CDG-Paris Charles de Gaulle

I’m currently traveling from Delhi to Montreal, but my initial flight into Paris was delayed by about an hour, which caused me to miss my connecting flight. I’ve been rebooked, but the next available departure isn’t until Sunday, resulting in an unexpected ~22-hour layover at...

Got a 5h50 layover at CDG coming up and trying to figure out what makes sense. Mainly wondering if checked bags just go through automatically or if I need to deal with them during the transfer. Also tempted to leave the airport for a quick trip into Paris, but not sure if that’s...

First time flying international and first time with Air France, so trying to avoid surprises. I keep hearing that AF weighs carry on bags. Mine is definitely overweight. Do they usually check this at check in, or is it more of a gate thing? I’m debating whether to just pay for...

PP says this “lounge” is right past security in 2E L gates, nope. It’s in the far corner before security, which sent us on a wild goose chase after we’d already cleared. A helpful airport employee even walked us back… straight out of the secure area. Had to go through security...

In a taxi right now going from CDG to the Marais and I assumed it’d be the fixed 56 euro right-bank fare. Didn’t confirm it when I got in, and now the meter is running. Asked the driver and he said when traffic is bad they just switch to metered rates. It’s crawling, looks like...

Booked AF337 specifically to avoid extra takeoffs and landings… then got the message that it now has a stop in YVR “for operational reasons.” No explanation at first, and it’s only an hour on the ground, which made it even weirder. Called Air France and they said it’s a fuel...

Flying out of Terminal 2E Hall L soon and planning to spend a few hours in the Air France lounge. I’ve heard about the Clarins facials there do you just book when you arrive, or is it tough to get a slot?

Was in the Star Alliance lounge at CDG (Terminal 1) and noticed a door marked “VIP Entrance invitation only.” Anyone know what that’s for or who actually gets in there? I had regular Star Alliance Gold access, but now I’m curious… and a little jealous. :)

That scene at CDG felt exactly like my last time there total gridlock before security. The whole mess comes down to timing and layout. They schedule a bunch of big departures close together, so hundreds of people show up at once. Staffing always seems light, and every other bag...
