Heh AAL, thanks for the information.
I will be using the JFK Sky Club lounge before departing to CDG. however, AF lounge denies access to PX flying lowly Economy. Delta (H)
In fact,AF admits only Business and Premium economy into their lounges. That arrivals loung in T2C does look inviting though.
As for Plan B, you are right I will be watching flight status and prepare to catch the AF Bus to town. Thanks
