Cathay Pacific Lounge, CDG

At a glance

One of three lounges in Terminal 2A, and the best-rated of them. An airline lounge with room to get work done in peace, food and drink worth arriving early for, and showers worth building a layover around. It seats around 120, runs a full bar, and has four shower suites to freshen up in. Hours are 6:15 AM – 12 PM daily. Opened in 2012 and refreshed in 2025, so it doesn't feel its age. A lounge you'd be glad to have time in. Recorded access options include Cathay Pacific Lounge and oneworld Sapphire/Emerald Lounge Access. Entry conditions and availability apply.
