a whinge about Paris Charles de Gaulle airport – what a dump
Posted by Adrian on Nov 18, 2009 in business | 1 commentI’m pretty well travelled with about 40 countries visited over the years, but I’ve never been to such a poor airport as paris charles de gaulle where I have been 3 times in recent weeks.
- Its got the traffic problem from hell, taking 40 mins for the bus I took to the trade show to even get out of the airport
- its ugly, and takes for ever to move between gates with everything so far apart
- the facilities are diabolical – I’m sat at the gate after security and there is no food or drink anywhere, and through most of the airport there are no seats anywhere
- even the plugs for laptops wont take overseas adapters, its as if the airport has gone out of its way to make life difficult for travellers
- the wifi is more expensive than switzerland
- it looks like something designed by overly creative schoolchildren
Suffice to say I will avoid this place in future and recommend others to do so as well!
Some years ago, traveling I had the choice of direct from LHR or East Mids via Charles de Gaulle. Traveling back on a Friday, I decided to go for the short route home. What a mistake. No signs to tell you where to go, no information about a delayed flight, which ended up being cancelled some hours later, and when asked why we had not been told, was told that I know now!! What a joy!! I avoid it at all costs now.
