I can't be the first traveler to think that if I have an early departure flight,
why not make it a late night instead of an early morning.
Are any of the swanky lounges at CDG airport open very early/late?
What's the earliest possible breakfast? -- I'm hoping for something like 3 or 4 am.
I know of no lounge open before 06h00.
You can get a room at the IBIS and have breakfast way before dawn. I've run into a lot of people heading out on the first planes having breakfast there. Be sure you book the one on the CDGVal internal transit train.
If I remember the Holiday Inn Express, on the CDGVAl, is inexpensive and serves its free breakfast very early.
Most of the lounges at this airport are run by Air France. None of them open before 530 and Air France does not allow access more than three hours before your flight
The EXTIME lounge , which I think is not airline affiliated opens at six
so basically you’d be hanging out in the concourse from midnight to one of your plane leaves. And there won’t be anything open
I'm so grumbly about this that I may see how much changing to a later non-direct flight would cost.
Even this new announcement that United is making wifi free and the direct flight equipment is a Dreamliner. I'd still like to avoid a 4am hotel checkout.
I’d be grumbly too with a 4 AM checkout. I once had a pick up at 2 AM in Singapore and vowed to not schedule a flight before 7 or 8 AM.
I hope you find a better flight schedule.
