The question is any idea which piers we will arrive and depart from (normally) and will 1h35 be enough time to transfer, passport control and pop into the lounge?

AF (ticket) will not allow a switch onto an earlier flight from CDG although we have been re-routed by AF from the direct AF CDG to Montreal service and now via AMS on KLM. This is in January so I am hoping by then things will have calmed down. Sorry if it is a silly question, just worried as only one service a day to YYZ.
Well, your CDG/AMS KL flight will arrive at gates B/C/D and your AMS/YYZ flight will depart at gates D/E/F/G. Lounge 52 is in between E and F gates, so depending on if your flight is on time and if there's queues at passport control, you might still have time to jump in and out of the lounge (quite literally) or head straight to your gate.

1h35 isn't that much, but it's not like you'll have to decide today you will visit the lounge or not, and it's sufficient to transfer.
