A New Airport Lounge With A Sauna

Matthew Klint Posted onJuly 14, 2018July 14, 2018 6 Comments

I’ve written about the sauna available inside the Finnair Lounge in Helsinki before. Now another airport lounge, this one nearly 1,200 miles away, offers not just one, but two saunas.

This lounge is in Paris. It’s in the new Air France Business Class in Terminal 2E. I also wrote about that lounge in a separate post. Rather than a communal sauna like in Helsinki, this lounge has two private saunas.

I hear the 33,000-square foot lounge gets very crowded, so you may need to arrive very early to secure one. The Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse in London Heathrow also has a sauna (and steam room).

As a Southern California native, I grew up with hot summers and very mild winters. Saunas were not at all part of my life growing up. But when I started traveling, now over a decade ago, I discovered how therapeutic saunas can be.

Perhaps my love of saunas is best summed up by this Travel + Leisure video:

People who regularly visit saunas show lower rates of dementia, hypertension and cardiac death than infrequent visitors.

A sauna is a must-have amenity for me if I am on vacation in Europe. My German wife, who grew up using saunas, rolls her eyes at how much I love them.

Would you use a sauna in an airport lounge?

    Drawing a very long bow to suggest that there’s cause an effect between frequenting a sauna and lower rates of disease and death. Rather like the converse: the argument that saunas/steam baths might have been one route of transmission of HIV ( SFO, NYC specifically ,in the early 80s).
    They are great, and invigorating, but I can’t imagine using one in an airport.

      HIV was transmitted through sex and other exchange of bodily fluids, not through a sauna. Or am I missing something? I don’t think intercourse is the purpose of these saunas, especially the solo ones in Paris.

        No, what I’m saying is that the claim that using saunas results in better health outcomes is just as spurious as the idea that they were somehow involved ( legionnaires-like) in the transmission of whatever caused AIDS. There is no cause and effect in the former and the latter was in the very early days of a desperate search for clues.
        The correlation between better health and going to saunas is more likely to be about socio-economic status than any direct benefit. However, it’s a pleasant experience ( and nothing about sex).

The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles The new United Polaris Lounge at Washington Dulles is the most beautiful of all Polaris Lounges. Stay tuned for a detailed look and many more photos on the blog tomorrow. Well done @united.
@malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire i @malaysiaairlines just announced it would retire its A380 fleet. While not surprising, it is sad to see the growing list of carriers retiring this superjumbo jet. On Malaysia Airlines, I flew the #A380 once from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to London (LHR) and had the entire first class cabin to myself (full review on the blog). It was a beautiful flight that I will always remember.

While I’ve enjoyed catching up on others over the years, now it is time for me to return to Instagram.
