af 008 cdg to nyc in la premiere
I took one week ago an af 008 cdg to nyc in la premiere
What an amazing ground service
and a very correct F product but nothing to write home about. The steward who took care of me was just perfect

You mean 300% ?
Did you pay the 300 EUR fee? how was the process? is it still 300 EUR for platinum members travelling J on a flight without F?
Hope you were not on an F fare on a flight without F.
I experienced it again yesterday connecting in CDG between 2 long-haul flights in J and it is such a great product ^^^

Yes, I was in J on 2 flights without F with an almost 5hrs connection time, so time to enjoy the service 
Two limo transfers, massage (proactively pre-booked by my hostess/driver ^), a very good meal, etc. 
Yes, I did pay the €300 fee (I think now everybody pays €300, not only plats).
What do you mean on "how was the process" ? If you mean the process of buying the service, very simple : you call La Première line a few days before and that's it. Note that it's subject to availability (the lounge must remain exclusive). I have already been denied (last Christmas) for my party (3 pax) because too many P pax this day at that time of the day.

Thanks for the update! 300 EUR while definitely not cheap is quite worth it when one has a long layover, especially with limo transfers both way. Even more worthwhile if connecting to a flight leaving from 2G

Hey Everyone,
I thought I remember reading somewhere you could purchase access to La Premiere lounge in CDG when flying on AF metal in J for 300 euros per person. Did a quick search on the couple of lounge threads but came up empty
Does anyone have any info on it? I have a surprise trip planned for my mother and I and this would be the perfect ending to the trip if I could purchase F lounge access and ground experience.
FWIW flying AF 008 booked with skymiles
