Wow, this thread has gone WAY off topic. I really have a pretty simple question.
Is AF less likely to get banished to a bus gate than DL? Seemed to me during my last trip that the ADP and AF people basically treat DL and its passengers like second class citizens, and they get the worst of everything.
Because I'm actually flying AF metal this time, do I have a greater chance of better airport customer service (like an actual gate)?

Af is the first victim of this.
Last thursday I had a tight connection from 2F(non schengen area) to 2F(schengen area) and I finally arrived to 2D instead of 2F and had to rush !!!

Really??? I suppose that's also why AF is in the really bad terminal whereas the others are in the super-nice terminal...

Gate
With a recent DL connection I had a proper gate at CDG both ways. With a recent AF connection...the bus, both ways.

Agreed, you find AF only 95% perfect (not 100%), but airline representatives on other airline forums do not try to disguise as FT.
