When was the last time you used NAIA? While the transfer shuttle leaves a lot to be desired, it does get you to your intended terminal without leaving the airport premises. The opening of the NAIA Expressway has alleviated much of the traffic headaches. And though I doubt the milestone and the "high-speed" part, there is this to look forward to... ...

Oh god that sounds horrible. Did you know beforehand that you needed to do an airport transfer? Did they put you on a bus or did they just tell you "Your flight is in Orly and you have 2 hours to get there. Good luck!"

Thankfully I was aware that that would be the case, and planned accordingly. However I do wonder whether some people are caught out by that.
The bus will, however, set you back 36 Euros and it takes about 1hr15. If you're interested in how it works, here's the website: http://www.lebusdirect.com/en/lines-and ... -line.html

I know it's not the best in the US, but it's certainly not the worst on the continent.
