Star Alliance has opened a new lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport.

Located in Terminal 1, the 1,300-sqm lounge will be open to First and Business Class passengers and Star Alliance Gold status customers on member airlines from Friday 13 October. Eligible United Club and Air Canada Maple Leaf Club members can also access the lounge.

The space can accommodate more than 300 guests and features a wine bar, a tea salon and private work cabins for business travellers. There’s also an outdoor courtyard, shower suites and “secluded nooks” throughout the lounge.

The airline alliance now operates two lounges at Paris CDG Terminal 1. ­The latest addition, located airside after immigration and security controls in the newest part of the terminal, will serve travellers departing from gates 10 to 38.

The pre-existing lounge, refurbished in 2019 and located prior to security on level 10, will now serve passengers departing on intra-Schengen flights from gates 50 to 78, as well as travellers from various lounge access programmes departing from all gates.

Currently, 20 Star Alliance member carriers operate from Paris CDG.

“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,” said Star Alliance CEO Theo Panagiotoulias.

The airline alliance now operates seven branded lounges worldwide.
