At the airport

Due to the large number of flights departing in the morning (more than fifteen flights over two hours), security checks in the Skypriority queue take time, around 20 minutes, as only two queues are reserved for Premium passengers. The lounge is located at the end of the terminal. but is right next to the start area.
The exhibition
With a surface area of 730 m², the show offers space for just over a hundred people.. Opened in 2017, it was the first to inaugurate the long series of Air France lounge renovations. It remains the airline's smallest, a long way behind Terminal 2E lounges halls K and L, with their 2800m² and 3200m² respectively, or terminal 2F with its 3000m².
Nonetheless, it offers all the services of the Air France lounges at Roissy airportThe only exceptions are the Clarins treatment and wellness area and a separate relaxation area. In one corner of the lounge, a very small area is reserved for La Première passengers.

Boarding and flight
The flight was finally 15 minutes late but landed on time. Boarding takes place in a narrow and, as a result, crowded lounge. Numbered groups were called, business class passengers being the first to walk to the Embraer 190parked outside the boarding gate.
The business cabin on this flight to Bilbao is very small: just one row of 4 seats in a 2-2 configuration. Breakfast was served during the flight - rather mediocre because it was cold. In retrospect, we'll appreciate the buffet in the Air France lounge all the more. It really is essential for a good start to the day!
Verdict
The Air France lounge in Terminal 2GWhile not quite as luxurious as its counterparts in other terminals in Terminal 2, it is a very pleasant place to relax before your flight. It also boasts an exceptional choice of gastronomic delights.
Highly recommended, even for economy class passengers looking for a slightly exclusive place in the terminal. However, this 'pleasure' will cost them 75€. Flying Blue Silver members benefit from a discount of 25%..
