Sebby Fung, a YouTuber, has praised the Air France Lounge at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for offering what he describes as the best food of any airport lounge. In a video posted on February 9th, Fung highlighted the lounge's premium ingredients, seasonal dishes, live cooking stations, and fine dining atmosphere.

"This might be controversial, but I'd argue the Air France Lounge at LAX has the best food of any lounge at the airport," said Fung, according to YouTube. "Premium ingredients, seasonal dishes, and even live cooking stations. It feels more like a real restaurant than an airport buffet—easily in my top five lounges for food. Having been to over 100 lounges, I can say this one stands out—top-tier food and an actual fine dining vibe."

According to airfrance.us, the Air France Lounge at LAX provides travelers with a luxurious experience. It operates daily from 9:00 AM to 11:30 PM and offers amenities such as free Wi-Fi, access to local and international newspapers via the Air France Press App, a bar serving various beverages, an open kitchen area, a self-service buffet, a relaxation area, showers, and a phone booth. The lounge is also accessible to passengers with reduced mobility.

Culinary offerings are emphasized as a highlight of the lounge. According to airfrance.us, seasonal flavors and dishes are prepared on-site by chefs in an open kitchen that creates an ambiance reminiscent of a Parisian brasserie. The bar offers champagne, spirits, refined cocktails, beers, and mocktails in a modern setting. Additionally, in partnership with Clarins, the lounge provides three facial treatments—"Anti Jetlag," "Instant Detox," and "Focus Regard"—available daily from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM.

Fung reviewed the Air France Lounge at LAX and remarked on its extensive features: "A 12,000-square-foot space with showers, spa treatments, and relaxation rooms—it’s a full experience, not just a waiting area." He further commented on the atmosphere by saying that "Air France nailed the ambiance."

According to Air France's website, the airline operates daily flights between Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) and Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Eligible passengers can access premium services at LAX through its exclusive Air France Lounge.
