Paid access options for AF lounges are displayed after the lounge list.

EUROPE
France
  • CDG : AF lounges in
    • Terminal 2F (Schengen)
    • Terminal 2G (Schengen) : More info here.
    • Terminal 2E (non-Schengen) : one lounge in each concourse (K, L, M gates).Pictures of the renovated L lounge can be found here. La Première lounge is located in 2E-K and is subjected to special rules for access (P pax on AF-operating flights only, or capacity-controlled paid access for J pax flying on an AF-operating flight without P class).
    • Terminal 2C : arrival lounge, located landside at the extreme right of the terminal, after the last check-in counter, just before the corridor leading to 2A. This lounge has specific access rules and there is a specific thread about this lounge. This lounge is definitely closed. No arrival lounge facility is currently available for AF/Skyteam pax ending their journey in CDG (usual lounges are still available for transit pax).
Note that, among Skyteam partners :
- KL, AZ, UX depart from T2F and use AF lounges.
- ME, DL, VN, CZ, MU, RO, AM, KE, KQ depart from T2E and use AF lounges.
- SU and SV depart from T2C, where AF is not present anymore. So those airlines are using the contract lounges available in this terminal.
- OK departs from T2D, where AF is not present anymore. OK is using the contract lounge (SheltAir lounge) available in this terminal. (NO GUESTS ALLOWED FOR AF-TICKETED PAX on OK-SERVICE)

I asked before but in case things have changed: I will arrive on the AF JFK-ORY flight (in business, I also have Priority Pass) and my connection will leave five hours later from Hall 4, still with AF. Any chance of getting access to any lounge? It looks like no option is available... On top of this no hotel is really in walking distance, it will be hard to crash anywhere inside the usually overcrowded terminal. Any practical idea?

Wiki updated to reflect the fact that:
  • at FCO: AF flights (and at least the AZ flight to MXP) use the B gates; the (old) AZ lounge is located in the D gates area, which requires a 15mn walk each way
  • at MXP: there is no lounge access for Schengen flights, as Casa Alitalia is located in the non-Schengen departures area; Sale Monteverdi is a SEA-managed lounge that does not offer free access to Elite+ passengers, as I was told at check-in for my AZ flight to FCO

Just to make sure about MXP. I understand what you say here apply to AZ domestic flights ex-MXP for FB members. But what about AF pax (J, FB Elites+) in MXP. They have for sure access to a lounge, right ?

Sala Monteverdi is listed on KL.com so should apply to AF too at a guess... https://www.klm.com/travel/ar_en/pre..._locations.htm

The Hall 4 lounge only has a contract with Air Malta and Dragonpass at the moment. You should be able to buy lounge access to that lounge though. The Priority Pass lounge is in Hall 1 (but also accessible on AF tickets).

That is correct but the walk (even from the far end of pier B) is much less than 15 minutes, I'd say 5 to maximum 10 (if you walk really slow) more likely. That said, a new lounge (Casa Alitalia) is due to open this coming Monday at FCO but unfortunately it will be located in the new concourse (E), meaning non-Schengen only (which is rubbish because they should have prioritised the Schengen side, given that the current lounge is an absolute dump).

Well this is great news. I saw online that this is one of the salons Icare, but it is not in the PriorityPass network. In typical French fashion there is very little info online but I understand that entrance is 30 euros and must be booked online... except that no link will work. At least half of the frustration is gone, now I need to find out how to use this salon, and I am reluctant to book it in advance, just in case at the last minute we learn we are not leaving from Hall 4...

At least half of the frustration is gone, now I need to find out how to use this salon, and I am reluctant to book it in advance, just in case at the last minute we learn we are not leaving from Hall 4...
I am not under the impression that access must be purchased in avance, though i did see the possibility of purchasing access to Icare at Orly Sud a few months ago on Paris Aeroport's website. I find that with the Paris Aeroport app i have Hall information roughly 24h in avance in the app.

I guess this is the right thread to ask:

I'm considering trying AF for a trip in premium economy to Japan in september, and i can get either an 8 hr or a 4 hr connection at cdg.

I'm tempted at doing the 8hr, and go into town to have lunch, and see a bit of the city, but if i end up with the 4hr one, how much will entrance to the lounges in 2E, hall L for example cost? The website says between €25 - €45 for Europe but that's a wide gap.

It is probably closer to EUR 45 and they may not let paying guests in if the lo nge is crowded, although I think it is large enough.

EUR 45 was a bit on the steep side for lounge access. That makes it more tempting to take the 8hr and head into town. Thanks for info

CPH: AF will move back to CPH apartment once the refurbishing of the whole area is finished. I was happy to learn this, as I dont like the current lounge at all.

The lounge at CAN is now in the new T2 (since mid/late May?), there is a short review of the new T2 and it sounds good.

There is only one picture so I will try to get some more when I pass through early July.

Excellent. The former lounge was good too (so much better than the horrible lounges in PVG - this has always made me choose CZ and transit in CAN over MU/PVG).
We very much look forward for your lounge review

LYS update, and it's not pretty. According to the lounge dragon, Air France and Aéroport De Lyon are still discussing details. Autumn is still an estimation.

What will be first: a profitable Air France or the new LYS lounge?
