A day of travelling and hanging around airports. Fortunately everything went smoothly, although both my flights were late by around half an hour, there was plenty of slack in the schedule to accommodate the delays. I flew with Air France from London Heathrow to Paris Charles de Gaulle on AF1281, an A321, then, after meeting up with Peter, on to Beijing on AF126, a Boeing 777-300. In view of the unbelievably complicated security farce at CDG, perhaps the airport would be better named after Charles’ ancestor Asterix the Gaul.
