Even though my flight from Raleigh to Newark yesterday evening took off an hour late, I had no problem making my connecting flight from Newark to Paris. As it turns out, Continental flies to terminal 1 at Charles de Gaulle airport. This is a perfectly circular ten-story building with seven satellites that are connected by underground moving sidewalks. Each satellite accommodates four gates. Terminal 1 opened in 1974, and it looked amazingly futuristic back then. Today, seeing it for the first time in many years, I couldn’t help but notice how old it seemed. A bus took me to terminal 2F from where I boarded my flight home. Wide-open spaces are the design concept of all parts of terminal 2. I wonder how well this will age... At 2 p.m., I landed in Nice.
