don't worry, you can have good cold food in L. As you have a long layover, do not forget to sign-up for a massage at the Clarins spa as soon as you arrive in the lounge.

I got my hands on this little paper from a FA recently. I thought it would answer a lot of the questions asked on this forum so here it is!
The schedule time is quite generous as for example I recently managed 2E L -> 2F in 8 mins but that was the ideal configuration with no queues and SkyPriority.
I will try to get a better scan someday when I will pause for a bit the flying!

Transfer Time for Lounge?
I am flying AF from the U.S. in J, landing in 2E and then connecting onto a non-schengen flight out of 2E as well with a 2.5 hour layover.
How long will it take me to transfer, does SkyPriority help in anyway? I do not have to go through passport control, correct? And will I have time to go to the lounge in my respective pier?

There are special SkyPriority lanes for transfer desks and security IIRC. As such, it should leave time for the lounge.

I wonder why a transfer from 2G to 2E M gates (45 mins) takes significantly longer than 2E K or L gates (35 mins). Isn't the 2E M terminal closest to 2G? Furthermore, why is the transfer in the other direction faster, i.e., from 2EM to 2G is supposedly only 35 mins?

I believe this is a mistake in AF doc because there is a bus line going straight from 2G to 2E/M. I did this connection once in something like 15 min.

Priority Line for Passport Control questions
I have a question on how to use the passport control priority line while transiting Terminals 2F to 2E in CDG.
Do I ask for an Access No 1 pass as the check-in counter (in BCN), or do I just show a BP with SkyPriority printed on to get into the Access No 1 line? I usually only use OLCI because I do not have luggage to check. Not sure if that is a factor.
Here are my travel details:
Tickets purchased from DL in J.
Traveling on AF metal: BCN-CDG, CDG-DTW.
Layover is 1hr 15mins.
Looks like I will be going from 2F to 2E. Some great videos on YouTube, so I can see there are Passport Control Access No 1 lines at both 2E/K and 2E/L,M. This is my first time connecting in CDG.
