During a long stopover at Houston Intercontinental airport, I had the opportunity to check out the Air France Lounge Houston.

Atmosphere & Seating
The Air France Lounge Houston was recently refreshed in 2024, and you can tell upon entering the lounge that, although still cramped, it’s slightly updated.
The lounge has several different seating areas with updated lounge seats and tables.
The main seating area is divided by an opaque glass to form two different sections, one with and one without a TV.
Across the the walkway, you’ll find another seating area with a sofa and additional seating.
There was also a space that doubled as additional seating with some desks for working.
If you’re traveling in La Premier, there is a VIP room at the end of the lounge that is completely enclosed, and has a TV and private seating.
Additionally, at the opposite end of the lounge is a dining area, with tables for eating and lounging.
Food & Beverage
The Air France Lounge Houston had salad and sandwiches available during the Priority Pass hours. However, outside of the Priority Pass hours, they have an impressive spread!
Now I had visited this same lounge in 2024, when there was a better food spread at the time.
They even had hot dishes, during the Priority Pass hours!
Wi-Fi & Connectivity
Complimentary WiFi was available but I didn’t get to try it.
Cleanliness & Facilities
The lounge was overall kept tidy and clean, however guests were forced to use restrooms out in the terminal.
Amenities
The Air France Lounge doesn’t have any additional amenities to offer besides the VIP room.
Final Thoughts & Verdict: Air France Lounge Houston Review
The Air France Lounge Houston is a small lounge for SkyTeam passengers that may not find seating or comfort in the often busy lounge. That being said:
- Is it worth arriving early to visit this lounge? Probably not. While the complimentary food can be nice, the space is quite small and cramped. While it is nicer than the terminal, its not by a whole lot, so arriving closer to your departure time might be nicer.
Overall Rating: 7.6/10
