Anyone knows what the minimum layover time is between two flights to use the lounge? I have a one hour layover in CDG, connecting from Latam to Europe. As they are into "early boarding" I'd be afraid that they drive me straight from the incoming plane to immigration / security and then on to the next plane. I could need a quick stop at the lounge (even if taking a shower seems a bit overambituous).

Will be there tomorrow and try to get one. Does it also take them hours to find it? Or do they have them ready in the lounge?

On a different note, I just read that if flying La Première from JFK, it now includes an access to VIPOne (a special lane/lounge that bypasses all the lines, which are usually a total nightmare at JFK T1 even with the La Premiere escort).
I can't find any data source besides this so take with a grain of salt:

But if it's true, that would be a GREAT addition to the current process, granted too many people don't take advantage of the paying option (at $35 it's a relative bargain and I will not hesitate to pay for that service moving forward).
AF uses that service since some time for its Premiere customers. Just beware that at certain times "the dog is out", which means that the special channel is closed because the sniffer dog is out going through the lines (going through the special channel would mean you'd avoid the dog).
