Air France opened its first branded premium lounge at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 4 on 7 July 2026, ending years of reliance on partner facilities at the hub. The 750 m² facility seats 150 guests and features a dedicated La Première section with à la carte dining, a Flying Blue Ultimate area, and a Clarins Spa offering private treatments including Anti Jet-Lag and L’Instant Detox. Open daily from 5:00 AM to 10:00 PM, the lounge serves La Première, Business Class, Flying Blue Elite Plus, and qualifying SkyTeam/KLM partners. Full spa operations commence 13 July 2026 on weekdays. This strategic upgrade strengthens Air France’s premium presence on the Paris CDG–Heathrow route, directly competing with British Airways.
