Air France's lounge at LHR is located in Terminal 4
Air France has opened its lounge at London Heathrow International Airport (LHR) today, a strategic hub on its medium-haul network. For the first time, the airline is offering passengers an elegant space designed to provide peace and quiet and French-style refinement before a flight or during a layover.
Located in Terminal 4, this lounge offers a place to relax and grab a bite to eat, open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. The lounge welcomes Air France La Première, Business and Flying Blue Elite Plus passengers, as well as eligible travelers flying with KLM and SkyTeam alliance partner airlines.
Entirely designed by Air France teams in collaboration with the agency MARKS Brandimage, the lounge covers over 750 square meters and has nearly 150 seats. Bathed in light and offering a view of the runways, it reflects the airline’s world with a refined display of its brand identity, displaying its logo, the winged seahorse — Air France’s historic symbol — as well as a selection of posters illustrating its rich heritage.
The company’s signature colours — shades of blue, bright white and touches of red — provide the space with an elegant, relaxing atmosphere. The sleek furniture has been carefully chosen to offer optimal comfort and showcase leading names in French design, such as Margaux Keller, Pierre Paulin, Patrick Jouin and Christophe Pillet.
French hospitality
At the heart of the lounge, a dining area invites passengers to enjoy a culinary experience featuring traditional French dishes. Designed as an open and welcoming space, where the kitchen blends seamlessly into the dining area, it seats close to sixty guests, with a mix of tables for two and a large communal table.
The varied menu changes throughout the day, offering a selection of hot and cold, savoury and sweet dishes, including vegetarian options.
A bar is also a main feature in the lounge. Its modern design creates a festive and sophisticated atmosphere. Staffed by a bartender, it offers a selection of champagne, French wines and spirits.
As part of a more sustainable approach, Air France prioritizes the use of local and seasonal produce when creating its menus, paying attention to reducing food waste, as well as to the sorting and recycling of waste generated by catering services. Water dispensers are also available to limit the use of single-use plastic.
Clarins treatment area
This lounge features a treatment area by Clarins, an Air France partner for nearly 20 years. In a cozy private treatment room, Clarins’ expert beauty therapists are on hand to address beauty concerns. Passengers are invited to choose one complimentary treatment from the following: Anti Jet-Lag, L’Instant Detox and Focus Regard. From the selection of powerful plant-based formulas to the carefully calibrated pressure of draining techniques, each treatment is adapted, crafted and tailored to the individual. These beauty rituals combine deep relaxation with the release of tension. With every treatment, Clarins’ art of touch, combined with products rich in plant extracts, transports guests into a world of absolute well-being.
The Clarins treatment area will be open Monday to Friday starting July 13. Bookings can be made in person at the Clarins reception desk in the Air France lounge. La Première passengers can also book these treatments by calling their dedicated phone number.
A space for La Première passengers
In the lounge, La Première guests are welcomed in a private area, where they receive a bespoke service. Modeled on the La Première suite available on certain long-haul flights departing from Paris-Charles de Gaulle, it offers a particularly comfortable layout. With a view of the runways, it features five seats and offers in-seat dining service. In the Clarins area, La Première passengers can also enjoy a “Destination Relaxation” treatment designed especially for them.
All the essentials of Air France lounges
Throughout the lounge, passengers can settle into a range of comfortable chairs to relax, work or enjoy a bite to eat. Tucked away from view, there is a dedicated relaxation area with a subdued atmosphere. A quiet and functional workspace is also available.
To ensure quick and seamless access, the lounge entrance is equipped with eligibility kiosks. The lounge also features TV screens, free Wi-Fi and plenty of power sockets and USB ports near the seats. Finally, a selection of French and international digital newspapers and magazines is available on the Air France Press app.
