In late 2025, Air France announced plans to open a lounge at London Heathrow Airport (LHR), which is positive news for SkyTeam travelers departing from one of the airport’s main terminals. There’s now an exciting update, as the lounge has opened as of today, so we also have more details about what to expect from…

It's got to be Emirates, nobody else has lounges in more than a handful of foreign outstations.

CX and QR would slap everyone out of the water. They have the best set of outstation lounges. And CX footprint is significantly wider than QR. Qantas' F lounge in SIN is drastically better than the LAX one as well. VS Clubhouses are solid although there is a lot of variance given how different the setup is across SFO/LAX/JFK/IAD. For US airlines, Delta's HND SkyClub is up there though. And UA's LHR club is one of their better ones.

@VladG - I think problem with food at AF CDG lounges is that they only offer hot meals during standard meal times - which may be hard to follow when travelling. If you're flying at 18:50, you're not gonna eat your dinner after 18:30...

In addition to all of the longstanding "Best _____" lists, it would be interesting to see a list of the best outstation airline lounges. Would be interesting to see if there are patterns for branded lounges outside of airlines' domestic networks. In the US, Air Canada's SFO lounge and Qantas's LAX First Class Lounge spring most readily to mind.

Last time I was at a CDG lounge business lounge there were two entrées. One option was boiled pasta with tomato sauce in a separate compartment, you have to mix it two. The other and probably the only decent entree was roasted turkey. Except for 30 minutes they didn't even choose to replenish that. From my vantage point I saw about 40+ people open that empty panz looking for turkey and when it finally came, it was gone in like 5 minutes and then there wasn't anything replenished for another half an hour. If you're going to serve one decent entree at the very least you should have been structure to replenish it finishes out. Yeah, they do have some mid- champagne which they even serve onboard but I would rather take the much maligned AA flagship lounge over any AF lounge at CDG.

I have a rare Air France business class flight out of Heathrow in September, looking forward to checking this out. Actually never been in Terminal 4 as have always only ever flown BA or AA out of Heathrow.

Disagree.

While I do think that the variety of the food spread at the CDG lounges has some room for improvement, the comparison to the dirty BA T5 canteens is absurd. A more interesting comparison would be flying via CDG vs flying via MAD, where the IB facilities are very good (but rarely get much credit for it).
