Hmm... I agree on your other point on wanting food (although again, I think that while AF food is absolutely not adequate, the recent experience you described above was most unusual and the 'standard' is definitely for sandwiches, salads, fruits, yoghurts, and cheese plates and cake plates to be there. Not nearly as good as BA but definitely more than crisps and ham as the usual offer) but not really with this one. I actually find the loo situation ok (for men and apparently for women) and the showers much better in the AF lounges than both BA (which are particularly ghastly with the most stupid 'wet room' concept ever) and LH. Shower packs are also much nicer, and that is true both at CDG and outstations. I also like the Clarins massages at CDG and find them much easier to get than the evasive elemis massages at T5, which are basically impossible to get unless you fly F. So that's one part of the argument on which I don't really agree.
