If it helps we will be in J on Swiss.

Thanks

LX flights arrive at CDG1. BA flights depart from CDG 2A.

Once you have exited the baggage retrieval area (no immigration check, as you are coming from the Schengen zone, possible cursory customs check, as you are coming from outside the EU), you need to walk down to the automated shuttle CDGVAL (5mn) and take an 8mn ride to the center of CDG2. From that point, it is a 10mn walk to CDG 2A, where you will need to go through immigration to exit the Schengen zone.

Overall, it seems quite doable.
