Hi Guys

I really need your advice.

I Am a Danish Citezen who is flying from the US Via charles de gaulle airport (paris, France) and then I have to wait 8 hours for my connecting flight to Denmark.

Now I have written the airport and asked if I can leave the airport during these 8 hours to kill som time.

And They keep saying that Im am not allowed to leave the transitarea !!

I find it hard to belive that it is legal to deny me to leave the airport.

Both Denmark and France is the EU and part of the Schengen Group.

Is this normal pratice ?

Any experiences / input ?
