Connecting at CDG with long gap between flights

I am likely to be flying overnight from JFK to CDG next month on AA, connecting on BA to LHR. There are around 7 hours between these two flights, which arrive and depart from CDG 2A.

There do not seem to be any Oneworld lounges open (although perhaps that might change?). It also appears I will not be able to make use of the airside Yotel in 2E, since the hotel website says that to gain access you need a boarding pass for a flight departing 2E.

Am I likely to have enough time to go landside, and get some rest for a few hours at an airport hotel? Or will immigration, check in etc, take so long that this would not be worthwhile?

Many thanks in advance for any advice.

You may want to ask your question at the Air France forum CDG FAQ sticky thread. You will get your answers much faster there.

You can also try AA and BA forums too since you are flying BA.

Many thanks, I didn't think of the Air France forum, will have a look there and see if I can find the answers I'm looking for.

I was in 2A Tuesday and 7 hours is plenty of time to go to an airport hotel.
