Prologue:

Welcome to my connection from CDG to LIS. I was glad to take the offer for the upgrade because that gave me the opportunity to visit the new AF Lounge @ 2F and have a more relaxed journey.

Finally I had a chance to visit this famous lounge.

The agent greeted me warmly and welcomed me to step inside.This

Spacious with lots of natural light.

Buffet at the end of the room.

My selection.

Couldn't refuse a "tarte tropézienne." :)

Shower rooms on the second floor. I love the convenience of access without the need to talk to a staff member.

Summary:

The AF lounge @ 2F staff is great and it is a stunning place to relax before your flight. However it could be challenging to find seats when it's really busy and some people can take more space than allowed. I also noticed some stains and wear on the furniture which is not a good sign. Catering is correct and offered some nice cold items.

The flight an uneventful with a very professional crew that did a great job. The lack of meal choices and serving of cold dishes is somewhat disappointing and gives the feeling of cost cutting. However I have to say that I enjoyed my meal but if I'm a frequent traveler I can see myself getting tired of the same choices.

Good looking lounge but sad offer for a french airline.
While the meal is good, it'd been served for way too long.
Love your bonus.
Thanks Amigo

Thanks for your visit Casper. I think a little variety is in order here. Hard to think that AF has not changed the menu.

What a great bonus Panda. Are you going to gold ? A shower after a long trip it's a must.

Glad you enjoyed it Paul. I think I will stop with Silver. I still have to qualify for *A Gold thru TK and can't be chasing status with two alliances at the same time. Nothing beats a shower after a long trip.

Thank you Adan, do you prefer LH or AF lounge ? A good trip and meal.

LH seems to offer better hot food options but as far as design I like the AF lounges better.

I'm surprised that I've been flying AF so often lately. :P

Hi Adan!

A nice presentation of the lounge which is really beautiful. A hot offer all day would be nice!
On board the service is good, but it's a pity that we don't have menus and hot dishes... Especially since the dishes change much less often than before.

Thank tou for sharing with us my friend

Hi Seb,

Thanks for the comment. Yes it's a gorgeous lounge in my opinion. I don't understand why AF doesn't offer more hot food choices. Perhaps because of the high volume of people and cost savings.

Ouaf ! JetSetPanda !

Considering the meal you had on board and the lounge access, this purchased upgrade was an interesting opportunity.
Flight seems to be not full for a friday evening.
Beautiful Bonus.

Thanks for sharing Adan !

Oauf!

Very enjoyable meal but if I have the same thing on every flight then I can see that it can become boring. The lounge was nice and had a decent catering but I would have loved to see more hot choices and not only quiche.

Lisbon is a beautiful place. ;)
