DALLAS — Emirates (EK) opened its new 925-square-meter premium lounge in Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG).

The lounge, located in Terminal 2C, opened its doors earlier this week to welcome First and Business Class customers, as well as Emirates Skywards members.

The largest airline in the Middle East states it has invested close to US$952,900.90 (AE$3.5 million) to design "an extraordinary lounge experience in Paris that takes premium travel to new heights, with a special focus on comfort and convenience."

The Emirates lounge can accommodate up to 165 guests. Emirates customers can look forward to a modern design with new furnishings and shower facilities with VOYA products, complimentary Wi-Fi, and views of the airport runway. "The lounge will also feature unique seating arrangements for dining, lounging and quiet spaces for relaxation."

Last year, the UAE flag carrier partnered with Extime to offer premium travellers a "dedicated lounge space" in CGG's Terminal 1.
