I did not mean to be completely anti AZ with my post. I will agree that they are more friendly than AF, and the connections are less of a hassle at MXP than CDG. It my be my bad luck, but I always seem to be stuck on C class with the A-321 or similar and I do seem to always hit a strike (The Janitor strike a few years ago was particularly disgusting, garbage everywhere in the terminal).
My CDG recommendation was more based on saving 2 hours of flying.
Cheers
