Air France has opened its first dedicated lounge at Chicago O’Hare (ORD), giving premium travelers a serene pre-flight space designed for relaxation, dining, and productivity. Operated in partnership with Global Lounge Network, this 470-square-meter lounge welcomes Air France Business Class passengers, Flying Blue Elite Plus members, and eligible KLM travelers.
The Lounge Experience
Seating 105 guests, the lounge is open daily from 5 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. Large bay windows overlook the runway, filling the space with natural light, while a high ceiling and soft color palette create an immediate sense of calm — a welcome contrast to the busy Terminal 5 concourse.
The design reflects Air France’s signature aesthetic: muted blues, luminous whites, and subtle red accents, complemented by the airline’s historic winged seahorse emblem and heritage posters celebrating its long-haul legacy.
Whether you want to work, dine, or unwind, seating options cater to modern travelers:
- High-comfort armchairs and private ottoman-style pods facing the tarmac
- Shared tables ideal for small groups or collaborative work
Dining & Drinks
The lounge offers a French-inspired dining program with rotating hot and cold options, including vegetarian choices. Signature dishes include beef bourguignon, country-style chicken, and classic chocolate mousse with caramel cream. Emphasis is placed on locally sourced, seasonal ingredients and sustainability, including water fountains instead of bottled water.
A bar, modeled after Parisian hotel lounges, serves champagne, French wines, and spirits. Staffed during peak hours and self-service at quieter times, it offers flexibility for early departures or late arrivals.
