How to access lounges

• Airline ticket class (Business/First) or elite status (Flying Blue, SkyTeam, Star Alliance, etc.).
• Priority Pass, LoungeKey, or paid entry at reception (subject to availability).
• Air France “Lounge Option” purchasable during booking/check‑in for some departures.

Practical tips

• If you have a connecting flight within Terminal 2, use Air France lounges in the same hall to avoid long transfers.
• For short layovers, prioritize lounges closest to your departure gate (2E/2F are large—allow 30–45 minutes to move between halls).
• Check lounge opening hours and access rules before travel (they vary by hall and may change).
• Book YOTELAir in advance for guaranteed cabin availability.

If you want, I can:

• list lounge locations by your departure terminal/gate, or
• check current access rules and opening hours for a specific lounge (I’ll look them up).
