Washington, D. C. (TAN): Air France has reopened its lounge at Washington-Dulles International Airport in the United States after an extensive renovation. The new lounge, open to Air France La Première and Business customers and Flying Blue Elite Plus members, is located near the boarding gates.
Sprawling across 615 square metres, the space can accommodate up to 155 guests, on two levels. Apart from a co-working space, showers, and brightly-coloured individual seats, the lounge offers dedicated areas to fliers travelling in the La Première cabin and for its Ultimate customers. Customers can unwind in chaises on the second level.

Air France is introducing pre-flight dining for Business passengers travelling on the daily AF027 flight to Paris-Charles at 2110 hours.
The new service will enable customers to have the same French gourmet meal in the airport lounge as the one they would have had on board, so they can make the most of their shut eye on the night flight. The meal will include a starter, hot dish, cheese, dessert and wine and champagne.
The airline has redesigned the self-service buffet section along the lines of a Parisian brasserie with new furnishings and circular benches to highlight French gourmet cuisine. Guests can choose from a cold, sweet and savoury selection here.
