I am not sure what a "Fully-Stocked Bar" means at the Paris Orly Airport, the second largest…read moreairport in this great city of lights. But according to my well informed bottle count, it means 14 bottles of hard liquors and aperitifs, 2 bottles of dry white wine, 2 bottles of dry red wine, 1 bottle of Champagne on ice, a double refrigerator shelf's worth of beers, lagers, and IPAs, 2 more shelves of soft drinks, juices and a few mixers, some glasses, and a bin full of ice cubes. That's not bad, if I were home with my thoughts and the television on. But in an airport lounges private club-room that costs money to join, I'm not so sure that the term "Fully-Stocked Bar" could even apply. Luckily Air Frances noble Tushy is not completely hanging out to dry, because there's actually "Food" here - or at least things that you can put in your mouth: like Pretzels, Sweet-Rolls, Croissants, Cookie-like things, and Instant Cup-O-Noodles. The saving grace (other than the bottles of mid-quality booze) is the "Hot-Stations:" Hot Tea, Hot Water, and a very nice Espresso Machine. And if you are an amateur Bartender, which am not, you could probably whip up some Martinis, a Whisky Sour, or a Nigrone. But that's about as good as it's going to get in this place, unless you're prepared to put together a tray of Mojitos, accompanied by a piping hot bowl of instant Oatmeal and a piece of Bread with Butter & Jam. And the only thing worse than this Private Membership Airline Lounge's food & drink selection is the stark sparseness of it nearly all-white plastic 1970s & 80s style décor. I can't complain though. I love Cup-O-Noodles with my morning Jigger of Calvados & Beer.

What an awesome little lounge..... emphasis on the little…read more Orly airport, typically speaking, isn't the airport you'd fly out of when coming back to the states. You'll more than likely find yourself at CDG, where I am sure they have a FAR larger lounge. All that said, I really wasn't expecting to find myself in this lounge on our way home this November for a few reasons: 1) I booked with Delta; I know operated by AF, but that doesn't always mean "come pay to use our lounge". 2) I was flying coach, and you can't pay to use AF lounges normally.... But then, a magical thing happened. Air France offered me a ridiculously low price to upgrade myself and my girlfriend to first class. Could it be? Would I be in the lap of luxury, laying flat across the Atlantic? Bet your ass I was, and it was everything I hoped for, and more, starting with the lounge. The staff was a gracious as could be; warm, welcoming, and most of all helpful with any request. The chairs were quite lovely, and there were plugs everywhere to charge up anything you might need to. The food was interesting to say the least; small pastries as you'd expect, but also for some inexplicable reason, instant ramen soup (low sodium, really really good). For drinks, they had a super nice cappuccino coffee maker, and all the booze your heart could desire. I nice personal touch, was that the staff walked around the lounge constantly asking if we would like more champagne, which of course, we always did. The only real qualm I had with the place, was that there was no bathroom. If after several glasses of champagne, you needed to use the facilities, you had to walk down two flights of stairs...C'est la vie absolutely worth the 10 trips I made (no drinking problem here, I swear). Super happy to have had the chance to check this place out, it was pretty fantastic.

One of my favorite parts of long-haul travel or a redeye is getting a proper shower at the lounge…read morebeforehand and then relaxing a bit before boarding. Unfortunately, the Air France lounge in CDG Terminal 2E L was a major letdown. The showers were the biggest issue. Broken or missing knobs on the shower doors, visible black mold throughout the grout, and body hair on the walls made it feel like the space hadn't been properly cleaned in a long time. The toilet seat in the same area was dirty, the hair dryer didn't work, and the room itself felt unbearably hot. This is not what you expect from a premium international lounge. The rest of the lounge wasn't much better. Many of the seats were worn, torn, or stained. The carpets had visible stains. Food options were pretty poor overall, and both coffee machines were in disrepair during my visit. There is a rest or sleeping area, which I was fortunate enough to get access to, and that was the one redeeming feature of the lounge. Compared to other lounges I've visited, especially American Airlines lounges or the Flagship Lounge at CDG, this doesn't even come close. The difference in cleanliness, upkeep, and overall experience is stark. The only reason this lounge earns two stars instead of one is the staff. Everyone I interacted with was pleasant and kind, which helped soften what was otherwise a frustrating experience. Overall, this lounge needs serious attention to cleanliness, maintenance, and basic amenities. For a major international hub and a flagship airline, this experience was far below expectations.

Plenty of seatings, food options are decent... hot food and cold items, has like a wine bar and snacks. The bathrooms are clean. Coffee/cappuccino machine was ok. Got myself chips, cold cuts and made a sando... Honestly, overall... if you have a few hours to kill, this is worth it to just have a comfy place to rest.

When I…read morearrived at 9:30am, there were no employees working the check-in desk, but the scanning process was fine. It was not busy in the lounge, and it is quite pleasant here.

It is a bit early for champagne for me normally, but I went with it today. :) to the left are more individualized work stations and a quieter atmosphere. The bathrooms and showers are also to the left. The hot food selection was kinda meh. Eggs, bacon, beans, little dry hash brown patties, congee, broccoli with no taste, fried rice with no flavor, etc. the charcuterie board was lovely, and the little cupcakes were cute. There is a decent drinks selection, several nice coffee stations, and a fantastic loose tea selection as well. There are sleek private bathrooms, and shower facilities. I'm It is a very pleasant lounge. I just docked a star because the food was not as sophisticated or elegant as I hoped. Solid WiFi. The employees that I came across were friendly and they were keeping the place looking tidy. Overall, not a bad place to spend an hour or two at CDG terminal 1. Peace.

During our recent trip to Paris, my spouse, my child, and I were denied access to this lounge…read moredespite it being completely empty. The entire situation was handled with a severe lack of professionalism, approach, and problem resolution that falls incredibly short of the standards held by other United lounge employees worldwide. The counter agent initially refused entry by incorrectly claiming that an economy ticket disallowed access and that Gold status was required. After stepping away to verify my digital pass--which explicitly permits access for two guests or one adult and a child--I returned and showed my phone to demonstrate full compliance. Instead of correcting their error, the staff dismissed the digital proof, aggressively asserting that because this was Paris and not the U.S., the rules were different. Even after escalating the matter to the manager, the denial was maintained. I was insultingly advised that I could enter without one of them--expecting me to leave my spouse or child outside an empty lounge. This experience demonstrated a blatant disregard for documented cardmember benefits and a total failure in customer service. Absolute embarrassment. #UnitedAirlines

With that, another con with the location pre-security if that you can't save a tea drink for the plane ride (or maybe they do that on purpose). But overall, was a fan of this lounge!

If you are expecting something like The Pier - First at HKG when you visit this lounge you might…read morewant to lower your expectations just a bit. It's right next to the Admiral's Club and was quite a bit less crowded. It's basically one large room with a buffet and beverages lining one side of the wall. There is quite a bit of seating including Cathay's unique "Solus" single seats which are sort of a very small private enclave with a table. Power connections were ample though are not the universal type meaning you'll need an adapter in you have US devices. WiFi was quick enough and easy to connect to. There is no separate first class area in this lounge. Food selections were standard Cathay including a small counter where you can order some of their famous noodles. Plenty of booze was out even at 10:00am; the breakfast selection was a mix of Asian, European, and western (ie congee or sliced meats or sausages and hash browns). If you're flying AA this will probably be a less crowded choice for you though nothing like Cathay's flagship HKG lounges.

In here,…read morethey have their famous cook to order noodle bar -- your choice of wonton noodle, dandan mien, chicken pho, etc For any Oneworld travelers, my recommendation is for you to check out the Admirals Club first, maybe grab a quick drink, then move over to the Cathay lounge.

We arrived early morning and the lounge was buzzing with activity and people. In my opinion, food wasn't a huge selling point at this lounge location - at least not for breakfast. It's heavy on the carbs and pastries. The hot food options that I spotted were scrambled eggs and bacon. Many, many drink offerings include bottled beverages, can sodas and juices, pour yourself alcohol, teas, fresh juices, etc. We weren't able to stay here long but it served its purpose for us to rest a bit and grab some food before jumping on the next flight. Still enjoyed the brief stay!

If it were possible to rate something with 0 stars, this lounge would still be rated too highly…read more First, there were multiple bathrooms that were out of service. The food selection had some good items (pastries, fruit, etc.) but when weighed against the runny eggs, 1 functional coffee machine (a very slow one), 1 broken coffee machine, and a single water faucet, the overall impression was that McDonald's would be an improvement. The "bar" had seating for 10 or so people. Bar is in quotes because it was entirely self service and was more of a raised table than a bar. Seating was decent with comfortable chairs.

How do you rate an airport lounge? Compared to other lounges this one is OK. It's comfortable but…read morenothing particularly special. Compared to the general terminal area this lounge is a godsend. When you're flying on EasyJet any lounge you can get access to is a good lounge. Our EasyJet flight was delayed almost 5 hours, and we spent about 5 hours killing that time in this lounge. It was pretty dead for most of the time. There are a lot of nice chairs, some tables, and plenty of outlets. The lounge itself serves first class passengers on a handful of oddball airlines, but also accepts Priority Pass, which is how we got in with a lowly EasyJet boarding pass. There are two TVs and the two women staffing the lounge were pleasant and let us have the remote to one of the TVs. There's also a few newspaper and magazine racks with plenty of reading material. Wi-Fi is solid and much better than the free Wi-Fi in the terminal. I was able to make several calls over Wi-Fi to cancel my dinner reservations in Belfast and tell the hotel not to give away my room. Food is pretty limited. There's some pasta salad in the fridge, fresh bread on the counter, as well as chips and other small snacks. There's a much bigger variety of drinks, including beer, wine and spirits, and soft drinks in the cooler. There's a couple of coffee machines as well. Bathrooms are the biggest disappointment. They are in the basement and kind of cold and dark. There aren't any shower facilities here.
