Having thought about this, it's remarkable for the couple of times that you
travel and the one single time you pass through Paris CDG that you have an
expert's opinion.
 
I've taken over a thousand commercial flights, passed through CDG at least a
dozen times and don't have a single complaint. Some people find JFK a living
nightmare, I've been through there some 40 times and there may have been an
occasional bad experience but in general it doesn't give me problems. Same with
Amsterdam, passed through there over 200 times. I heard Minneapolis cursed by
someone. Having been there over 50 times, I actually like the place. In general
i haven't been in really bad airports. Wait until you ever get confronted with
Atlanta Hartsfield, the biggest airport in the world ... it operates so smooth,
even when having to transfer from terminal-A to terminal-F. Never missed a
connection, never lost bags there.
 
I drew-up a rough list of airports through which I passed. For your ease, I
wrote the names as well. Bad ones? Not that I can tell ... a bad experience is
often self-inflicted by the passenger.
 
Take care,
