Yeah. I have lots of airport horror stories; trust me. I was trying to think of something fun.

Fortunately Paris is a major hub for trains. This is a far more desirable way to travel. I arrive at the station, without having to leave Paris, 20-15 minutes before departure. Get a coffee and set my luggage on the car next to my seat. Then I arrive in the city center of where I am going. It's hard to connivence me to take a plane these days.
