First flight I remember: PHL-Stapleton (then DEN) Last flight: AKL-SFO Shortest: SZS-IVC Longest: SFO-SYD Favorite large airport: HKG Least favorite airport: CDG

Couldn't agree more about CDG!

Curious what you don't like about it. I can't think of anything other than bus to the city is super expensive and I almost got ran over by a car when stepping off the bus. But inside the airport, all was fine. Easy to navigate & could even drop on the floor to get some work done.

The announcement music. I've slept so many jet-lagged hours in terminal 2F and the music drives me insane. Other than that, terrible connections (multiple buses, hour long transfer security queues), colliding queues in the 2F's petals, paucity of shops, no quiet space…

Hm, I don't have a problem with noise, can work and sleep with elephants having a party around me. And I hate airports with lots of shops. But you don't have to change buses to get to the city. There are direct ones. Horrendously expensive, over 15 fucking euros, but they exist.

Oh I mean catching multiple buses to transfer within the airport from one plane to the other.

Oh. I've almost never had to change planes. Only when going to Australia. And one time when I had no cheap direct flights to Dublin, so I chose to spend 8h at CRL so save 80€. Would have also needed it to get from Hamburg to Oslo as there were no direct flights under 116€. 😱
