Any news about reopening of IAD lounge ? |
Future single lounge in CDG 2F
Good news : the construction of the future CDG 2F lounge has started :). The work area is well visible from the 2 boarding piers. As a reminder, this new lounge will replace the 2 existing ones and will be located between the 2 piers. The entrance will be in the walkway between 2F1 and 2F2 just across the main security checkpoint. It will propose a higher capacity than the sum of the 2 current lounges and it will be on 2 floors. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...fde5c12e1.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...4e9116bcf.jpeg |
Thanks for the helpful information.
I'll probably be using this lounge in July for a KLM flight out. Do you know if there is much of a wait for a shower? |

For your question about the wait for a shower, I am afraid it’s hard to answer this question as it depends on so many factors we don’t know (what time of the day you expect to be there, week day or weekend, etc) or we don’t control (booking level of flights on this particular day). What I can tell you is that shower capacity is limited in those lounges. |
Phone Glitch
Sorry, i had a phone glitch.
i was referring to the Al Dhabi Lounge in Abu Dhabi Airport, for the shower question. My flight out is with KLM at 2am in the morning. I'll probably check in as soon as I can in the early part of the evening. Sorry for the confusion. |

I actually accessed the Aspire Plus Lounge first. The lounge dragon asked for my pass, then for my FB card, finally told me to go to the regular Aspire lounge.
The Aspire Plus lounge might be for Business travelers, while I was in Y, as it seems way smaller. |
Quick question: I am stuck overnight at CDG because of a missed connection. I have chosen to fly in the afternoon instead of the first morning flight. Flight is in 2F but since I have 10h to kill, would it be possible to check the lounge in 2E? Best one is 2E-L right? Thanks! |

That’s what I thought, thanks Goldorak! |

No, this is non-Schengen. On a related note, since 2G is also Schengen, would it be possible to go from 2F to 2G (on the orange shuttle) to use the lounge there? Or do they again check boarding passes and prevent access unless you are leaving from those gates? |

Does that mean that you'd be turned away trying to get into 2E without a boarding pass departing to a non-Schengen country? Or just that you'd have to go through passport control formalities to leave the Schengen area?
The hardest spot to pass through would be IMO the security checkpoint, as there will be an automatic check of your boarding pass that would trigger a red message and that the security agent would have to overpass... Passport check would be easier especially if you can access through PARAFE. For lounge, I would say it depends on the dragon... |

I have not experienced this myself, but based on reports I have read this and there I have the feeling that there is no clear rule. It seems to be based on agents' mood and what could work one day at one specific location could not work another day.
