Can anyone give me an update on the lounge at MAN T3? Is it still the delightful 1903? I need something to cheer me up before getting the early FlyBe to CDG!
Edit: And the answer is....Yes, at least on Feb 26th. Nice scrambled eggs! |

Update on LYS lounge: they don't have the approval to start working on the new lounge (French Bureaucracy at its finest...), so they don't expect anything finished before June. No dates confirmed.

This has probably been already reported on these very pages but there's finally some good news for those like myself flying out of SCL quite often (and having to endure either the Pacific or, possibly even worse, the Sky Club) - Sky Team is to open its own branded lounge before the end of this year, however I did ask at the airport in Santiago on my way to Rome on Alitalia the other day and it seems that the lounge will be ready by September ^

G Skyteam website indeed confirms this but says that it will open "before the end of the year". It also mentions that Skyteam will have also a lounge in the new Istanbul airport (lounge will be twice larger than the IST one) and that all Skyteam airlines will transfer their operations to this new airport. So the current IST Skyteam lounge will close. https://www.skyteam.com/en/about/pre...-and-istanbul/ |

BTW, just flew into LAX on La Premiere today, great flight as always. My escort told me that AF J passengers in LAX will now use the QF J lounge as of *today*, Nov 1st. Obv can't verify as I wasn't traveling in J, but that should be a nice upgrade from the KE lounge. She also mentioned that AF will build their own lounge there in the next two years. |
new AF CDG 2E-L lounge
As promised, here are some pictures of the beautiful newly renovated CDG 2E-L lounge. It is only half-open at the moment. Full reopening is scheduled for June 2018.
It is really nice. AF has sone a great job there. The entrance has changed (but I don’t know if this will be permanent or if it is just a temporary entrance during the renovation work). When you pass security in L concourse, you have to go to the extreme right and you will see signs for the lounge. In the access coridor, it’s a huge TV wall displaying small bubbles mimicking a Champagne glass. Well done. Then you arrive in the main room. Similar design as in 2G or ORY hall 2 lounges. There is an open kitchen area which was not in function when I was there (it was outside meal times). Then you have corridors leading to : - the Clarins spa (bigger than before) where you can register for a massage via an I-pad - restrooms, showers - some quieter smaller rooms - a rest area similar as the one in the P lounge - and the private room for Ultimates ;) … with its private bar and newspaper/magazines selection ! One personal criticism : all the secondary area of the lounge are blind (no window). Again, big thumbs up to AF for making such a nice lounge ! ^ ^ ^ And now, the pictures The main room : https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4775/...2cfae678_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4798/...ce97dd58_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...75a2b347_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4784/...8011834c_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4782/...cf93dc09_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4774/...f6c28a0d_z.jpg The F&B/kitchen area https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...33c8e04e_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4793/...95c7ede6_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4790/...da1d91f1_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4797/...917c8051_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4783/...250376b7_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4800/...b917e611_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4774/...29b25ef5_z.jpg Toilets, showers, spa : https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4791/...a2ebdaa1_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4781/...9f3e5557_z.jpg Resting area : https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4786/...fefdd85e_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4786/...9587ef2f_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...861442e3_z.jpg Other lounge area : https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4790/...c7198912_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4773/...cb14bbd6_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4774/...f140c7ba_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4795/...6643fd8f_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4792/...e685c96a_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4794/...a3753f9c_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4795/...ce2b0279_z.jpg https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4779/...c7ec2752_z.jpg And the Ultimate private room : https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4775/...0ab18e55_z.jpg You may not believe me, but I forgot to take a picture inside.

Recents reports on ORD? Specifically, the food
My last few trips I have eaten before departure and skipped the meal Will the lounge do or should I hit a restaurant on the way to the lounge? Any recommendations? |
Departing from RUH recently, it seems AF does not use the Alfursan lounge anymore in RUH, but a 3rd party contract lounge. Tried to go to Alfursan lounge first but was refused entry. Did bring up SkyTeam rules and show my platinum card but lounge dragon could not care less as the other lounge name was printed on BP...
Anyways, here is what i have on the other lounge: Name of the lounge Wellcome Lounge (T2) Location On the right after security Food offer Decent hot options based on middle eastern cuisine. Didn't try the food as we ate at the hotel before leaving for the airport though. Drinks offer Soft drinks and hot drinks (self service) Services Wifi: Yes Showers: Yes (paid option) Toilets: Yes Quiet zone: Yes Business area: Yes Spa: Yes (paid option) TV area: Yes Passengers are called: Yes Information screen: Yes Newspapers: none visible Number of seats 80-90 Design Flashy design, blue and green. Lots of wood touches. Level of noise Open on terminal area so very very noisy, especially with constant passenger calls from outside the lounge. Other information Honestly not very clean. Cleaning service looks to be reduced in late evening and during the night when the Europe-bound longhauls depart and plates and glasses seem to pile up. One of three PriorityPass lounges. If you have a PriorityPass and want a calmer and cleaner lounge, go to the Plaza Premium lounge instead via the T2-T1 connector. Day beds and private rooms available for an extra fee (as with pretty much any service beyond food and drink in this lounge) |

Two questions, if I may, regarding lounge availability for GOLD passengers travelling on AF.
1. At TRN, is the AZ lounge, mentioned in the WiKi still available for AF GOLD passengers (specifically travelling TRN-CDG)? 2. At ORY unless I misunderstand, there is a AF lounge in Hall 3 for non-Schengen flights and one in Hall 2 for Schengen flights. Do all AF Schengen (including domestic flights --specifically interested in MPL) depart from Hall 2? I would expect not, so is there a lounge available for GOLDs travelling on flights departing from Hall 1? I realize that there is a so-called Premium Lounge, but it's unclear whether GOLDs have free access to this. Thanks in advance for any information on either of these. |

You will be fine to MPL as this is a Navette flight, so in hall 2. And the hall 2 lounge is nice :) |
According to Air France, the Piemonte Lounge is available at TRN.
