to answer everyones questions
1)reason for posting was i wanted to get a consensus if people are still using CDG as a transiting airport despite the situation, with the rationale that the airport is well protected and if anything perhaps now even more then regular
2)my personal story was we were switching planes in paris routing was TLV>CDG>EWR we had an 1hr 45 min connect time bet flts being we traveled business cls i figured id go to the lounge and daven schachris (would be more comfortable then doing it in middle of the airport) my wife was in wheelchair the chap who came and wheeled her was adamant their was no time to stop in the lounge as we would miss the flight (guess he just wanted to finish his job and get rid of us, we soon figured out why) which puzzled me so i stopped another airport wheel chair person to verify this asking her if we would miss our flt if we first went to the lounge she spoke to my wheel chair person in french and he conceded reluctantly to drop us off at the lounge and would come get us after 25 minutes
i davened and went to the desk requesting for the wheel chair fellow to come get us and bring us to our gate for the connecting flt, he was 1/2 hr late, and we were really nervous about making our connecting flt( the best is yet to come though) when my wife took a selfi of herself and the wheel chair person, the guy blew it and reached to grab my wifes cell phone knocking it out of her hands in a tug of war with my wife in order to erase his picture screaming in french that its illegal to take pictures in the airport. he refused to take us to our connecting flt but was finally convinced by the lounge personnel to finish his job (boy did he finish his job) he took us to the opposite end of the airport which we needed and dropped us off like a sack of potatoes i looked around didnt see our gate or flt at that location and started wheeling the wheel chair plus lugging 2 wheeli hand luggages and carry ons myself , by now were really frantic about missing our flt .
we were some sight i finally stopped an airport person asking them if they could direct me to the proper gate which was on the other side of the airport in meanwhile i found our culprit and started snapping his picture on my cell phone sreaming in english making a commotion trying to get police or anyone with authority to tell my story to. i was finally offerd help by another airport person and got to the gate we were the last ones on (they were waiting for us b'h)they asked me if i had any weapons i said yes my mouth the security personal werent amused but i asked for the police as i wanted to make a complaint against our wheeli cousin i had his picture and may still follow up with delta the delta airport manager came after my commotion and was sympathetic she gave me her direct e mail and explained that the airport personal are hired and paid directly by delta to take care of transporting their wheelchair passengers so at least delta took my complaint seriously
turns out the perp is our cousin his first name was ACHMAD .(HES FROM THE 10 %ERS MUSLIM POPULATION IN FRANCE) that should answer everyone's questions ( it definitely answered mine )
that my fellow ddfrs(and dan shlita) is my paris saga.I vowed after that never to travel thru paris
but the price of $545.00 to NEWARK on AF is tempting especially since its not me its for my son
