Air France Lounge at CDG Terminal 2E: A Quick Guide
2 hours ago
Now that you’ve finished going through security at Charles de Gaulle—and assuming you’re at the L Gate in Terminal 2E—you should see signs leading you to the lounge in “Hall L.”
The Deets
Entering the lounge is easy if you have Delta Gold and Platinum status, and any guest that accompanies you can enter for free.
This check-in process is vastly different than in the States where you have to pay for the second guest (which you can of course write off with your American Express Platinum). I entered on an Economy ticket as a Delta Platinum medallion.
The Air France lounge in Terminal 2E reminded me a bit of the Korean Air Lounge at the Seoul Incheon airport (except that had a Cass draft beer spout)—in that it’s relatively lackluster upon first glance. I mean it’s for sure no Delta Lounge at Boston’s International Terminal.
However, this lounge has everything you might need after you settle in for a bit. That includes ample snacks and a variety of nice French wines and rum from Martinique (I mean where else can you get that in a lounge?). There’s also of course quiet areas and showers.
The food was definitely a little on the disappointing side given that we’re in France and it’s Air France. I was expecting something a little fancier. But, you definitely can’t go wrong with simple snacks and yogurt (which is way better than what they serve in the States). The desserts were pretty good.
From there, after you rest and charge your devices—make sure to check your flight on the information board and then proceed to your gate.
