Air France is stepping up its lounge game in Paris and I’m impressed. New Air France Business Lounge Paris CDGAir France today unveiled its brand new lounge in Terminal 2F at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG), which is open to short and medium haul passengers as the lounge is located in the Schengen area. The new lounge is located between the two boarding areas in the terminal and is open daily from 5.30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Access is free for SkyTeam Business Class passengers and SkyTeam Elite Plus customers, and for passengers traveling in Economy Class, access can be purchased for 35 euros per person, subject to capacity restrictions. The new Air France Lounge on two levels is an incredible 3,000 square meters and offers space for 570 people. As described, the new lounge is “an invitation to celebrate the best of French travel” and offers “a real moment suspended in time”. This may sound confusing or worth striving for, but when I look at the pictures I understand where this is coming from. The lounge is breathtaking and almost reminds me of the TWA Hotel at JFK. Air France’s signature colors – blue, white and a touch of red – are highlighted throughout the lounge, along with Air France’s trademark symbol, a winged seahorse. Some of the features of the lounge are described:

It goes without saying that this isn’t Air France’s best lounge in Paris – that would be the spectacular La Premiere lounge, which I rate as the best lounge in the world – but that looks extraordinary for a short-haul passenger lounge. Can’t comment on the soft product of the lounge as I didn’t visit it. However, the “bones” and design of this lounge look incredible. The huge curved windows and beautiful interior design are unbeatable. In general, I was impressed with the way Air France-KLM opened and redesigned lounges. Air France has some not-so-good older lounges (like the ones in Boston, Chicago, Houston, etc.), but the ones that have been refreshed or newly opened all look great. Of the “big three” European mega-airlines, what impresses me most is what Air France-KLM is doing with its lounges today. KLM’s flagship lounge in Amsterdam is excellent, and the regional lounges in Amsterdam are solid too. I have also had good experiences with the other Air France lounges in Paris. Bottom lineAir France passengers traveling in Business Class on regional flights will be pampered thanks to the new Air France Lounge in Terminal 2F of Paris CDG. Physically the lounge looks great, with huge windows, lots of space, two levels and a very nice looking interior. In addition, I have found that the catering, which includes both food and drinks, is generally quite good in the Air France lounges. What do you think of Air France’s new lounge at CDG?
