I agree with Ed about both of those airports - Paris is bad, but our last
routing through there (on the way to Malaga, Spain last Fall) proved to b=
e
better than usual as they have taken down a lot of the people barriers
getting from one section of the airport to another - I just hate the bus
shuttle system for most flights. =0D
=0D
We arrived on day early on our last trip to Switzerland and it is amazing
what just one night will do to improve your attitude and how you can enjo=
y
the ride to your apartment without the eyelids needing to be propped up!
Happy traveling!=0D

Like Joan, I am a west coaster and almost always do my own flight
arrangements as I am an inveterate nut on wanting to know all flight
specifics months in advance. My European airport of choice is Amsterdam's
Schipol and thus I usually book KLM/Northwest from LAX. KLM's Cityhoppers=
go
to almost any destination you can imagine ion the continent. Schipol is a
very tourist friendly airport with lots of shops, internet 'cafe', good f=
ood
and an art gallery. Zurich is also very high on my list--when it is
possible to fly direct there (at a competitive price!) I probably would p=
ut
it first. Both feature great rail service. =0D
I heartily second Joan's advice for arriving a day or two?) earlier than
your scheduled departure for your Untour apartment. Take advantage of one=
of
Idyll's suggested hotels if you are new to an area so when you arrive at =
the
designated meeting spot you will feel 100% livelier than those who have=20
red-eyed' it over!=0D
I cannot think of an airport I dislike more than de Gaulle, though that b=
ias
is triggered by several horrid experiences with Air France's seeming
cavalier attitude toward its passengers.=0D
