I know this sub hates CDG but I was not prepared for how truly cumbersome, exhausting and horrible getting anywhere in this airport truly is. I live in another city in France and usually take flights from Orly if I ever go to paris, not saying it’s an amazing airport but at least I wasn’t shuttling, bussing, and running everywhere like a headless chicken. This weekend I had to take an international flight so I went through CDG, I remembered my first time here being unpleasant but this time was genuinely hellish. I feel like I traversed the length of an entire city by the time I got to my gate. Every time I thought it was nearly over it wasn’t and there was another winding corridor, mile long hallway or random train or bus or shuttle to catch. I think running a marathon in the rain with no shoes would genuinely be a more pleasant and less exhausting experience and I am not an athletic person at all.
