Air France Lounge
★2.9(238 reviews)SFO
Air France's SkyTeam lounge at SFO — a hot buffet and full bar for Business, First and Elite Plus passengers.
The Air France Lounge at San Francisco International is the airline's space for its premium and SkyTeam passengers, ahead of the transatlantic service to Paris. It's in the International Terminal, airside, and welcomes Air France and KLM Business and First Class travellers, SkyTeam international Business class customers and SkyTeam Elite Plus members travelling internationally. Access therefore follows your SkyTeam cabin or frequent-flyer tier rather than a lounge membership. In keeping with Air France's other lounges, you can expect a complimentary hot buffet and snacks alongside a full bar with soft drinks and a selection of wines and spirits, plus comfortable seating to relax in before a long-haul flight. It's a focused airline lounge rather than a general-access space — the simplest way in is to be flying Air France, KLM or a SkyTeam partner in a premium cabin, or to hold qualifying SkyTeam Elite Plus status.
