Just flew from London Gatwick to CDG in Paris.Was pretty cheap, but it took me forever to get to my destination. <BR>Also if I factored in the cost of getting to and from the airport, it would have been a wash.In Paris I had to wait 50 minutes for my luggage.I had never seen such bad baggage handling. <BR>Four or five bags would hit the carrousel at a time, then it would stop. <BR>Then for or five more would appear. <BR>THE WORST I'VE EVER SEEN. So take the train.

I'm with the Eurostar fans. While the countryside may become boring after awhile, what do you expect? A stage show? Come on -- it's a train! All you see from the sky are clouds. And let's face it, in order to take a plane from London to Paris you need to take a train or some other method of transportation in order to get to the airport. <BR> <BR>In saying that, I do have to agree that there needs to be a better way to handle the luggage. I tend to travel light, but I still had some problems actually getting my luggage onto the train. <BR> <BR>Ken's experience sounds awful. I would certainly be put out - and put off of the Eurostar. However, travel is travel. Nothing ever goes according to plan...and don't those things make the best stories?
