LH 4210 Frankfurt - Paris Charles de Gaulle
Scheduled Departure : 0735
Flight Time : about 45 minutes

There was about a 20 minute delay for boarding as the pilot was stuck in traffic. A backup pilot was called and he rushed to the airport for the flight. In fact, he just arrived 20 minutes before we started boarding.

The airplane was parked outside the terminal building, so passengers were bused to the aircraft.

The crew was frantically distributing sandwiches and drinks since the flight was only 45 minutes long. Almost everyone on board were male businessmen. It wasn't a full flight and I took a seat right at the back with a window view.

CDG 1 is quite old. There is an open area in the middle where several glass-covered escalators criss-cross each other.
