CDG Airport

Saturday – The alarm went off at 06:30. I was up, still sick and feeling nauseous. Following a rushed shower, we went down to breakfast where Sylvie dined on coffee, yoghurt and croissants and I had fruit juice and fresh fruit salad which improved the stomach. At 10:00 our bus departed to CDG through a snowy landscape. CDG is a big airport and finding the correct check-in desk in terminal 2 took some time. We were sent to different locations by airport assistance staff but eventually arrived at the correct desk as we had “Priority Check In”. New problem, we were under the impression that our luggage maximum weight was 32kg as in Business Class, however in Premium Economy it’s only 23kg and Sylvie was 25.5kg. With a bit of help from a very friendly Air France lady our bags were finally on the way, or so we thought. Another problem. Sylvie had problems with her passport and boarding pass.
