Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

Delta has a fare sale, supposedly. 48,000 miles round trip to many European cities. Sale ends tomorrow. Travel either in the fall, or next winter.

Someone on here said avoid CDG like the plague. Can I ask why?

I mean it's big but I've been to worse airports. It connects to the RER and gets you in to Paris easily (assuming no train strikes). I hear Orly is smaller which might be one's cup of tea,

It’s just a layover I was looking at. Was curious if it was notorious for missed flights or something like that which I would be looking to avoid.

I flew into and out of CDG once, back in 2000. It was great for getting onto my flight quickly - showing up late to the airport, but getting my bags checked and boarding myself in a very short time and making it onto my flight before scheduled takeoff. It was disappointed to be stuck on the tarmac for almost 3 hours after that due to unexplained reasons.

For the excursion to Thailand we so far have a planned river raft trip, snorkeling, a train ride to the mountains and some charity work with a local orphanage. Can't wait!

I feel like you might be getting the more enjoyable trip. ;)

Did you end up booking Portugal? I’ve only been there once (wouldn’t have been much help for your question last week) and it was beautiful. We stayed in Lisbon but I would love to go back eventually.

Went there a few months ago, adventured to the stunning Sanctuary of Truth - wooden cathedral type structure covered with statuettes. Indiana Jones here scored a trophy from its facade (ok...bought).
 
Re: Travel Part 3: Destination Unknown

Going thru CDG is a lot like Heath Row. Big but otherwise ok. I avoid London because the taxes are so high. Madrid and Lisbon or Dublin are much better and even Amsterdam is ok.. CDG has changed a lot in the last 5 years or so. All for the better. Clearing customs is the hardest part. Now if I was avoiding an airport, Atlanta would be the top of my list.
