CDG-What is it like?

RE: CDG-What is it like?

Oh well, I’ve just come back from there today in fact! I found it to be very drab and without many shops decent bars (in T1 anyway, althougb I went to T2 a few years ago but that was just as bad). There was no air conditioning either. Very poor in my opinion, for such a usually forward thinking, stylish country……..

RE: CDG-What is it like?

I was in CDG a few days ago as well. Its quite a swell airport. Althou i would prefer if all gates there had a direct aero bridge insted of busses taking passengers to the plane. I saw alot of construction there, maybe a new terminal or something? Aeroflot, out of seven days, 3 days they operate a Il 86 and 4 days A 310s. But i quite liked CDG. Perfect for pics. I was in hall F. Yea..the food there is also very good. I took about 60 pics there.

RE: CDG-What is it like?

I was just there a few days ago. We came home from a trip to France and England, and we left CDG on a KLM 737, then flew to Amsterdam to get on a Northwest DC-10 to head to the states. Anyway, the airport is just really, really big, of course that is nothing new. The problem I had with it was that it was very easy to get lost. Shopping and restaurants, if you can find them, is very good. There is lots of things to see and lots of places to eat. As far as the types of planes you will see, just about all of them are there. Everything from Avro RJ’s and Fokker 100’s and up. Lots of 737’s and Airbus A340’s. I saw the tail of a Russian Aeroflot plane but I am not sure what it was. I would imagine an IL-86 or IL-96, but it is hard to tell. I went to eat and when I came back, it had left. Several days earlier, when our group had taken the high-speed train from London to Paris, we had passed by the airport and I saw a Concorde parked next to a hangar. Pretty unmistakeable.
