Can't see a PP lounge in AF terminal in CDG, is it possible to access any PP lounge there during a stopover without having to pass through security again for second leg?

Hi, I don't think there is a United Club in CDG, is there?
Hope you managed to find something good.

Plan to travel YUL-CDG and then return CDG-YUL on Air Canada. We will have only carry-on luggage.

I have the AAdvantage Citi Executive Card and would like to be able to use the AA Admirals Club both on arrival and departure.

From my online search, it looks like Air Canada arrives and departs from CDG Terminal 2A, and the Admirals Club is located inside security in the connector building between 2A and 2C.

The Admirals Club website says, "International arriving passengers must have a valid, same-day ticket for departure permitting access through Security."

Question: Will I be able to access the Club immediately on arrival (i.e., remaining airside), or will I be forced outside security to clear immigration and customs, and then not be able to get airside past security and back into the Club?

Thanks.

Flying out of NYC to MCO in Feb with wife adn 2.5 and 5 year old daughters. Currently going out og JFK on AA, but I see LGA has opened. Is it worth eating the $22 in taxes to switch to LGA so I can use the centurion lounge? I don't have AA status or executive AA card (only have platinum AA card) so I don't think we can get into the AA lounge on that criteria.

Centurion at LGA is always soo filled. What time is your flight? That could make a big difference. In general nothing specific for kids there but obv decent bar and snacks.

That shouldnt be too crazy at Centurion. If you have zero lounge access at JFK, Id go with LGA.

Can I lend my Priority Pass to a friend? Do they check names? Any risk involved?
