There are questions that on TFC channels have been asked at least 50 times, one of the most frequent concerns the lounges accessible at Terminal 2F of Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport, of course there are apps like lougebuddy that allow you to know for free and in just a few clicks which lounges you have access to based on different possibilities.
In this article:
If you are then a Priority Pass holder. this app also lets you know which lounges you have access to and under which rules, but people on the Internet are lazy, one wastes less time asking than searching: it happens in forums, Fb groups, and of course also in comments to our news.
Paris CDG
Charles de Gaulle Airport, commonly known as CDG, is the main international airport in Paris and one of the busiest in Europe. Opened in 1974 Named after French general and president Charles de Gaulle. Located about 25 kilometers northeast of the center of Paris, CDG Airport consists of three main terminals:
- Terminal 1: Featuring a unique disc-shaped architectural design, Star Alliance carriers mainly fly from here, but also airlines from other alliances such as Saudia, Aer Lingus and Emirates
- Terminal 2: Terminal 2 is divided into seven different sections (2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F, 2G). This part of the airport is the largest and hosts flights of Air France, Skyteam airlines and other carriers from different alliances and low-cost carriers such as easyJet
- Terminal 3: This terminal is smaller in size and is mainly used by low-cost airlines and for charter flights.

This is the busiest terminal ever for Italian travelers since it hosts Schengen-bound flights, as well as being the heart of Air France's flights to Italy and the rest of Europe, ITA Airways also flies here to Milan and Rome.
As we have written over and over again in our many articles at Paris terminal 2, there are no independent lounges accessible. The home of Air France houses a lounge for each section, and we here at TFC have reviewed virtually all of them, but are all open only to business class passengers or those who hold a ticket with Skypriority printed on it.
It goes from the beautiful, indeed the most beautiful lounge official in Europe's Schengen area, which is the one in terminal 2F, going on to those in the piers dedicated to intercontinental flights, but if you are flying with a non-Skyteam airline, or traveling in economy without Skyteam status, there are no usable waiting rooms.
Throughout T2, the only accessible independent lounge, but it is not exactly a lounge is the YotelAir, but it is only accessible to those heading to a non-Schengen destination. Then, of course, there are some official lounges where you enter by ticket or status.
Moving between terminals at CDG
The three terminals are not connected to each other, to move from one to the other you have to leave the sterile area, take the CDGVAL and get to the new terminal, definitely not a viable route like for example in Singapore or other airports with interconnected terminals. This means that you will not be able to take advantage of a lounge in a terminal other than the one where you leave. The same thing that happens at JFK in New York.
In conclusion
The choice of Paris Aeroport, the Paris airport management company, is simple: qhere is the home of Air France, and we only make passengers from AF, KLM and partners travel comfortably. There would be room to open independent lounges, but it is clear that the strategy is designed to push passengers to choose to fly with the hostess or to travel " less comfortable."
