Paris Airport


Just arrived at Charles de Gaul in Paris on BA319. We had to wait for about ten minutes in the aircraft because the operators could not get the airbridge to connect with the plane. In the end we had to leave the plane via a rickety staircase and walk across to the terminal. I don't have a particular problem with this, but wanted to post this to make another point.
South Africans are so critical about their own country. Not to long ago, I had a similar experience at OR Tambo (South Africa) where the airbridge could not connect to the plane and many people made comments about how we would not be able to host the 2010 soccer world cup... well, these things also happens in Paris who just hosted the 2007 rugby world cup quite successfully.
