I disagree. I used both this week. I assumed CX was better and went there for a shower. The breakfast was really week. Scrambled eggs looked sad. Nothing much here. I moved to AA and was surprised at the variety there - crepes, quiche, spanish omlette, pastries, cakes, tarts, (better) scrambled eggs etc. I know CX has the noodle bar - but in my experience from last year - it's not as good as the one at LHR. I'm not sure what AA has during the day.

When does this vaunted AA breakfast end? Our outgoing flight is at noon, so I fear we're a little too late.
e: My wife is from Hong Kong, but I'm American. Can we lounge hop for my American breakfast and her noodles?

They're next to each other. My flight was around noon too, and AA was my second stop, with plenty of breakfast stuff left when I was there, likely around 10 or so.

The AA lounge has by far a better breakfast spread. I usually eat in the AA lounge and then move to the CX lounge for the peace and quiet, as it's usually empty while I'm waiting for AA45 to JFK.

I see in the Wiki that the OW lounges listed are not available for arrivals. In general, are lounges ever available for arrivals? We'll be arriving CDG after an 8+ hour flight, and we'd hoped to be able to freshen up a bit in a lounge before a full day of driving.

Even if you had arrivals access, you wouldn't be able to physically access the lounge assuming you are coming from a foreign country.

But those days are gone, and as has already been noted, you can't get there (to the clubs) from there (arriving AA flights).

Ever? Sure, at CDG, when US was in Terminal 1, there was a club you could use your Priority Pass to access after arriving from what have morphed into the AA PHL-CDG and CLT-CDG flights. Used to enjoy getting some coffee and a pain au chocolat, checking e-mail, and cadging a copy of L'Equipe to read on the RER going into town.
But those days are gone, and as has already been noted, you can't get there (to the clubs) from there (arriving AA flights).

Like PHX_Flyer, I also found the AA lounge to be a bit more welcoming than CX-- it was significantly more crowded and messy, but comfortable and the lounge staff were quite friendly. I'm looking forward to my next visit, and some more of that quiche.
