The primary Star Alliance Lounge at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) is located in Terminal 1. After passing through the main check-in area, you must clear passport control (immigration) first. The lounge is situated in the central "Lighthouse" structure of Terminal 1, specifically on Level 11. To reach it, look for the elevators located near the duty-free shops after you clear the border. In 2023, a brand-new Star Alliance lounge opened in the international boarding area (Gates 10-38), featuring an outdoor terrace and a wine bar. This second location is accessible after security. Access is granted to First and Business Class passengers on any Star Alliance member flight (such as United, Lufthansa, or Singapore Airlines), as well as Star Alliance Gold status holders. Always verify which "satellite" your flight departs from, as Terminal 1's unique circular layout can make moving between gates and lounges time-consuming.
