United Business Class - Chicago to Paris
Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme
Two hours after I landed in Paris, I made my way to the Park Hyatt. An hour long ride on the Roissy Bus deposited me only two blocks from the hotel, so I quickly learned the way around my home for the next two days.

I was not even inside the hotel, before I was welcomed by numerous staff members. While I ...

Twenty minites after we arrived at the gate, I received my gate-checked rollarboard, and made my way into the terminal. Fellow FlyerTalker, ...
