Ohhhhhhhhh wait, almost forgot...
...my favorite experience at CDG, in the Continental Terminal,where you enter and go through security to the left of the check-in desks, then are directed to the right to find that -- due to some lame-brained architect's idea of efficiency, you have to bring your heavy luggage up two flights of stairs and walk through a smoked-choked cafe only to have to bring your luggage back downstairs about 10' later. Try that with an 80-y.o. grandmother at your side.
I'm getting annoyed just thinking about it.
CDG = Pathetic
