Thanks blairvanhorn,
I was actually referring to the lines to get past security (x-ray and the like) prior to entering the satellite and after passing through passport control. I think passport/immigration is only half of the headache when travelling through CDG.</font>
You're absolutely right, ROBINHOOD. Those security checkpoints at CDG are really poorly placed. Passengers have been wandering around the duty free mall, shopping, eating, drinking, etc and then try to rush to their gate. Many don't know that the security checkpoints are waiting for them at the entrance to their boarding satelite, and then they have the long "people mover" ride out to the boarding area. It does lead to lots of congestion (and stress).
