After a short trip to Strasbourg, I’m going with Bertrand to Dubai for a relaxing weekend at the beginning of this summer, which will be busy with all kinds of trips.
Enregistrement et expérience au sol
I arrived at the CDG2 RER station by TGV, while Bertrand slept at the Sheraton CDG, which we now know well, for a quick coffee in the Club Lounge.
After a few minutes, we leave the hotel to join CDGVAL, the shuttle between the different terminals of CDG.
The automatic shuttle takes about 10 minutes between terminal 2 and terminal 1, and we finally disembark landside at T1.
Having no luggage to check, we pass the boarding card control. Note that despite the signage, there is no priority passage, anyone can pass anywhere.
Once this quick formality is over, we go to the satellite from where the LH Group embarks.
Lounge
Lounge Once we passed the priority PIF (the access n°1 works perfectly here), we go to the Lufthansa lounge, used by all the Star Alliance airlines of the satellite, including Swiss which will be our airline of the day.
Access is by elevator and the entrance is well guarded.
The cerbera of the lounge is hardly smiling. At that time, I am not yet Star Gold… Even if we both travel in Business Class, Bertrand takes me as a guest, to be able to access the Senator lounge. In Paris, the difference between the two lounges is small, but it won’t always be the case.
At the entrance of the lounge, a checkroom is available:
A real work space, even if it is not necessarily first class:
The lounge’s lounging area is quite busy on this Saturday morning:
The sideboard is quite attractive and offers high seating for shorter waits:
A rather qualitative food offer at breakfast time:
After a short wait, it is now time to board our flight to Zurich!
Bottom line
A decent floor experience, but nothing more, and a lounge that just does the job. The lack of natural light is really a problem and does not allow for long waits. The Senator side is a little better, especially in terms of catering.
