bother to read the fire escape map on the back of the hotel door? I bet very few.

That seems to happen a lot. A few times on my US flights people are trying to get their luggage out of the overheads while the aircraft is taxiing and the cabin crew has told them off, one woman even decided to go to the toilet bringing the whole aircraft to a stop on the taxiway for about 5 mins at a pretty busy airport.As for passengers who insist on releasing their seat belts before the aircraft comes to a stop on stand and before the captain has switched off the seat belt signs, words fail me.
With Amsterdam they should be fine they will have to go through immigration when they go into the Schengen Zone but when i did it in reverse the other week there was a fast track queue for people on tight connections. Paris CDG is different Air France use Terminal 2 but that is split up into different sections which is accessible by trains between the individual sections and they'll have to go through security and as they are leaving the Schengen immigration as well i can only guess CDG has the same fast track for tight connectons as AMS. If i was them i would try and find out what part of the airport they are arriving to and departing from. I have done a US to UK transfer at CDG but i'll be honest i felt i had to rush all the way and that was roughly about the same time wise as your friends as a result i will always pick AMS as it's a much better experience.They're now panicking that they may not have enough transfer time, especially in CDG. I know there are plenty of forum members who use both airports so having never been to either airport myself what do forum members think, are they going to struggle?
Yeah when I did my trip to Barcelona the Spanish had machines and it was quick and easy so hopefully CDG will be the same but I've never used it so can't say for certain. Amsterdam was manned and a bit slow for me but they did have a fast track for short connections. I've used KLM/Air France/Delta for a while now and I've had 2 major delays and they've looked after me both times.Thanks very much Jerry, I bet they haven't thought about Schengen,
Not really a surprise because no-one knows how long this travel advice will be needed. Probably better to do it this way rather than a series of perhaps unrealistic dates that keep having to be extended.The Foreign & Commonwealth Office now "advice against travelling overseas for an indefinite period"
Foreign & Commonwealth Office steps up plans to bring home Britons stranded overseas
The government increases efforts to bring home travellers stranded abroad by coronavirus (COVID-19) with extra flights and 10 more airlines joining its scheme.www.gov.uk
The statement has sent the travel industry into disarray because there's no indication how long indefinite could mean.
But if the dates are continually put back there is no certainty. If the FCO had extended its advice until, say, the end of April and then had to extend the deadline again into May I can't see how that helps anyone.The only thing is the travel industry needs certainty and by extending the dates by a period of a couple of weeks at a time allows people to plan and make the necessary adjustments whether that be to alter departure dates or refund.
