This thread was aimed primarily at AF-operated destinations, but this is always useful and interesting, so thank you for taking the time to post this. Much appreciated ^ :)

Thanks - is there a place on the forum where it should be? The Skyteam forum doesn't have a similar wiki, still, I think it could make sense to have Skyteam lounges details somewhere - as travelers may need the information (and that the actual information is often different than the one listed on the Skyteam website in non-AF/KL airports (ADD for instance :) )

Here is fine, some wiki entries are for destinations that only KLM serves. KQ is also using Flying Blue, and some AF/KL flights may have KQ connections, so your review is still relevant. :)

VNO Business Lounge
 

Name of the lounge : Business Lounge

Location :

• After security take either the elevator or take a left and take the stairs to the second floor.

Agreed. Here is fine :)

Hi,

I am DM gold, connecting from BOS, to ZRH. I have a couple of questions:
1. Does the lounge in 2F have showers, and rest areas? if not, having a 4.5 hr layover, what is the best option for a shower in the airport, without having to go through immigration and hire a room at the Ibis at Roissypole?
2. as a sky team elite+, I understand I can bring in a guest. However, I have 2 children (teenagers, one who is a DM silver], what are the chances of the lounge dragon giving courtesy access to my 2nd child? Would I be able to pay for access?

thanks

you will have to go through immigration (once). Your choice about lounge or shower will not change this. 2F lounges have showers but no rest areas. Your choices are :
- to go to 2F lounge (my reco)
- to go landside to the arrival lounge in 2C which has a lot of showers
- to go landside to one of the hotels proposing this service like Ibis. Frankly, 4.5 hrs is a bit tight
- to manage to go to one of the 2E lounges, especially L or M, which have showers and rest areas. Normally, this is not part of the regular pax flow but several people have reported here to be successful doing this.

With only 4.5 hrs, I would just go to 2F IMHO.
For your other question, you should be able to pay for the 3rd person.

Thanks very much Goldorak. By the way, I like your nickname, fond childhood memories.

anyone knows how much is the fee for guest? Can you pay with FB miles?
anyone had any luck getting a 3rd guest in without paying?

;)

you will find the info at the end of the wiki at the top of the thread

No way.

I guess it depends on the lounge and time of the day - happened to me at 2E in Dec. (group of 10, 4 Plat, 6 Explorer) - and a friend of mine, Silver, was able to get to the 2G for free late last year all by himself, by asking nicely (he is quite the sales rep though).

Never transited through CDG before so sorry in advanced for the rather basic question.

Am a DL Gold/STE+ on a AF-marketed TRN-CDG-LAX itinerary in PE. The booking page shows me as “FlyingBlue Gold.” TRN-CDG is on Hop! and CDG-LAX is on DL metal. I know the TRN-CDG Flight will arrive 2G and DL flights depart 2E-K. The layover is 3 hours 10 minutes.

I would like to visit the refurbished 2E-L lounge. Will I be allowed to do this?

Normally no, but several posters have reported here being able to do it. However, with 3 hrs of connection time and DL boarding ops starting ridiculously early, I would certainly not bother hopping on a different lounge than the one you are normally entitled to. And bad luck for you ;), DL is using K and M concourses but never the L one.

AF has opened its new non-Schengen lounge in ORY on 16 JAN 2020.
https://corporate.airfrance.com/en/p...e-paris-orly-3.

It is open from 7 am to 9 pm (5:30 pm on tuesday) and has 120 seats.

Yeah, I knew DL doesn't use L. Flightaware shows DL119 consistently departing from K. I'll gauge my stamina in trying on the day of travel. Thanks.
