I'm travelling from Auckland NZ for Zurich, Lucca, Barcelona and hopefully Amsterdam. I'm used to it having lived out on various islands in the Pacific for years. I once travelled from an Island called Tinian to London just to see Ronnie's two shows with Stomp. Its great to see the guys play and hang around with all the other crazy people that do the tours regularly.

How could a flight from England to Paris take five hours, or even to the Paris hotel? Guess I am not understanding something?

By the time you get to the airport an hour before take off and go through security, then get off the plane in France pick up luggage get a taxi to the hotel, its 5 hours door to door. Probably longer.

I don't know where your hotel is but if you are comfortable with Paris transportation and don't have a ton of luggages, depends on your arrival time, you should consider taking the RER and the subway. Taxi or bus shuttle from CDG can be a pain in the ass during traffic jam hours.

If traveling from London to Paris then Eurostar is the much easier option.
I usually take the Eurostar but last time I flew and then got a cab into the city much nicer than the RER and if there are a few of you then works out around the same cost as the RER anyway.

The RER is also a pain whenever I have taken it from the airport to the city or vice versa it stops halfway and waits for around 20 minutes before it moves again.If traveling from London to Paris then Eurostar is the much easier option.

A cab from CDG airport into the city will cost €50 but make sure you agree the fixed price first don't do it on the meter in case you hit traffic.

Good thinking , thanks Nate, i have a habit of being ripped off so that's cool advice.
I'm like a fish out of water in cities like that, bit of a country bumpkin down here in Cornwall
But for the Stones its usually worth the effort, just the vibe before and after the show does it for me.

Love Cornwall used to go to Padstow as a kid before Rick Stein turned it into Chelsea on sea.Have not been down there for years and was actually hoping to go next week for a holiday with my parents but I can't make it hope to get down there in the spring next year.
