Salon Icare

I had a 6-hour layover at Paris CDG. Being a Priority Pass holder, I decided to use the ICare Lounge at T1. My departing Air France flight was from T2E so I had to make a trip to T1. ICare Lounge at CDG T1 is an embarrassment to a major air hub and airport like CDG. It is small, tired and dated. Passengers departing from T2 have to make a convoluted journey to T1 in order to access this lounge. Firstly, they have to take the shuttle train, CDGVAL to T1 having to pass through long passageways along the way. At T1, passengers have to go to the Alyzia counter to obtain a lounge invitation. Then one has to clear immigration before taking the elevator up to the lounge. The whole journey from T2 to ICare Lounge took 45 minutes including immigration clearance. If you are departing from T2 and have the Prioroty Pass to use the ICare Lounge, you'll be better off staying in T2 where there is adequate seating, shops and restaurants to keep you occupied.
