Hi Jeff!

We do get a discount at the exchange offices in the airport however I normally take out a lil' bit of cash at an ATM in paris and then use my card for most everything I shop.... even with the credit cards extra procent for usage abroad you still get a better rate than at an exchange office.

Good luck on your flights to CDG, may the stand-by Gods be with you! I just looked at our flight 914 IAD to CDG...it is getting filled up as well.
Do you get a zed fare on AF??

Enjoy Paris!
