When was this? I didn't know Paris, TX ever had scheduled commercial service. (I've actually been to the ariport before)
And how does an entire family board a flight to Paris, TX with boarding passes for CDG (presumably on a completely different airline)?

For that matter, how did you learn of the incident? You say you "would have loved to see the outcome" but somehow you know that they "thought TX was just a code for the international airport(CDG Terminal)."

Sounds apocryphal to me.
