9 hassles you won't have when going to the airport.

When you go on vacation, you have so much to plan for that we often forget to think about the essentials.

How to get to the airport easily and cheaply?

Here are the 9 problems that we have all experienced one day or another when going to the airport and that we hope to avoid in the future!

1. When you have to run in the metro with your suitcases

Unless you have this suitcase-scooter, running through the corridors of the metro with your luggage is a hassle that we would do well. Between the turnstiles not at all designed to pass them with your suitcases, the stairs, the endless tunnels and the crowded trains with other passengers pushing you around because your suitcase takes up too much space, lugging around your luggage in the metro is often a real hassle.

2. When the RER stops between 2 stations

Sometimes for just a few minutes, sometimes for much longer... It's hard to predict the duration of your journey in these conditions in advance to arrive at the airport on time. In the photo, these people have really finished their journey to Roissy airport on foot. As you can see, they are not smiling...

3. When the RER is on strike

A beautiful day of strike in the RER B as there are far too many each year...

4. When public transport is crowded

Apart from trying to cross the entire RER B line alone, few people take public transport for pleasure. It is not the users of line 13 who will contradict me.

5. When you can't find a taxi near your house

Hoping that you will find a taxi faster than them, otherwise you risk missing your flight...

6. When you come across a taxi driver who does not take the right path

The vast majority of taxis are honest and know the Paris-Orly or Paris-Roissy route perfectly, but we have to admit that we have all come across a driver who did not know the way or wanted to show us around the country in order to mount the meter...

7. When it's too expensive

Between traffic jams, slowdowns, works, alternative routes, the price of the race is never easy to predict.

8. When you have to pay extra baggage

The icing on the cake. If it is legal and we should provide for it in the transport budget, we always forget it (me first). In the end, it's a few extra euros that we would have done well without.

9. When you have to wait 2 hours at the airport exit

You come back from vacation, you are not the only one. There are better ways to end your vacation than standing in line at the airport.
