Hello All,

I am going to be traveling to Paris next month, arriving at CDG at 8:30 a.m. and am considering using a United Club pass on arrival. However, I'm unfamiliar with the airport (and overseas procedures in general): since the Club is on the airside and since I will have checked luggage, is it possible to retrieve my luggage and access the lounge before going through customs or am I forced out to the landside immediately?

Thanks!
