​​​​​Normally not you'll need to clear immigration that used to be done in P lounge which is closed for the moment.
So you'll be escorted from 2F to 2E to clear immigration by walk. At least, that's what happened to me again yesterday while flying to GRU

I wouldn't have paid this, but then again F between US and Europe is very limited these days now that LH is no longer offering it on any flight to the US

LH First is still operating until the end of the month. And then disappears from November until at least April.

I think food and wine pictures are missing from this thread

My last flight from CDG to MEX (was the only one P passenger and we were 46 in total ).

Renovation in P lounge in CDG is finished but they do not plan to reopen soon (as long as the number of P passengers is not increasing).

P cabin will not be offered to GRU or GIG before at least April 21.

Now, time for some pictures !

The Bordeaux Château La Dominique 2015 is incredible

Seems like business (or should I say first?) as usual in La Première!
Interesting that they are waiting for more F traffic. Wouldn't be surprised if there was only single digit loads on the daily throughout network. What destinations are served these days anyway?
TYO, PVG (ICN), DXB, MEX, JNB, ABJ, MEX, JFK, IAD, MIA, SFO, LAX
Most of which aren't even daily, thats not much. And still no news when it comes to the two "loisirs" 77W that were supposed to be fitted with the Best cabins and F? Or the A350s that were supposed to get F?

Too bad for GRU. But GIG didn't have P for at least 10 or 15 years, unless I am mistaken.

Not surprising, unfortunately.

There were a few flights, but really very few, in 2019 I believe, that had P to GIG. But I think that was more for dispatching of aircraft reasons than a deliberate decision to make GIG a P market. I so would have been on that flight... But GIG is actually treated badly. Gets the NEV4 777-300ERs, and sometimes a second flight on the A330

It's more than LH and possibly LX at this point. I'm very surprised that F has been doing more F than they have, although I would suppose it's possibly because AF has less flexibility to remove planes with F service from service, as well as more planes with F overall than LX. Nothing to back up that intuition, though.

LX: 31 planes equipped with F (and 8 F seats too).
LH: 19 planes equipped with F (and 8 F seats too).
AF: 43 77Ws, so 43 planes equipped with F (and those are 4 seats each).

This assumes retirement from LH of all F-equipped planes but the 748, and retirement of all AF A380s.

Bolding is mine. Not all AF B77W have F. Only 19 have F (4 seats).

And I wrote MEX twice...
That leaves 8 destinations half of which aren't daily. That's not many available seats.

AF only has 19 77W with 4 F seats., total 76 seats
LH has 19 748 and 10 A346 with 8 seats , total 232 seats.

But you are right that LH is basically stopping F service to use small planes.
AF probably has very, very few rev F pax every day (our own matmatlr is an exception),

I believe the F-equipped A346's are currently not in service.
