Today’s itinerary

Ground course / Connection circuit

The non-Schengen to non-Schengen connection circuit is quite simple, but the path can seem labyrinthine between the different lines leading to immigration and the correspondence circuit and its multiple directions.

We spot the path to the K-gates, where our flight to Cancun leaves from, and head forthe deserted Fast Track.

We are airside a few seconds later.Very fast, especially for those who know CDG…

Location

The Hall K lounge is located on the lower floor. It is well marked and accessible by stairs or elevators. Too bad there is no escalator leading to it.

Lounge design

The reception will be quite cold aswe are directed to the kiosks to scan our boarding passes.

Two parts are available: on the right,a large room with low ceiling. I will skip this not very pleasant room.

On the left, a slightly smaller room but with a nice high ceiling and a mezzanine that I particularly appreciate. It is there that we will settle down for the few hours which separate us from our boarding for Cancun.

Thelounge furniture is very dated in the late 90s, dating back to the opening of the K boarding pier. Some modern touches have been added to the buffet since then.
