Boston: There’s Another “Monster” in Town. Our “Monster” Lounge.

April was a busy month for us – though one of our proudest achievements was opening the new Business Class (‘Affaires’ in Air France speak) lounge at Boston Logan airport.


This new lounge features a bevy of the beloved amenities, including distinct work and private areas, high-def TVs, free wifi, and the high standard of food and beverages for which Air France is renowned. Plus? We’re the only lounge in the international terminal that has windows, and actually faces the boarding gate so you can keep your eye on the aircraft.

If almost a half century of service to the Boston community didn’t already show it, building this lounge further confirms our dedication and long-term commitment to Boston and the greater New England area.

Not only do we believe that the lounge does one of the best jobs in our history of representing the style and class of our service both on-board and on the ground, but it is the largest lounge in the US (all within 90 days of making the decision to go ahead with the project). So, say ‘hello’ to your new monster, hopefully one day it might be equally as beloved as the Green Monster.

Fun insider fact: the lounge, which is a culmination of many years’ hard work, would not have come to fruition without the dedication of our hard-working Boston station manager Daniel Graf. Daniel retired this month after spending over 45 years at the company, and we couldn’t thank him enough for his hard work and so decided to pay tribute to him by dedicating this lounge in his name, officially naming it the “Graf Lounge.”
