About the meeting room in the Ultimate/hippo space, do you know if this can be pre-booked ?

I don't know the booking process for the meeting room in the VIP zone, to be honest I dont find this VIP zone very attractive with the windows facing the building and not the apron BUT it's very private and just right next to the entrance.

I hadn't realised until I watched the AF "making of" video that this is an entirely new extension built from scratch and connected to the terminal, rather than being part of the existing terminal footprint - impressive work.

It looks really stunning! The old lounges were so awful and crowded, can't wait to visit that one. Looks like they took some ideas from the main KLM lounge in Amsterdam, with the QR code showers and the lockers (lockers in my opinion are one of the most useful amenity in a lounge, what a pleasure to not lug your things around every time you move).

It looks really nice and airy! I must say that they have done a great job with both of the new 2F and YUL lounges, judging from the pictures.
Can`t wait to go there!
My only concern is the temperature during summer in 2F. I hope they did a better job with the air conditioning, then in the terminal.

I’m here now and I concur with everyone - such a fantastic improvement. Champagne service starts at 11 am - and it’s the most popular bottle and tends to run out. Staff are very nice and are happy to show pax around and chitchat in general.
Bien joué!!!

I was here for a couple of hours last night for dinner. The design is very nice, and the views are great. Since I was solo traveling with a lot of hand luggage I did not visit upstairs - is there a different food offering? To be honest I was not impressed with the food downstairs. Potato chips at one station, and pickles (Onions, gherkins and fish) with some salad options at the other (at the main entrance).
Admittedly there were a lot of additional sweet options, though at 7PM that was not really what I was looking for.

Either I missed them completely, or perhaps they had run out. My impression was that there were cold cuts and a bunch of sweets on offer. Did they ever have hot food in the old lounge?
