Priority Check-ins

Do elites get priority check-in at CDG? I waited about 90 mins at NWA CDG check-in last weekend and while it's not a big deal to me, my companion was going nuts. I wish I had a tranquilizer gun so I could put her out my misery and load her up on a bagage cart or at the very least earplugs. I'm GE and she has no status. I wondered if I could and she couldn't but I think it would of been an uncomfortable flight back. I saw signs for Tempo/Economy but no status or even WBC check-in.

cheers

Golds & Plats did at the KL/NW ticket counter when I was there May 1. You can bring a non-elite companion or family along with you. The signage clearly spelled out GE or PE. But that was May 1 & I understand there have since been some major rearrangements at CDG.

In AMS at the gate I just went to the roped off WBC entrance w/ my GE card handy & asked if a Gold could go thru there. They were very obliging. On that trip in July my GE status got us through all the lines very quickly except passport control in AMS, since it was just a few days after the London bombings.

You can use C-class check-in @ CDG.
