Thread: Best European city to fly standy OUT of?

CDG has its pros and cons. One BIG pro is mutliple flights/gateways (gee, we still have CVG!!) another is the TGV to connect to AMS, BRU for next day travel (as in, the famous French strike for a day scenario)
Also--reasonable hotels near Roissy w/free shuttle
BIG con is famous French strike for a day. $12 beers, long security lines (except when you can prove you have tight connection--there is an express line)
Big con is that it's CDG and a "general [de gaulle]" pain the derriere
Other BIG con is the number of nonrevs at any given time frame

All that said, when you work with the staff there, you'll find them quite nice and accommodating to nonrevs
