Star Alliance (a Headline Partner of FTE APEX Asia Expo, 8-9 November 2023, Singapore) has opened its second lounge at Paris CDG Airport. It will welcome First and Business Class passengers and Star Alliance Gold status customers on member airline flights departing from gates 10 to 38 in Terminal 1. Eligible United Club and Air Canada Maple Leaf Club members may also access the lounge.
The new lounge is located airside after immigration and security controls in the newest part of the terminal. The sprawling but intimate space can accommodate over 300 guests across approximately 1,300sqm.
“Star Alliance stands for elevating the experience of its member airline passengers, and airport lounges play a vital role,” said Theo Panagiotoulias, CEO, Star Alliance. “We’re very proud to present our new Paris lounge, which is not only a delight to experience but also thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of the modern frequent traveller.”
With runway views, the lounge offers ample natural light with a glass façade running across its length, giving a sense of further largeness to the space. The space is enriched by local brands and artists for quintessential French charm.
Standout features include a Welcome Bar offering a range of beverages, an immersive Wine Bar featuring master wine-maker Gerard Bertrand and their wines from the South of France, and a Tea Salon offering an assortment from around the world. For business travellers who prefer a quieter space, there are private work cabins and secluded nooks throughout the lounge.
“Our new Paris lounge expands the count of Star Alliance branded lounges to seven worldwide and takes the airport lounge experience to new heights,” said Christian Draeger, Vice President for Customer Experience, Star Alliance. “Whether it is the design, décor or the F&B experience, we have carefully curated the lounge for a multi-sensorial experience for guests departing from the dazzling city of Paris.”
