I've flown through a French airport once - Paris Charles de Gaulle and since have gone out of my way to not fly through it again. It was a hot mess. They lost the luggage, it was hard to find gates, parts of it looked outdated, customer service sucked. A year after, the ceiling at its _new_ terminal collapsed killing several people (https://www.thoughtco.com/charles-de-gaulle-airport-terminal-collapse-3972251 https://www.thoughtco.com/charles-de-gaulle-airport-terminal...).
Maybe it was just me having a bad luck, but it was certainly enough to convince me to stay out French airports even if it means longer flights, delay or changing the duration of my stay.
- buboard 7y agoYes CDG is doing pretty good job of deterring fliers already .
- realusername 7y agoI had a pretty good experience on my case, nothing to say really. The passport control queues were pretty optimized and things worked as they should. I've definitely seen much worse airport than that.
- rdtsc 7y agoAh ok. It was close to 15 years ago for me so maybe they have improved and I've just held a consumer grudge for too long.

- dawnerd 7y agoWhen I was last through there one of the food service employees was ripping off change from foreign travelers. When reported to the airport their response was basically, "so, what?"
