AA obviously doesn't have any connecting flights into and out of CDG???

You can obtain through status if you are connecting from OA to AA in CDG. So someone traveling NCE-CDG-DFW would be considered a through passenger, provided it is a true connection and not a stop over in CDG. Of course, they'd have to indicate this to the agents at check-in.

Good luck, as summer loads are high!

They would also have to show the agent their inbound boarding pass to the agent to prove they are connecting and not stoping over.

Are you sure of this.........the pax would have to hold a coupon NCE-CDG (OA) and a CDG-DFW coupon (AA).
As AA do not fly NCE-CDG, how come the ck-in agent in NCE can asign a seat and issue an AA boarding pass for the CDG-DFW flt??
Or am I missing something?????

DFW Sky's statement is correct. He did not say that the NCE agent could assign a seat or issue a BP.

Upon proof of immediate arrival to CDG (i.e., OAL boarding pass or even confirmed bus/train ticket), the AA/CDG agent can append a code to the check-in entry that identifies the traveler as a "non-local board". That code automatically bumps the traveler up the priority list ahead of local boards with the same priority/onload code. This applies to AA non-revs as well as OAL non-revs.
