Up in Arms!!!
Fodorites, <BR>Is it just me, or are all airports in Europe as archaic as Charles DG? I'm not a seasoned traveler like most on this message board, but in my opinion CDG is a poor first and last impression of Paris. Oh! By the way. I love Paris and the surrounding area. It was just the airport that had me up in arms. Viva la France!

Ever been to SFO? NO public transit conmnections, horrendous on-time record, etc., etc. A new International terminal is about to open, but no additional runway, which is what is needed. <BR> <BR>O'Hare is also a nightmare. Have not enjoyed connections in Frankfurt or Berlin much, either. (Long shuttle bus rides, and walking on the tarmack in the snow to board....) Comparatively speaking, I didn't think CDG was bad!

OKay - Logan anyone? If the terminals themselves aren't bad enough, has anyone tried leaving the airport lately? I'm from just outside of Boston and it's all I can do to get back on the MassPike. I can only imagine what it must be like for a 'foreigner' to try to get of the airport!

Logan is a great airport when not under construction; of course, it's *always* under construction (good subway connections, though). Even Boston cabbies look scared when you mention "take me to the airport".<BR><BR>JFK is a great airport when not under construction; of course, it's *always* under construction (ever try to tell someone where you'll meet them?)<BR><BR>CDG is pretty bad; I'm used to it so I tend not to notice (transport via the RER is pretty easy, though).<BR><BR>I wish I could remember the airport I was in about a year ago - tiny room in the basement for checkin, wet floors from leaks, broken plastic chairs - blocked the location completely from my mind.<BR><BR>Supposedly it's been fixed up, but the last time I was in Pittsburgh's airport, it was pretty bad. <BR><BR>
