Air France

The lounge in 2F at CDG is small and very crowded. The only seats we could find were at a table in the cafe area at the back. The whole place feels more like a railway station waiting room than a business class lounge. Limited food choice some sandwiches nuts crisps etc. Are all AF lounges at CDG as abysmal as this?

Air France business lounges in Terminal 2C and 2F are very similar. Upper Deck Closes at 1630 adding to overcrowding of the small main lounge which at peak times is horrible overcrowded loud and noisy. Selection of drinks is limited sometimes there are some snacks (cheese baguettes fruits etc) which disappear within a few minutes because of the big amount of guests. Rest rooms are too small and Staff do not seem to be very motivated or even attempt to pretend they care! The feedback unit did not work which says it all.

Le Patiolounge is located on the 1st floor of Orly-Ouest Hall 2 just after the security check. Staff is very polite and friendly. Lounge is clean and seats are comfortable with a nice view on the apron. There are three free internet computers - all were working properly. Quite a large selection of newspapers but most of them in French and only two in English. The huge disappointment is the poor food and drinks. For hot drinks there are only vending machines - the same type as in gas stations. The choice for cold beverages is a bit larger but only small cans are offered. Forget about food - at any time of the day the lounge offers only chips or biscuits!

The staff are reasonably polite but that's where the positives end. We were both starving when we got to the lounge at 6pm but there was no hot food. I then decided to have some cold food but there was hardly any of that either! What is the use of crackers without cheese or butter? Only Air France knows the answer to that. All they had was crisps. On complaining to the staff I was told since "a few months ago" they only serve food at certain times. When they did eventually serve the much awaited fare it was tepid soup and that was about it.

Basic lounge upstairs of the main alley in the terminal. No view except over the shopping corridor below. Limited range of food except crisps biscuits. Even during lunch hours disappointing. Drink range adequate so is the reading material. Couple of pc with free internet access good but faulty connection. Toilets are outside the lounge.

Very modern looking retro lounge. It has several work stations and free wifi. Several staff had occupied one corner and were trying to hide while being noisy and consuming lounge food and beverages. Food included crisps fruit pies quiches sandwiches. There was a self service bar with wines beers soft drinks coffees sparkling wine and spirits. Good choice. Not too much reading material.

Not a good experience Despite Pudong having a lot of lounges passengers from several flights seem to be packed into just 1 so that the staff end up trying to find seats for guests. The welcome was poor along the lines of "voucher sit down". Food poor no white wine only red and a request for white was met with a simply "no". In the end we moved out To the main concourse as it is quieter more pleasant and far less crowded. What is the point of paying extra for this?

I wonder if we are talking about the same lounge here. There are two international terminals one for Saudi Arabian airlines and one for all other airlines. At the "foreign" international terminal the lounge was crowded and obviously too small but let's say it did the job: a seat free drinks free Wi-fi. Women can access the lounge and sit anywhere (it is not separate). There are large TV screens and staff announce flights on time.

The lounge is pretty basic. Small not particularly well kept. Chairs are worn and electric outlets were not adapted to American plugs. The highlight of the lounge is the older man who works there who showed me how to pour my sweet Vermouth properly (over ice). Lounge has a decent supply of newspapers.

Good selection of food and drinks both alcoholic and non-alcoholic however the seats are the most uncomfortable I have even seen. This is definitely not a lounge you would want to spend a lot of time waiting for a flight! Their old lounge was far more comfortable. Air France need to look into making this more comfortable for passengers especially in this age when increasing security issues make longer stays at the airport more and more common.
