Good question. Another concern might be will AF let me board in MEX with just a CDG destination on my AF ticket? Now, a MEX-CDG-IST ticket (for the same 230K miles) should work since I and almost anyone can enter Turkey. Plus if I did this, I wouldn't have any problem accessing and spend time in the LPL. Any issues with just leaving for my JL flight and no-showing CDG-IST (or cancelling if JL lets me board)? If JL doesn't let me board CDG-HND, I could just return and continue to IST later that evening.... and get back to LAX from IST... all within the 72 hours of my pre-trip US PCR test?

Transfer in TYO is only allowed at NRT. Terminal 3 at HND is currently setup to make everyone go through the special covid immigration process on arrival which involves walking around the whole terminal and transit is blocked so they won't let you board in CDG.
Furthermore I'm not sure if LAX is part of the flights that moved over to T2 but a terminal change would kill your plan either way. As other have mentioned, I recommend you take the AF flight to NRT and connect there.
Call NH and explain the situation to them and if you insist enough a member of staff will wait for you right off the bridge at NRT with your BP, if you're flying in First they'll make an extra effort.

AF upgrading CDG-ORD to 77W with La Première
Just came across this tonight on EF. Looks like La Premiere 77W service starts April 2nd. Bookable on AF.com. So far only 3x weekly is loaded. But this is a nice addition to AF long-haul P service.

A nice addition to something "Central", JFK is too short enjoy and LAX/SFO are inconvenient for us on the East Coast so hopefully one day I can try this out.

Incredible P flight CDG-SFO yesterday. Little bit of a surprise upon landing when the panel above my seat decided to crash down above me.
Nevertheless, I can’t say enough about the ground service at CDG. From the complimentary Hertz DriveU airport transfer to the check in and shortcuts through the back hallways to the car transfer to the plane. Absolutely blows away whatever LH/LX have to offer during the pandemic (maybe different in normal times with FCT in FRA). Hope AF is able to keep this up- already looking forward to my next flight.

Hey all - curious to hear of any updates/new La Premiere routes for coming months! Keen to get on another P flight with AF in the next 2-3 months, especially after watching some videos and photos from my last trip. If you like, have a look http://instagram.com/thedutchglobetrotter/ :-)
As theKrafty1tar said, it comes very close to the service I used to get as a HON. Very very nice... and can't wait to do again.
