Will be arriving from Nice via Zurich on June 17th Flight Swiss 656 landing @ CDG2B 5.55 PM. Planning to be at the Paris air show on June 18/19, leaving on the 20th back to ZRH (stopover).
From my experience, I find the first two PRO days are best as less crowded and more goodies available, people in the stands much less stressed out which makes for a more friendly/nicer atmosphere.
For those going to the flight demos, the public days are much better as there is a lot more of that than on the PRO days.

Does anyone want to meet up on Saturday evening at downtown Paris? A friend and me have press passes and a boatload of invitations from many different exhibitors so I think that we won't have time for a meeting during the show on Sunday, thus Saturday would be the best time for an A.net meeting.
Cool, I'm looking forward! Let's agree on a meeting point next week, then we can also exchange our mobile phone numbers.
Quoting Speedbirdie (Reply 15): Where is everyone staying the night? I havn't looked for hotels yet.
A friend and me stay at the Suitehotel CDG Paris Nord 2. We paid 99 EUR for a double room which is ok in my opinion. They do of course offer a free airport shuttle.
