Why we ranked it here

La Première accepts fewer passengers in a day than most business class lounges see in an hour — that exclusivity is the point. It functions as a private club for Air France's best customers, with a Michelin-starred kitchen, private suites that feel more spa than lounge, and a level of personalised service that begins well before departure. For the quality of the food and wine experience alone, it belongs at the top of any ranking.
