Delta Has Me Feeling a Little Paranoid! - Friday, 8 November

When we landed at Charles de Gaulle this morning, the crew announced that we were parking at a satellite location and passengers would have to descend to the tarmac via stairs and then take a bus to Terminal 2.  Furthermore, passengers were advised to be very careful on the stairs because the first one was very steep.

Whew, I thought!  Sure glad that requested wheelchair service from the plane through the terminal!

The view from my
window in the
"human cargo transport!"  

But it happened again.  When I gave the CDG "accessibility services agent" my name for admission to the cool cargo-like box that would lower us handicapped folks from the plane down to the tarmac, he said "What?  I don't have you on my list."  (This happened a year+ ago, to an even more dramatic extent.  See the story here:  https://mariellen-musing.blogspot.com/2023/07/going-and-coming-thursday-20-july.html ).  Happily, this time a Delta employee was able to send a text to someone and get it straightened out, so I didn't have to leave the other 14 people hanging around TOO long!  After being lowered down to the ground, we were loaded onto a couple small shuttles so didn't have to deal with the hoards on big buses (the flight was packed to the gills).

CDG is to be commended for their cool system for providing safe access for those of us with mobility issues.  But gosh, I'm getting a little paranoid that Delta keeps forgetting me!

And remember - just because you're paranoid, it does not mean that they are NOT out to get you!
