January 25 Flight and arrival





We flew on an Airbus 330 10/17 Revision aircraft.  Our flight was very comfortable although neither Sarah I slept too much on the plane. It was a relatively short flight---only six hours. We got a dinner meal after take-off and a light breakfast snack before arrival.
Worth it to pay for the extra legroom

 We were in the second economy cabin on the right hand side.  In front of us the bulkhead seats for this section turned into a little sleeping/rest area for the airline attendants.  I'd never seen anything like this.  They put up like curtain around the seats and the attendants could go in there and watch tv or sleep or whatever.  


When we arrived in Paris at Charles de Gaulle airport around 8 a.m., we took a little hike to the passport control area where we breezed through. We just showed our passports. There were no questions asked. We took photos to show we had arrived in Paris.





Then we went to baggage claim where our bags arrived promptly. As soon as we walked into the arrival hall we were met by our French friends.  After taking a selfie, we went to the parking garage, got in R's car, and drove approximately 30 minutes to Torcy and our hotel.

We shared breakfast together and visited.  



It was now 10:30 a.m. in France but 4:30 a.m. in our brains so Sarah and I went to our rooms to sleep.
