but more interesting part : there is an early check in counter for various skyteam airlines opening at 1PM. So you can eartly check in and drop off.
Aha, so you had checked one of your bags on AA, so therefore had to go airside. Yes, I would choose an AF lounge over Delta by a million miles. US carrier lounges have improved from being horrific to mediocre.
That is a nice option by Skyteam.
