Sadly customer service is sometimes more an alien concept im France, I know. We made that experience too as we looked for a hotel. After an odyssey we landed in a HOWLtel, but at least there dogs were allowed.

Some very unfriendly airport personnel in one terminal purposely direct my peeps to another terminal for their connecting flight (there was a very small window of opportunity too). <br />Once at the other terminal SOME VERY VERY NICE AND FRIENDLY CdG personnel apologized profusely telling my peeps they had been misdirected. They got my peeps on a express tram back to the terminal. They made their connection....thanks to these nice folks.<br />My peeps quickly learned it only takes one bad apple to spoil a barrel...<br />Hugs madi your bfffMy Mind's Eyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014097754516123017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5030432357826707438.post-1103098214016797322014-05-04T15:24:23.717+01:002014-05-04T15:24:23.717+01:00There is always one unfriendly encounter on a trip...There is always one unfriendly encounter on a trip.
