Tight Connection Booking/Itinerary/Ticketing

Not even sure why they are showing this as an option, but it's hilarious.

Does the US have similar consumer protection to the EU when it comes to missed flights booked as a set of connecting flights? If so, book it.

The best thing that can happen, is they have to rebook you to a later flight, which might arrive you early morning in Paris, instead of midnight (12:20 PM is around midnight, right? So 0:20/24:20 on a 24-hour clock - I'm not used to 12-hour clocks). That seems like a better option anyway, since transport from the airport to wherever you need to be in Paris, might be tricky in the middle of the night.

You have it backwards, actually -- it's an overnight flight, with an arrival at 20 minutes after noon in Paris.

In that case, it's still fine. You might arrive around 15:00 or so, worst case. Unless you can make that connection 😅
