So, spoke to UA agent this morning about the January 9th T1 reopening and…
- lounge will actually still be PRE Security.
It will be 1 security for everyone but after the lounge.
She said that if everything looks very nice it is actually a lot of walking and definitely not an improvement.
UGH !

How long do people generally allow themselves to go from the lounge, through security and to their UA gate?

In the past, I would budget 20 mins from Star Alliance Lounge to UA gate.

One more update :
The new star alliance lounge is not finished and once opened it will be past security and passeport control.
But for an other 6 months it will still be before.
I was told the terminal is beautiful “but for how long ?”
International will be separated from EU LH.
There should be 15 lanes for security but it seems it will be at the top of the little tunnel so if it is crowded it may become rocky…

Iʻm flying LH tomorrow, but looks like they are in Satellite 6, so I spose I wonʻt be able to check out the new conjoined satellites. Will report on the rest of the refurbishments to le camembert! Iʻm so looking forward to getting back there after a few dep/arr into 2A/2E..

United has returned to terminal 1 - does anyone have an update on the status of the closed star alliance lounge? I’m assuming that if the lounge remains closed, there are no other alternatives at the moment, thanks

Checking for any updates on this? We have a ~5 hour TG to UA connection on Friday morning (day after tomorrow). The Paris Aéroport site seems to indicate that UA flights are now leaving from T1. And from the Star Alliance Lounge Finder, it appears that our best (only?) lounge option (2 1Ks in business class) is a LH Senator lounge in T1, which is prior to clearing security. Correct? It also shows a AC Maple Leaf Lounge, but in T2A. TG arrivals are in 2E. It's been a few years since we were at CDG, and the last time I connected there was probably 20 years ago on Air France. Thanks!

When are you flying? The Star Alliance situation at CDG is currently in flux as *A is moving back into T1, but not everyone is moving at the same time. In T2A, there is the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, and in T1, there are the Lufthansa business lounge and the Star Alliance Lounge, which may still be closed?

This website lists when airlines are moving back to Terminal 1: https://easycdg.com/terminal-1-paris...arlesdegaulle/
United moved back there on January 9.
Note that there is no Polaris lounge in CDG so you are stuck with any *A lounge you can find. Sounds like it's LH Business for the OP unless they have *G status. The *A lounge is still listed as closed on the *A website. I'll report back when I walk through on my return to see if it's possibly open now. Otherwise I'll expected to use the LH Senator lounge myself.
Thanks,
