Departing from Paris to Split via Vienna on Austrian, it’s at Terminal 2D that the adventure begins, and in terms of lounges it will be the one and only in this terminal: the Sheltair lounge.

Where is the Sheltair lounge in Terminal 2D at Roissy?
The Sheltair lounge is located in terminal 2D opposite gate 56. If you’re unfamiliar with this terminal, let’s just say that its position is far from central, and if your plane leaves from the first gates just past the shopping area, it’s a good stroll.
Who has access to the Sheltair lounge?
It is available to Elite and business passengers of Air Serbia, Austrian, Azerbaijan Airways, Belavia, CSA and Finnair.
For several months now, it has also been welcoming customers from airlines such as Lufthansa and Swiss, which usually operate at T1 but have moved to T2D.
It is also a Priority Pass lounge, accessible to Priority Pass cardholders.
La disposition du sThe layout of the Sheltair loungealon Sheltair
Let’s start with the good news: overlooking the departure lounge, this is no blind lounge. However, I find it odd that it’s only accessible by stairs, the elevator being reserved for the disabled. As if there’s no chance its users will have a suitcase with them.
As for the rest, it’s a large open space divided into several areas by furniture. One is more restaurant-style, others more lounge-like, and others more like a waiting room.
It’s not the hell I’d heard it described as, but it doesn’t exude joy and well-being. Plus it’s really dark.
Let’s just say it has the merit of existing, but we’re not going to get excited about the decorators’ prowess.
Catering at the Sheltair lounge
You’ll find (small) fresh salads, fruit compotes, yoghurts and cold meats (also in ramekins).
Bread and pastries…
Cold drinks, a little wine and some spirits.
It’s borderline and frankly disappointing. I can’t remember seeing a worse solid offer, apart from in the domestic lounges of small airlines (or the Air France lounges in the provinces).
Bottom line
It doesn’t take long to get to the bottom of the situation, with nothing remarkable, just a plain lounge and minimalist catering.
It has the merit of existing, that’s all.
