Cathay Pacific Asia Miles - New CDG Lounge

New Lounge opening in Paris this August
A brand-new Cathay Pacific First and Business Class lounge at Charles de Gaulle Airport, Paris, will open in late August. Located on Level 2 of the new connecting building between Terminals 2A and 2C, our new lounge will provide a comfortable and relaxing environment with over 110 seats, almost tripling the size of the current lounge. Its design features a spectacular view of the runways and an abundance of natural light – echoing the new design concept of The Wing and The Cabin at Hong Kong International Airport. And if you have time for a bite, you can enjoy freshly prepared noodles from The Noodle Bar, as well as a wide variety of new European and Asian dishes..

Business and First together in the lounge? Or two separate lounges?

How many flight are coming out from CDG by CX per day anyway?

Double daily CDG-HKG

They might subcontract it out to other airlines during the day?

Who knows? But I am certain that, having a lounge in LHR or JFK may be better than CDG.

Well, for people in LHR or JFK, yes, but not for people in CDG. There is a CX lounge in LHR.

SYD is the one without a CX lounge that seems odd, but I guess as the QF lounge is so good, why compete...

Who knows? But I am certain that, having a lounge in LHR or JFK may be better than CDG.

As mentioned, there is already a lounge in LHR. AFAIK there is no space at JFK T7 for another lounge, with BA Terraces and UA RCC taking up all the lounge space.

It’s good news. Can’t wait to try it out on my next return.

Starting from September they’ll also introduce new hard-products on the route too (new J, Y+ and new Y). They’ll operate with 77H and 34B, no more 747. So all possible hard products combination on the route: F, Old and new J, Y+, Old and new Y.
They advertise the “Economie Premium” with flights from September on CX French website.
Unsurprisingly, they seem to sell J a bit more expensive if you want to select the 77H flights.
The 34B will sit in CDG for 13 hours before flying back, so CX obviously doesn’t need that frame much.
They’re finally getting it serious against AF (12 weekly for the winter ; 10-across in their 777 Y). And no more via-AMS second daily which always seemed to me like a temporary fix.

CX CDG lounge is currently subcontracted to Air Tahiti Nui (CDG-LAX-PPT) which departs just a bit earlier than CX260. Lucky for those passengers as well should they continue the contract.

My guess is that if you want to know how the CDG lounge will look....you can probably take pictures of the LHR lounge and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

So they retimed the return flight to hkg to the evening. This is good news

Double daily CDG-HKG

and yet in YYZ we are stuck with the crap of crap, the KLM lounge....

Because it is lower yield destination?

The same could be said about FRA. Pretty solid branding work.

Just like the BA Galleries it provides a really good identity.

Because it is lower yield destination?

really, you think so?

they have the same number of flights, actually, YYZ only went down to 10 from 14 flights a week, recently....is that what CDG was at? 14 also before May of this year

FRA with a CX lounge has what...7 flights a week....

I have no idea what CX is doing by not having its own lounge in YYZ...its a bloody joke...must be a space thing also...and cost...perhaps too many people with status....

CX does not even bother paying BA $$ at YYZ to have the lounge open in YYZ during the times when CX flies....they used to up until around Feb. 2008...shortly before BA renovated their lounge closer to the gates and since then, the BA lounge is only open during flights when BA flies...

Maybe space constraints at YyZ?

it probably is a space issue...in fact, i noticed on my last flight, even the plaza lounge, the pay in lounge, was not operating for the 01:30 departure out of YYZ...

It type of sucks having a 130am dep without a good lounge to use before

Sorry wrong place

The current lounge in CDG is truly awful, its tiny and doesnt even have a shower.They currently have 3 slots at CDG with 2 direct and 1 coming now via AMS. The latter is causing no end of trouble and expense to maintain the slot, so much so passengers are now dropping the AMS HKG flights due to severe delays and cancellations as the turn around at CDG is too tight. Management have been aware of this for a long time, yet the arrogance of CX management does not take into consideration the damage they are doing to the customer base who used AMS HKG.

CX only has 2 FLTs to CDG (used to be one non-stop and one with stop in AMS), and now both are non-stop.

I think that AF is down to 10 weekly in winter (starting end October). They have old F seats, awful angled lie-flat in J and 10 across in Y. No match to CX once they replace their mediocre non-reclining shell seats in Y. CX needed an evening flight (CX279) from CDG to compete with AF. A bit strange that CX278 from HKG is not a day flight like AF second flight, but that leaves time for maintenance in CDG.

CX only has 2 FLTs to CDG (used to be one non-stop and one with stop in AMS), and now both are non-stop.

This has only just stopped after more than 12 months of complaints from customers and even CX staff the management finally listened, but not after losing a lot of premium passengers from AMS. Thats from the horses mouth.

For AMS what other options r there? KL?

Air France and KLM both operate non-stop flights between AMS and CDG.

I think only KL ops this route and AF is just codeshare. Don't think these airlines offer flat beds in J class and KL does not offer F class

I was basing my comment on the Flightmapper data between CDG and AMS (http://info.flightmapper.net/airport/CDG/AMS). I could totally be wrong, but FM seems to think there are a handful of direct AF flights (and still 2 CX flights, 270 and 272).

Not sure to be honest who else flies to HKG from AMS, I know a number of airlines fly to BKK and carry a lot of onward passengers heading to other Asian destinations

THhs was operating to keep the slots open at CDG. But it caused so much trouble with delays and cancellations on the AMS HKG flights that they had to to stop the AMS CDG AMS sectors

Hopefully they will build out a big enough one and not get the comments the SFO lounge was getting as being too small.

CX did not have the traffic right between AMS and CDG when it operated this route, so the comparison seems moot. I believe correctioncx meant to say that nobody elses flies HKG-AMS direct besides CX & KL. CX270 & CX271 are now AMS-HKG-AMS only.

Any knowledge as to whether this might be available to premium pax as an arrivals lounge?

Since it is airside, I don't think it can possibly be an arrival lounge.

Yeah unfortunately CDG separates arrivals and departures so unless u r transmitting to another airline in the same terminal and hold the correct credentials eg DM I don't think you can use the lounge

And I doubt that the lounge will be open early morning anyway.

My guess is that if you want to know how the CDG lounge will look....you can probably take pictures of the LHR lounge and you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

I should eat my words. Apparently the lounge is going to be like The Cabin.

No need to chow down on your words so soon – the new CDG lounge could also look a bit like its Heathrow sibling. All we know is that the design of the new lounge will share what can be termed 'design DNA' with The Cabin, as this is something of a 'reference design' for all new CX lounges (eg SFO) – in areas like materials, lighting, furnishings, facilities, shaping different 'zones' etc. That doesn't mean it will look just like The Cabin.

Makes sense. I recognize that picture in the link as CX's new SFO lounge, which is done with the same vibe of The Cabin design. I wonder if AUSBT was specifically given that picture by CX, or if they just went fishing for stock photos and came up with that.

CX couldn't provide any pics of the new CDG lounge, so we chose this one of the SFO lounge (identified as same in the caption) as a proxy, seeing that all new CX lounges will draw design elements from the same foundation first seen in The Cabin.

interesting, thanks.

But still no showers at CDG for CX and OW members... :confused:

are you saying the new lounge will have no showers this is a joke if this is the case, I had 3 senior managers in my office last week and they assured me Paris, Milan, Frankfurt & London all have showers

On CX timetable's lounge list (paper print) it says LHR and FRA have showers, but not MXP nor the old CDG lounge. The news about the new CDG lounge doesn't seem to mention the existence of shower, either, although that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

CX uses BA's lounge in MXP, and the BA Lounge Database (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/15125661-post6.html) doesn't show that there's a shower, either.

I am sure it doesn't exist at CDG. No mention of it on the CX website. Highly frustrating for a supposed "hub" airport.

Why do you say CDG is a "hub"? There are not really any connecting flights except the TGV connections (do they still have "code shares" on them?).

I've been told it does have showers. Guess we will have to wait for first TR to know for sure

Why do you say CDG is a "hub"? There are not really any connecting flights except the TGV connections (do they still have "code shares" on them?).

Sorry I meant hub not for CX but for European aviation in general (2nd busiest in Europe) . Quite disapointed to see that OW doesn't have any lounge equipped with showers or even paid showers available airside.

Actually I stand corrected.

Just checked the CX website and they have updated to say that their new lounge has shower facilities. Good on them!

https://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_INTL/atairport/lounge?cityCode=PAR

There are not really any connecting flights except the TGV connections (do they still have "code shares" on them?).

They still exist.

I'm not sure if it's a photo of the actual lounge or just a promotional photo taken from elsewhere but there's an article about the new CX CDG lounge on this link (http://www.deplacementspros.com/Cathay-Pacific-ouvre-son-nouveau-salon-d-attente-a-Paris-CDG_a16747.html) (in French).

In addition to what has already been disclosed, the article mentions an area of 600 square meters, 120 seats, the entrance glass wall designed by Fabbian and lounge walls made of Bamboo. It also says it will be divided in 4 sections:
- Bathroom area: 4 showers
- Work area with 6 quiet desks; 2 PC, 2 Mac linked to a shared printer. wifi and many power plugs available all around the lounge.
- Dining area: Asian and Western buffet and Noodle Bar
- Rest area: consisting of 50+ seats offering a view of the runways, including 5 Solus chairs facing directly the large windows.

Here is the official photo from CX on their Facebook page:

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151125192873467&set=a.83997863466.83715.11279153466&type=1&theater

Guess I wasn't wrong about it looking like the LHR lounge + Solus chairs.

Yep, this is shaping up to be pretty standard fit-out for CX outstation lounges these days... a core set of materials, furniture, dining options etc.

Be interesting to see what the new Wing First will look like when it opens in 2013... right now the Wing Business is the one to beat, love the noodle bar & loft cafe areas!

More pics and details are now up at http://www.cathaypacific.com/cpa/en_AU/aboutus/pressroomdetails?refID=9911645941c69310VgnVCM62000 007d21c39____

Not sure why CX persists with those very uncomfortable looking and feeling arm chairs. They have no design in them, and look like two pieces of foam stuck into the armchair base.

Thanks for the link.

Looks like a significant improvement to me, as is the 773ER for CX 261/260 ^

+1 they act like they've reinvented the wheel. Except that they're not.

Any chance I'd have access to the lounge, arriving in RJ J and departing BA Y, all in Terminal 2A?

Any chance I'd have access to the lounge, arriving in RJ J and departing BA Y, all in Terminal 2A?

According to http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access/, yes, provided that the CX lounge is open at that time and does not have capacity issue.

Customers flying in Economy class on a domestic or intra-European segment to connect to or from a oneworld longhaul First or Business Class flight can also use the lounge applicable to the class in which they are travelling on the longhaul segment.


Since this is a very special case, I would suggest you to bring a copy of the above-mentioned page with you.

A few photos of the lounge are here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/52416073@N00/sets/72157631540156357/)

I was not aware that a new lounge was being built but headed over here anyway as it's closer to my BA gate than the Admirals Club. All I can say is WOW!

I've got a great view of SV, EK, AF, AA, VN, CX and BA aircraft from my Solus chair with a glass of champagne.

^^

Writing from the lounge. Truly nice, and even magnificent compared to the previous one. They even have a true noodle bar with selection of wonton, dan dan noodles and pho.
Sad there is no F class lounge, just biz.

Going to be in CDG next week. Just to confirm 100%, can BA Silver(OW Sapphire) flying economy on BA use this lounge and bring in one guest?

Absolutely - oneworld rules!

This lounge is really good and the catering quality is also good especially the French desserts. Made to order noodles and pho. Also some hot dishes

An excellent lounge. Don't forget the chicken curry, ala thai style, was great too!
