Do you plan to close any lounges due to Covid-19?
SkyTeam lounges are dependent on flight operations in each location. The situation is constantly evolving. Adjustment to hours and amenities can be expected as flight schedules change.

What cleaning procedures are taking place in SkyTeam lounges?
We have intensified our cleaning procedures and remain vigilant in keeping all of our lounges safe and clean. All surface areas are frequently and thoroughly cleaned with the appropriate, airport approved products in line with local regulations and requirements. The staff throughout our lounges are fully aware and trained to do their job with safety for guests and employees as their number one priority.

What specific measures are SkyTeam taking in maintaining clean lounges?
We have increased the frequency of cleaning hard surfaces, food and beverage areas, and potential customer and/or employee contact points at all of our lounges. Hand sanitizer is available at reception desks as well as across various locations throughout the lounges.

  • Food services have been reduced in all lounges, with limited buffet items on offer. Made-to-order hot food items are available and/or light snack services. This allows for continued freshens while reducing waste.
  • We are monitoring the number of travelers in any one lounge at a time. This allows for space between guests.
  • In London Heathrow, the Clarins Spa has been closed until the start of April. This will be re-evaluated in due course.
