First time arriving into CDG and really need some help as I land at 5.50am and need to shower up, be fresh and ready for an 9am meeting (just in CDG for the day so no hotel option either).
sorry, not true. AA does
not have an arrivals lounge at CDG.
once you leave the jet bridge in 2A (or come up the stairs from the bus that shuttles pax from plane to terminal 2A) you will go directly to immigration, claim bags, and then go through some minimal amount of customs (often nothing). you are then landside, outside security.
to get to AA or CX's lounge you would have to clear security at 2A, probably not what you had in mind judging by your post. besides AA's AC at CDG has no showers IIRC.
sorry, hope you find an alternative besides paying for a hotel room at CDG!
