Before flying back to Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), we had some time to check out one of Air France’s many lounges at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). We passed through security and immigration pretty quickly and had a decent amount of time in the Air France Lounge located in Terminal 2E, Hall M.
Access
Access is granted to passengers flying in Business Class or La Première on Air France, Flying Blue Gold or Platinum members, SkyTeam premium cabin passengers, and SkyTeam Elite Plus passengers. A same-day boarding pass is required to enter the Air France Lounge.
Anthony’s Take: This lounge is a fine place to pass some time before a flight. There is a good buffet, Wi-Fi, restrooms, showers, a spa, a kids area, a rest/quiet are, and plenty of space to relax or work. While the lounge is nice, I prefer the Air France lounge located in Terminal E, Hall L (review here) for its design.
After entering, there are several kiosks to check guest credentials to the left. Agents were seated to the right. There were quite a few guests entering when we arrived.
Bar
There are several self-serve bar areas with wine, liquor, beer, and soft drinks found around the lounge.

Seating & Decor
I love the modern design of this lounge and the various seating areas throughout.
There were multiple giant lamps throughout the lounge.

Even more seating

This lounge is modern and comfortable. It’s packed with amenities, has lots of space, and offers great food. I’ll definitely be back.
