Star Alliance Opens New Lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport

Star Alliance, the world’s largest airline alliance, opened its second lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport. The new lounge 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 conveniently located airside after immigration and security controls in the newest part of the terminal. It can accommodate over 300 guests across approximately 1,300 square meters. It has been designed by the leading architecture firm, Gensler, which also designed the award-winning Star
Alliance Los Angeles airport lounge in 2013.

Star Alliance CEO Theo Panagiotoulias said:

“Star Alliance stands for elevating the experience of its member airline passengers, and airport lounges play a vital role. 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 great runway views and plenty of natural light the space is also filled with quintessential French charm. Wall moldings and archways decorated with captivating black and white photographs of the Eiffel Tower and furnished with meticulously selected pieces by French artists, make the lounge a visual delight like no other.

Standout features include a stunningly designed 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.

Christian Draeger, Star Alliance’s Vice President for Customer Experience states;
“Our new Paris lounge expands the count of Star Alliance branded lounges to seven
worldwide and takes the airport lounge experience to new heights. Whether it is the design, décor or the F&B experience, we have carefully curated the lounge for a multisensorial experience for guests departing from the dazzling city of Paris.”

The new Star Alliance Paris Lounge offers something for every visitor. Guests can unwind in an abundantly lit Winter Garden or a spacious outdoor courtyard, or freshen up in the well-appointed shower suites.

There are two Star Alliance lounges operating in Terminal 1 now. The first 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 guests from various lounge access programs departing from all gates.
At present, 20 Star Alliance member carriers operate from Paris – CDG, offering 464
weekly departures to 34 destinations in 22 countries.
