So am I on 15 June. Do you have a sense of how early you will arrive at CDG given all the EES issues? I am trying to positive about the trip going ahead so starting the micro planning now.
20th June for us. We are staying at CDG with flight departing at 10ish. I ran it through ChatGPT. The hotel booking is the one I made with booking.com and which got hacked so that's another story. Here's what chat said - it micromanages.

To keep this on topic - Booking.com and its reaction to the hackers and consequences.
We arrive into Paris the morning before so all the EES stuff there with a large gap. Well, that's the plan. TK so should be fine. Gulp.
