Air France Reopens Lounge in Terminal 2E at Paris (CDG)
Air France has reopened a massive lounge at the Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). The upgraded lounge is located in Terminal 2E - Concourse K and spans three floors totaling 30,100 square feet (2,800 m²) with a capacity for 638 travelers. The lounge is open daily from 05:30 to 23:30 (11:30 pm).
The lounge has different dining areas, offering customers a refined French dining experience in an elegant setting. The dining options change throughout the day, offering hot and cold, sweet and savory dishes, and vegetarian options.
The updated travel lounge stretches across three levels and is designed using the airlines' colors, including blue and white, with subtle hints of red. The modern design is best described as both "chic and refined."
The new top level of the lounge features a named area called the "petit salon" that is ideal for rest and productivity. This area is great to relax or unwind before a flight. There is also a new coworking area with a conference room for business travelers.
As featured in other Air France lounges, an exclusive section within the lounge is dedicated to Flying Blue Ultimate members. This area features upscale dining with full table service and panoramic views of the runway. The chef-created and rotating menu showcases fine French cuisine and can be paired with fine French wine. The lounge also features a relaxation area, with loungers that deliver "bed-like comfort." The lounge has a mini spa stocked with Clarins French cosmetics for those seeking a little pampering, such as facials and other facial treatments.
The entrance to the lounge is equipped with automated kiosks for access. Other amenities include high-speed Wi-Fi and USB plugs throughout the lounge and seating areas. There are also showers and restrooms. Digital press is also available on the Air France Press App. Customers can also read the EnVols magazine, available once inside the lounge.
