I write Cranky Flier, an airline industry site + run Cranky Concierge travel assistance + co-author Cranky Network Weekly airline network analysis + co-host the Cranky Network Awards. Yep, I'm busy... and obviously, I'm an airline dork/#avgeek.
@crankyflier.comWhoops, fixed
@crankyflier.comJust circling back here, because I found this page. It definitely shows what will become the A gates by 2035 and then a new T2 with 3 concourses. So, T1 is R/S, T2 is T/U and I guess repurposes V from the old one? Still so weird.

@crankyflier.comNow on Cranky: American Will Again Make LAX Its Pacific Gateway
@crankyflier.comNow on Cranky: Cranky Weekly Review presented by Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport: Southwest Thinks Widebody, American Links the Stars
@crankyflier.comI don't think I'll take that bet... because you are probably completely right
@crankyflier.comIf there is a plan for Y and Z, why not just change BCD in the new plan to EFG? Oh nevermind. I agree, this won't be our problem once the robots take over
@crankyflier.comOk ok, we are getting somewhere. Though Ned found another map which shows P and V in current T3

That seems weird. Also, N seems weird. Maybe if the gates were Nord but they aren't. Maybe A will eventually knock down N so they just picked a random letter
@crankyflier.comThis tracks with what others have said. And those new letters are just all over the place. I want it to mean something... But we will never know
@crankyflier.comAre there letters in T1 and 3? Though you probably don't spend much time there!
@crankyflier.comAnd I find it really funny that KLM serves none of those since it uses 2F. But now it looks like K L M becomes D C B, for some reason in reverse order. But they don't use letters anywhere else do they?
@crankyflier.comYou'll love it
@crankyflier.comWhich doesn't match with the CDG published page, so ...
@crankyflier.comBut new terminal 2 will only have V gates!
@crankyflier.comMight be for the ramp side, but T1 will have R and S above the wing so who knows
@crankyflier.comAnnnnd now I'm confused again. What are these gate numbers? They don't use any letters in T1 or 3 today so what are those?
@crankyflier.comYes but what's really weird is that the map they give doesn't show those different gate areas. Combine that with the bad translation and it is confusing. I think I get it now, though how they chose the letters... I would love to know
@crankyflier.comYeah, agreed on numbering though the lettering choice for the gates seems very strange. And btw, the departure lounge name came from CDG translating, which is very odd
@crankyflier.comYep, and I find it to be a mess, but this is the new numbering system, not the actual airport experience
@crankyflier.comNo, this is useful! It shows the departure areas. This is comical
@crankyflier.comI can do that! But naturally the map they provide is completely useless. Vive la France!
