Air France upgraded La Première lounge in Paris and opens new Heathrow lounge

 

In July, Air France elevated its premium airport experience with a redesigned La Première lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and the opening of a new lounge at London Heathrow.

The investment is part of Air France commitment to offer premium services to its passengers.

La Première Lounge, CDG

Located in Terminal 2E, the redesigned La Première lounge spans more than 1,000 square meters and offers greater privacy and comfort. Designed by Air France in collaboration with MARKS Brandimage, it complements the exclusive airport experience introduced in summer 2024 and the airline’s new La Première suites now available on selected Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

Warm materials, generous spaces and carefully designed lighting create an intimate atmosphere throughout the lounge. Guests are welcomed with Air France’s signature fragrance, AF001, created by French master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian.

At the heart of the lounge, the dining room has been expanded with additional seating while maintaining a private setting. Winner of Skytrax’s Best First Class Lounge Dining Experience in 2025, it showcases French haute cuisine created by Alain Ducasse and his teams. Signature dishes include coquillettes with ham and black truffle, seasonal vegetarian specialties and the chef’s renowned rum or Armagnac baba. The menu is complemented by wines and champagnes selected by Air France head sommelier Xavier Thuizat.

The lounge also offers redesigned seating areas featuring iconic furniture by Pierre Paulin, a larger Sisley spa with two treatment rooms, private relaxation rooms equipped with day beds, and dedicated workspaces. Every six months, Air France also displays a major artwork by a renowned artist.

For travelers seeking complete privacy, three exclusive 45-square-meter suites adjoin the lounge. Each includes a living room, bedroom, bathroom and outdoor patio. Guests are welcomed with champagne and Sturia caviar and can enjoy Alain Ducasse’s menu in complete privacy. They however need to be booked in advance for a fee.

London LHR Lounge


Air France has also opened on July 7 a new lounge at London Heathrow Terminal 4, providing customers with a refined French-style space before departure or during a layover. Open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m., the 750-square-meter lounge seats nearly 150 guests and welcomes eligible Air France, KLM and SkyTeam customers.

Designed with the same collaboration between Air France and MARKS Brandimage, the lounge reflects the airline’s signature blue, white and red colors and features furniture by leading French designers including Margaux Keller, Pierre Paulin, Patrick Jouin and Christophe Pillet.

The dining area serves traditional French cuisine throughout the day, including vegetarian options, while the bar offers champagne, French wines and spirits. Air France also emphasizes local and seasonal ingredients, food waste reduction, recycling and water dispensers to limit single-use plastics.

A dedicated Clarins wellness area offers complimentary treatments, including Anti Jet-Lag, L’Instant Detox and Focus Regard, while La Première customers benefit from an exclusive private section with personalized service, in-seat dining and an additional relaxation treatment. Flying Blue Ultimate members also enjoy a dedicated quiet area.

The Heathrow lounge also provides relaxation areas, workspaces, free Wi-Fi, charging points and digital newspapers through the Air France Press app. This summer, Air France is operating up to six daily flights between London Heathrow and Paris-Charles de Gaulle, providing convenient connections across its global network.
