I've only flown through there a couple of times (both this year), but it's at the bottom of the barrel as far as I'm concerned for European airports. I was coming off a long JNB flight, and I see my flight attendant light up in the middle of the terminal. I guess it's just a french thing, seemed rude to me. It does explain the stench that is attached to the airport, though.

I'm much rather take AMS any day!
