Just saw this thread in the DL forum :
Beijing / PEK SkyTeam lounge closed
it seems that the Skyteam lounge in PEK is closed since 12/2018 for renovations. Weird, as it is a very recent lounge. Pax are directed to the T2 BGS lounge.

In the Etihad lounge at IAD waiting on AF 55 now. We arrived before the AF check-in counters were open, but had our electronic boarding passes on our phones, so we were able to get airside and make our way to the lounge. The staff were a bit surprised to see us so early (right before 2 pm for a 6:30 pm flight), but let us in without any special invitation. They took our names, and mentioned that they hadn't received the passenger list yet from AF.
The lounge is nice, and the buffet had some good-quality hot dishes for dinner. I had lamb curry over rice, and there was also a chicken and a pasta dish. After the main course, I sampled some of the cheese and desserts offered as well. Quite tasty!
I'd argue that it's a step above the AF lounge at IAD even without the table service that Etihad used to provide.

Anyone has experience with the showers in the 2G lounge? The Wiki says they have showers (didn't expect that, but great surprise).
What do they provide? Generally available? Anything else I'd need to know?

I used it once. I had no wait but I don’t remember if it was a busy time or not (I guess it wasn’t). Very good facility. They provide you with everything you need.

Rat in AF lounge Bangkok
I was only one of two guests late at night (the other guest was on the other side of the lounge and sleeping). The massive rat scurried past me towards my baggage. I was standing, working on my laptop next to the food counter. My shock at the scurry thing meant that I was too late to react to get a video, but believe me, it was a massive rat. I tried to follow it and it went past the food counters towards the back of the lounge under chairs etcs when it disappeared out of sight. I informed the front desk lady who came with me to try and locate it but couldn't. She mentioned that she will inform housekeeping and left it at that. I left the lounge straight after, regretting the few bites I had taken earlier.
Happened on the night of 27/28 Apr, around 3:30 AM.
Posted without malice towards Air France or anyone else, but so that others are aware of hygiene issues at this lounge.

AFKLM Lounge Berlin
EDIT: I though that this lounge didn't have any review, however the wiki already has a report for this one. Nothing changed since the last review.

There is a central area with stairs and an elevator near the check-in A15. Go to the 3rd floor.

Food offer
At lunch, I had meatballs, potatoes, bretzels, many small entries. I saw the same machine than at the STR lounge to keep the sausages warm, so I guess they change the offer each time.
Cakes, biscuits, yogurts available.
Note: the hot buffet is behind the newspapers, left to the entrance.

A lot of beers and cola in the fridge, also sodas, wine, champagne, and spirits available. You even have syrups, and enough stuff to do some cocktails.

Move of AF ops to Orly 3 / New Lounge
Hello all,
While hunting for info on Orly 3 i came over a snippet on AF's lounge section on their website.
With the move of non-Navette flights and long hauls to Orly 3, AF are working on a new lounge for Orly 3 pax. It is unclear whether only long-haul pax or everyone will be able to access eventually due to how Orly 3 is designed with passport control located after security controls, with most shops and resturants located also before passport control and after security control. This lounge is slated to open in Q4.
The current Orly 2/Hall 3 lounge will close on May 13th, coinciding with the move of the long-haul ops to Orly 3. From May 14th-16th, long-haul pax may ask for a food voucher at SP check-in. On May 17th, a temporary lounge will open near gate E04/D11 (located in the "mixed zone" where gates can convert from Schengen to Non-Schengen on demand.) No guests will be admitted into the temporary lounge. Due to the location of the temporary lounge, it could be reasonable to think the lounge will be accessible to Schengen pax if a long-haul flight is not leaving at the same time, or if a Schengen flight is assigned to gate D11-D15.
Have updated the wiki with this info as well.
