EY boarding from tarmac at CDG?
This actually did not bother me at all, but I am curious why a 777 would board from the tarmac instead of at one of CDG's gates?

Likely no gate available. Happens all the time at LHR.

Interesting, I didn't realize such big airports could run out of gates, I considered something mechanical but not availability. The airport didn't appear to be very busy at the time, though. It was around 10am.

Hi Fleck,
We are sorry if any inconvenience caused. The gate maybe changed due to operational reason. Thank you. *JS

Hi, it didn't inconvenience me at all. I was simply curious. I had a perfectly acceptable flight and the staff was excellent.
Thank You
