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 Premičre 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.

I am flying DUS-CDG-OSL next month and I was wondering if it is possible to visit the 2G lounge on arrival to CDG? I understand that this lounge is better than the 2F lounge, which is where the OSL flight leaves from.

Thanks!

For the record, here is a picture of the King Amlet lounge in Billund airport, used by AF/KL (and many others as this is the only lounge). The lounge is currently under renovation leading the left part when entering the lounge closed, which reduces the capacity of about a third. Guest are invited to use the "Business area" instead so it is not really quiet anymore there.

Food selection looked pretty basic to me (a few danish pastries and salads) but I have only been to that lounge during the morning. Newspapers available but mainly in danish.

Lounge has a view on the tarmac but do not expect to see if your plane is boarding from there. But as you can see on the picture, information screens are available in the lounge.

I invited a friend at the 2G lounge 2 years ago, to come over and join me, while he was leaving to CPH from 2F. The lounge dragons insisted that he should use the 2F lounge instead, but since he was my guest, he was allowed in.

In any case, the food offer at 2G an 2F is exactly the same. The main difference is the layout, that feels less crowded, although both lounges are currently equally full of pax. I would advise you to attend the closest 2F lounge to your departure gate, and go downstairs : the area is calmer, the food offer is slighly more diverse, and there are less people.

Given that it is relatively easy to get into 2G departures from 2G arrivals and back out to 2G-2F transfer, you could try, although the rule is that you should use the lounge of your departure hall.
It might be possible as i believe having seen members on this forum visit 2E lounges on arrival before transferring to 2F but if your layover is not very long it might just be easier going straight to 2F which still is a decent lounge with the same offerings and tarmac views as 2G minus one or two hot food offerings.

Also, if you happen to be transiting during late morning/noon, expect the 2G lounge to be full anyway so 2F remains the best/easiest option.

This brand new lounge deserves a brand new review, right?

A Lounge Dragon pro-actively went towards me, as soon as I approached the Ultimate area. We had a chat about the lounge, and this one at LYS is to be of the same level as the AF lounges in BOD, MPL or ORY: regional lounges, not "business" lounges like in CDG.

Indeed. Great improvement. I just flew on AF009 and it is the 1st time I was trying the in-lounge dining and this is great (I usually fly on earlier flights from JFK, so never tried it before - this being said, I don't understand why AF is restricting this to AF011 and AF009). The service was very good by the contract staff in the lounge (I will forgive them for serving a huge amount of champagne in a wine glass ).
They should do that too for BOS, YUL and IAD flights (+ extend to all JFK flights). For IAD, the renovated lounge will have 2 floors, so may be that's what they're going to do ?

Unfortunately, there was no reserved space for Ulti during my visit...
I will develop the Ulti aspect of this new visit in JFK in the Ulti thread.

There was Champagne in 2F last Thursday, although that might have been a Valentine's thing (also got a chocolate heart in a folded paper "bag" on boarding in VIE)

Hey guys, so I traveled out of IAD on AF J class last month for which all pax were sent to EY lounge. Would a review of the lounge for AF pax be of any use to any of you? The AF lounge remains closed for at least another month so I wasn't sure if any of you guys would find use or not for a look at the lounge. Please let me know I'd be more than glad to provide an updated overview into the lounge! Cheers!

Also there is P to MIA only when the A380 is used.
I've seen it said that the VS lounge in SFO is available for AF P, but I also saw that the lounge doesn't open until 2PM, and (for my dates) the AF flight is 3:20PM. So that doesn't seem overly helpful. What am I missing?
