There’s no United Club at CDG. Calling a reservation/phone agent at United about a lounge in Paris promises to be a waste of time.
This looks up to date and is easy to use:

Hoping the closed lounge note is as outdated as the mask rule. Paris hotel thinks its open.
Anybody been through CDG Star Alliance Lounge since France lifted the mask rule? If yes-is it still in T1 and will I have to repeat passport/security before boarding in T 2A?
Otherwise I am stuck on one of those metal benches for 2 hours. (Air Canada ok but they dont open til 7:30 am).
FTO seems the only source for authentic info!!!
Many thanks.

Check-in counters will be open three (3) hours prior to earliest UA departure from that airport, if there is a locng break between departure, they may close again.
Bags can not be checked more than four (4) prior to your specific departure
UA use to post hours online but seems to be gone

CDG T1 is closed. UA uses T2 and eligible passengers use the Air Canada lounge.
T1 may reopen around the end of this year.
Even back in January I didn't wear a mask in the AC lounge. I was sitting at the bar drinking.

Why didn’t anybody else think of a hotel as being a reliable source as to whether or not an airport lounge is open? Ignore the lounge finder, the recent experience of someone, and the fact that T1 is closed. Just ask to be dropped off at T1 - the “hotel thinks it’s open”

1K / SA Gold here, travelling with wife with no status, in Premium Plus (Plus Points waitlisted and unlikely)... Can we both use the Gold Track thru security at CDG? Or will her lack of status prevent her from using Gold Track?

I don’t think it will be a problem, tell them you’re traveling together. I’ve traveled with a friend several times and they’ve let her come through with me (even though we have been on different UA flights).

Does anyone know how early the check in counters at CDG open? I have a 9:15AM flight that boards at 8:25AM, and with the strike, I'm worried about chaos at the airport. Will desks be open 3-4 hours in advance like in the US?
Also, I'm *G in J, so will have access to Gold Track. My partner has no status, but will be in J...does Premier Access get them access to Gold Track?
