How bad is CDG airport?

Wasn't askin. Wouldn't do it again, I didn't like it, swmbo didn't like it, junior 1 and 2, don't like fast rides. No 2, aged 9, wouldn't spend any money in the shops as it was tat. Made me proud. Did get a photo with Mickey:D But he was French:mad:

Just had a peek at your profile Al Mac, you joined on my birthday, Rabbie Burns day, there's a coincidence.

As others have stated, it is a concrete jungle, cr*p toliets (pardon the pun!) and with few shopping facilities compared to most major airports - particularly landside, but not much airside either. If you are flying easyjet or another cheap airline, most now land in the newer shed like building (Terminal 9?), and from there it is a fair old hike to transit buses, and airport train station.

Apart from that it's fine.

i've used CGD several times and things have beem fine (apart when all my luggage went AWOL but Heathrow was to blame). Not the prettiest airport but I found it quite easy to navigate.

I got a map of the airport from their website but it still wasn't much help. You need to know which terminal you're arriving at and where you're heading to....shuttle to train station was Porte 22 for us. Luggage reclaim seemed miles from arrivals. Look at Paris info onTripadviser.com , I found that very helpful - been twice recently.
