Lounge Access at CDG Terminal 3?

I have flights to and from Paris Charles de Gaulle with AB/HG that seem to use Terminal 3. According to the OneWorld website, there is no OW lounge in this terminal. What lounge arrangements does Air Berlin or Niki have available for a non Topbonus OW Sapphire (if any)?

Cheers

AFAIK, there are no lounges of any type at Terminal 3. It is basically a giant box where passengers who have cleared security sit behind a glass partition. The last time I was there, about a year ago, out best bet was purchasing a small snack at the minimal shop before entering security.

A grim place, to be sure.

If you arrive early there are a few places one can spend time in the vicinity of the terminal (as far as I remember -- it was a few years since I had to do that). There should be 2-3 restaurants accessible from the RER station building (I think I was in one inside the Ibis hotel).

Some good suggestions. Although having to resort to paying to join the masses goes against the philosophy of having and using status........

No lounge.

Go to https://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access and type in CDG - you will see that there is no lounge access for AB/HG guests (as these airlines are not mentioned).

Thanks for confirming irishguy28, that's what I thought. I did look at the oneworld site, but just wanted to check with the experts here.

In the end I booked a ticket with Austrian instead of using Avios.
