Air France has announced a new lounge at London-Heathrow Airport (LHR), set to open in spring 2026. Located in Terminal 4, the space will be exclusively available to La Première, Business and Flying Blue Elite Plus passengers, along with eligible customers traveling with KLM and SkyTeam partner airlines.

The new space will bring French design, comfort, and cuisine to Heathrow travelers

Air France has partnered with agency SGK Brandimage to design the lounge, which will encompass approximately 8,000 square feet and feature seating for around 150. It’ll be an elevated hospitality experience, including a bar with a selection of French champagnes and wines, and a dining space with fine French cuisine. Not only that, but spaces dedicated to spa, relaxation, and work will also give customers the choice to unwind or stay focused. Either way, passengers have a peaceful getaway in the terminal, before or after a flight.

London-Heathrow is a strategic location on Air France’s medium-haul network, where the airline will fly as many as seven daily trips this winter between London-Heathrow and Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG). From there, travelers can venture onward throughout the airline’s global network. The carrier will also begin serving London-Gatwick Airport (LGW) from March 29, 2026, with two daily trips to Paris-Charles de Gaulle.

The new lounge at LHR is part of Air France’s strategy to entice affluent leisure and business travelers, as noted by The Points Guy. In 2025, the airline has already opened a new 5,000 sq-ft lounge at Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD), debuted a refreshed lounge at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS), and renovated and grown its flagship lounge at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG).

The Obelisks of Rome: A pointed walking tour

Take a walk into history with these fascinating Roman landmarks

City, Architecture, Building

When you walk around Rome, no matter which way you turn, you are likely to see the sky pierced by an obelisk. It is a defining part of the Roman skyline. But they don’t really belong here. Rome is a city that has never been shy about borrowing greatness. Few monuments illustrate that better than its obelisks. While these towering stone needles feel quintessentially Roman today, they began life in ancient Egypt, most carved along the Nile. While there, they were associated with the sun god and served as symbols of divine favor and royal power. Today, Rome boasts thirteen ancient obelisks, more than anywhere else in the world, including Egypt itself.

Their journey to Rome began after Augustus conquered Egypt following the defeat of Antony and Cleopatra in 30 BCE. Bringing obelisks to the capital was more than an exercise in decorating the city; it was a statement of conquest. Egypt's sacred monuments had become Roman trophies, proclaiming that a new empire now enjoyed the favor of the gods. Later emperors continued importing obelisks, scattering them across circuses, temples, and public spaces.

We're well into another busy summer for European travel. But this summer, travelers have discovered the hardest part of planning a trip isn't so much choosing where to go -- it’s securing access to sought-after accommodations and experiences once in destination. According to a recent summer travel trends report by Classic Vacations, the leading luxury travel advisor resource, Europe continues to lead summer bookings with strong demand across Italy, Greece, France, Spain, and Portugal.

Within these destinations, premium room categories and suites are increasingly booking 9–12 months in advance. Sought-after experiences such as hard-to-secure restaurant reservations, private transfers and guides, yacht charters, beach clubs, and iconic attractions are also filling months ahead of travel dates, creating a new reality where advance planning and local expertise are becoming increasingly essential.
