Paris (CDG) is currently having a much tougher time than Milan. Since the full Entry/Exit System (EES) rollout on April 10, 2026, Paris-Charles de Gaulle has consistently been labeled one of the most "clogged" hubs in Europe. 2 2 Mei 2026
While Milan Malpensa has seen spikes reaching three hours, the situation in Paris is more complicated due to a perfect storm of factors:
Paris vs. Milan: Why CDG is Struggling
Infrastructure Design: Many of the manual lanes at CDG were simply not built to accommodate the volume of biometric kiosks needed. This has created physical bottlenecks where travelers are funneled into tight spaces.
Staffing & Strikes: France is currently facing additional pressure from localized strikes.
In fact, just today (May 2, 2026), CDG is operating on a reduced schedule with a 15% flight cut due to a half-day strike by ground staff and unions. This creates a "ripple effect" that makes border queues even less predictable. Volume: Paris handles a much higher volume of non-EU "first-time registrants" (travelers who haven't had their biometrics taken yet), which is the primary cause of the EES slowdown.
The Malpensa "Safety"
You are correct that the temporary suspension protocol in Italy is specifically designed to keep things moving.
Italy's Stance: The Italian Ministry is being very proactive about the "60-minute rule." If the queue hits that mark, they are more likely to trigger the manual override compared to French authorities, who have been more rigid about collecting biometrics even as queues grow.
Current Status: Reports from travelers at Malpensa this week suggest that while it’s busy, the 450 extra officers are making a visible difference. Most queues are hovering between 1.5 to 2.5 hours—not ideal, but certainly better than the 4-hour "nightmare" scenarios being reported in Paris and Madrid.
Quick Summary: You’re safer in Milan than you would be in Paris right now. The chance of you being stuck for more than 4 hours is very low because the Italian police are prioritizing "flow" over "data" when it gets that bad.

solide = kuat / kokoh / solid
Jadi “lien solide” biasanya dipakai untuk menggambarkan:
hubungan keluarga yang kuat
persahabatan yang erat
koneksi emosional yang kuat
Contoh penggunaan:

🏰 Asal Viking → “Norman” = Northmen (orang Viking yang menetap di sana).

Kata “connoisseur” berasal dari bahasa Prancis 🇫🇷
Asalnya dari:
connaître = mengetahui / mengenal
Bentuk orangnya: connaisseur / connaisseuse
Kata ini kemudian dipinjam ke bahasa Inggris tanpa banyak perubahan ejaan, tapi pengucapannya tetap bernuansa Prancis.
Urutannya singkat:
Latin → Prancis → Inggris
Latin: cognoscere (mengetahui)
Prancis: connaître → connaisseur
Inggris: connoisseur
Makanya kesannya elegan, intelektual, dan high taste — cocok untuk seni, kuliner, wine, budaya, dan lifestyle.
Connoisseur artinya penikmat atau ahli yang punya selera tinggi dan pengetahuan mendalam, biasanya tentang seni, makanan, minuman, musik, fashion, atau budaya.
Contoh penggunaan:
She’s a connoisseur of fine art.
→ Dia benar-benar paham dan punya selera tinggi soal seni.A coffee connoisseur can tell beans just by aroma.
→ Penikmat kopi sejati bisa mengenali biji kopi dari aromanya saja.
Nuansanya:
Lebih elegan dan kelas atas dibanding “expert”
Menunjukkan taste + experience, bukan sekadar teori
Kalau dikaitkan dengan kamu yang suka review tempat, restoran, dan budaya:
👉 kamu bisa pakai identitas “a connoisseur of places & experiences” — terdengar classy, mature, dan very international ✨
