LET'S FLY TO DUBAI
Back in late 2021, my friend and fellow Flight-Report contributor, MichelG told me he found a great deal to go to Dubai for 990€ in Business ex - CDG. I couldn't resist and decided to join him on this trip.
I added connecting flights to CDG from BSL and as the return was to ZRH, will simply drop the last leg and get back home by train (1H30 from ZRH)
This was then the final routing :

After a quick bus ride, the lounge is almost steps from where we were dropped off:
After a warm welcome, I am allowed to enter the lounge:

I just stayed half an hour as my next flight was pretty close:
I arrived at the gate minutes before boarding:

Boarding started only 20 minutes before the flight due to a very light load: 5 J + 30Y :(

A pretty long taxi that afternoon:

Take off from RWY 18:

A wonderful place to be:
Another sweet snack was served, semolina cake with caramel, not bad.
In cruise:
Starting our descent:
Land in sight:
And landed!
The new Terminal B and D junction:
We docked at the far end of terminal D:
the walk to my hotel
Being docked at the far end of terminal D means walking back to terminal B to exit and then re-walk back along terminal D landside to terminal F where the Sheraton is. Quite a bit of a walk :)
Exiting the airside part:
Baggage hall: (no stop for me today!)
And walk back toward D and eventually F:
It's a rather long walk, specially when the airport is that empty :(
At home (at least for the night!)
sheraton cdg aeroport
The hotel is just above the train station:
The atrium is pretty nice:
I was upgraded to a junior suite, the hotel begins to show its age but I slept really well and enjoyed my night:
More pictures:
The bath room is really looking old :(
