The World's Most Amazing Airport Lounges

Air France l'Espace Premiere lounge, Paris

Where it is: Charles de Gaulle Airport, Terminal 2E

What it's like: After being welcomed at a private, dedicated check-in area, first-class Air France travelers are escorted to this lounge—where the décor matches Air France's l'Espace Premiere in-flight cabins (plush red carpet, oversized leather armchairs). The amenities here include a work area with free Internet access; a relaxation area with reclining chaise lounges, showers, and Clarins massages; and meals, wines, and champagne. At departure, an agent accompanies travelers to a dedicated boarding gate, and a private Mercedes sedan then takes them to their plane. Vive la difference!
