Hi,

We may have a 12 hours layover at Paris and unfortunately its going to be overnight (10 PM to 10 AM). It truly sucks, but that's the price to pay for getting cheap tickets I guess.

I was wondering if we can make use of any of the lounges where we can at least stretch and sleep, for a fee?

1) If so, which lounges are these?
2) How much (approximately) would they cost?
3) Can we book a spot in advance?

Thanks!

Which airline are you flying? Most will allow you to pay to use their lounge if you aren't a club member.

But you might do better to stay at a hotel; lounges aren't always open all night.

Thanks, Underhill we're flying Air France.

Like Underhill said, I highly doubt that any airport lounges are open all night long. They tend to close after their last flight goes out.

Your best bet is an airport hotel. In a sense, the $ you saved on airfare would be used for a hotel room.

If you really want to save $ and are willing to rough it, you can check this out:

But it doesn't look good for you given that CDG is rated #1 as "Airports you Hate".

I don't believe you can buy day passes to any of the AF lounges at CDG and in any case, they won't be open overnight.

Thanks a lot, everyone.
