I was always getting confused by the three Halls at CDG 2E so I started saying to myself K, L, M. K is right at 2E, L is next and M is the newest.
K L M. K L M. Is it a coincidence that they spell KLM the partner airline? Or was it intended?

This may have been well over 10 years ago though...

I don't think so, but now that I think about it, it might have been the "aire Hotel" which was the temporary structure built when the current K concourse (which was the only 2E boarding pier at that time) collapsed. The aire hotel is still used for plane remote parking' but the structure built is not used anymore for pax.

My wife, she who shall be obeyed, asked that I verify that we're fine for our upcoming transit through CDG. We'll be flying DXB>CDG>ATL flying the DXB>CDG on AF then CDG>ATL on DL. All flights booked as Delta One so we have SkyPriority. Right now we're arriving and departing at 2E and have a little over three hours. Assuming we're on time arriving I see no problem but Mrs K is looking for validation of that. After a less than pleasant connection in LHR a couple of years ago she's concerned about a recurrence in CDG. Again I think all things being on time we're fine......?????

Might add that we're kind of "babysitting" a friend on the way home. His wife is staying back in UAE to visit her daughter who works there and he is traveling back with us. He's not all that old or anywhere near senile but he's just one of those folks who will wander off. We travel extensively with them and more than once we've temporarily lost him as he'll fall behind, see something that interests him, and without a word he's gone. All I need is a LHR like zoo and watching out for him. Sounds like other than keeping track of him CDG won't be too difficult. Thanks again.
