I actually prefer airside but have things changed on this in the past 3 months? This was the last time I used it on the public side (I do it when someone comes to the airport with me) and never had a problem with that. Incidentally, you can even get a shoe shine voucher if you fancy one!

Ah yes-the freebie shoeshine voucher.I make sure i travel in my scruffiest pair of shoes just for the occasion.

Foodwise it wasn't that long ago you got fairly decent canapes(tartlets,smoked salmon,satay .....)

-which sadly went the way of

the free valet parking

....and little bottles of champagne.

Yes - the shoe shine vouchers! I also save up my tatty shoes for the vigorous attention of the lovely Estonian boys with the brush and polish

Incidentally, I do like the CityJet sandwiches - which appeared to be supplied by a catering firm close to LCY - but I wish they wouldn't use bread covered in seeds. They get everywhere...

Somebody got news on the vouchers of 10€ in CDG 2G terminal (that's where there's no lounge)??? Still available ???
Otherwise I will try to stop in 2D or 2C lounges where navette stops before going in 2G... at least I can check emails before my flight...

If you want to use it landside, it is the place upstairs indeed, which does serve food (albeit not for cheap!) The sandwiches remain a mystery to me, they are often very good, but sometimes horrible, I think the ones on the Orly flights are the ones they serve on other flights from Orly and are vastly inferior, the other flights seem ok and must have the London sandwiches you are mentioning! I agree the Estonian guys are really nice!!
