I booked special assistance for arrival at CDG from Naples transferring from terminal F to Terminal E2 for onward destination Birmingham (UK). I travel all over European cities for European Commission business, and must say I found CDG most inflexible. We asked if we could either purchase something to eat on the way to our Gate (K53) and were told that if we wanted to stop a few metres from the gate, the wheelchair would be removed and I would have to walk the remainder of the way to the gate !! We had to agree to be left at the Gate and my husband had to walk back to collect something to eat, the wheelchair was then brought back to K53 3 hours later. So I would have had nothing to eat nor access to toilet facilities for nearly 4 hours. Other airports are far more accommodating and this is not the first time I have had problems at CDG. I am, of course, aware of EC Laws
