The Air France lounge in Roissy’s Terminal 2F is a real improvement on the two previous lounges. While it is often criticized for being a veritable zoo at peak times, it proves very pleasant when it is less crowded.

During my last few visits here, I hadn’t really had the chance to really appreciate this lounge because it was too crowded, but this time, given the time of my flight, I was happy to be able to discover it from another angle and form a real opinion about it.

At the bottom of the page you’ll find a summary of articles about this trip to Porto.

Lounge location

It’s located in terminal 2F after the “normal” security checkpoints, but since passengers who have access to the lounge have access to a less busy “Access N°1” checkpoint at the beginning of the terminal when arriving from the RER/TGV station, they’ll have to walk a little.

It’s located between the two peninsulas 2F1 and 2F2, which nobody ever calls by that name…

Eligibility

It is available to Air France and Skyteam passengers travelling in business class, to Flying Blue Gold and Platinum members regardless of their class of travel, and to Skyteam Elite Plus members outside Flying Blue, provided they are connected to an international flight.

It is also possible to purchase access online or at the reception desk, subject to lounge occupancy.

Layout and design

The lounge occupies two floors, with a large bay window overlooking the tarmac. It is therefore very bright.

It’s really airy, with lots of little nooks and crannies where you’ll find different types of seats and benches, depending on what you’re looking for.

Upstairs there are also more secluded, quiet, dark places to rest.

The two floors are linked by a majestic staircase.

As for the buffet, there is in fact not one but several islands spread around the lounge to avoid large crowds that would make service longer and replenishment more complicated.

Catering

When I arrived, it was the breakfast offer that was in place.

There was bread, pastries, yoghurt, fruit, cheese, cold meats…

On the hot side, there were sausages…

Omelettes.

And potato pancakes.

As for drinks, there are fridges stocked with softs, water fountains and tea and coffee machines, and bars stocked with alcoholic beverages in various parts of the lounge.

Later, the lunchtime offer will be set up.

There are salads, cold meats, cheese, sandwiches…

Desserts.

The hot offer is more limited, with meat in sauce…

Wine will complete the beverage offer.

More than adequate, and infinitely better than the old 2F lounges, even if I still prefer the buffets in the Schengen Lufthansa lounges in Frankfurt or the Swiss lounge in Zurich, when comparing like with like.

Facilities

As well as toilets, the lounge has showers and a Clarins Spa where you can book treatments.

Atmosphere

For once, the lounge was quiet and easy to find a seat, quite the opposite of our previous experiences.

Of course, this won’t stop some moron sitting right next to me and doing a videoconference without a headset, even though there’s plenty of room.

Bottom line

At last, a very good experience in this quality lounge, which sometimes suffers only from its size and the fact that it was so intent on giving its occupants a feeling of space that they find themselves crammed in when it comes to sitting, provided they manage to find a seat.
