That said, I just flew CDG-IAD-ATL instead of taking one of the CDG-ATL non-stops so I could ride the A380 (Y seat on the UD) and thought it was great. Much quieter than other planes. I returned straight to LHR on a DL 764 and it was noticeably noisier.

I'm doing IAD-AMS on 8/3, AMS-LCY on 8/8 and LHR-CDG-IAD on 8/13.

Unless it is REALLY worth to do IAD-CDG-AMS because of the A380. But CDG is indeed very confusing to get around.
