I appreciated the architecture of the terminal from the outside.. however from the check-in counter through security to the gate it wasn’t a streamlined journey at all..

Schedule Change SFO-CDG-ATH | 70 Minute Connection
Hola FT Collective - I could use some input on a schedule change notice I just got from UA. In August (I know far enough out that schedules might change again), I'm flying SFO-CDG (UA) arriving at 1045 and departing CDG-ATH (A3) at 1155. Seated up front on both flights. But, is that connection time doable (guessing I have to clear into Schengen at CDG - and my experience with any customs clearance at CDG has been miserable throughout the years). There is an A3 flight 6 hours later - but kind of ruins my dinner plans in Athens. Would you risk it or try and re-schedule (side note, I'm coming in from SLC (separate PNR) that morning and we all know SFO, so wouldn't want a Euro flight that leaves before noon-ish just to protect that connection). Appreciate any insight from CDG transit pros!

And yes, have schedule changes, MCT violations can arise and not get flagged
Best to call and ask if UA allows this but even if UA did it, the odds have to be poor of a successful connection

Has anyone had experience purchasing same day entrance into the MLL? Found some information online saying it is available at CDG, about 30€ if I recall. Hadn’t seen this noted before so I was a little surprised. I know I can bring one guest but I’ll be traveling with two friends and I’d be grateful to get some first hand experience confirmation ahead of time vs. going to the lounge, getting denied & doing a walk of shame to exit (it’s an “either we all go in or none of us” group). I’ve used this lounge twice since T1 has been closed. Both times I was “scrutinized” a bit more at the entrance than at other lounges so a little hesitant to upset the front desk!

You may purchase access directly at our Maple Leaf Lounge at Charles-de-Gaulle Airport in Paris for €42 per customer. Kindly present your confirmed, same-day departing ticket for a flight operated by Air Canada or Air Canada Rouge.
