Air France opens Clarins Spa in New York – JFK Lounge

Building on a partnership spanning nearly two decades, Air France and Clarins have once again elevated the premium travel experience with the launch of a dedicated Clarins Spa at the Air France JFK Terminal 1 lounge. This exclusive amenity is available to La Première, Business Class, and Flying Blue Elite Plus travelers, setting a new benchmark for airport wellness in New York. 

The Clarins Spa features two elegant private treatment suites, staffed by expert Clarins therapists. Guests can indulge in a complimentary 20-minute facial, tailored for both men and women, expertly designed to reduce travel fatigue and foster deep relaxation. 

Three bespoke facial options are available: ‘Detox Time’, ‘Jet Lag Relief’, and ‘Eye-Must’. La Première guests enjoy an extended 30-minute session and access to an exclusive ‘Relax and Reset’ ritual, curated solely for the airline’s most discerning clientele. 

Spanning 30 square meters, the spa welcomes Air France’s transatlantic passengers each day from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. Treatments are bookable at the Clarins reception on a first-come, first-served basis, while La Première guests benefit from a dedicated reservation hotline for seamless access.

The JFK lounge underwent a complete transformation in 2018, now offering a refined ambiance with amenities such as rainfall showers, tranquil relaxation zones, and a brasserie-inspired dining area where travelers can savor elevated French cuisine. La Première passengers are treated to a secluded VIP enclave and personalized maître d’hôtel service, underscoring Air France’s commitment to bespoke hospitality. 

Clarins Spa services are also available at Paris–Charles de Gaulle’s Terminal 2E (halls K, L, and M) and Terminal 2F. Additionally, Clarins luxury skincare products enhance the amenity kits provided to premium cabin guests in-flight. 

For the 2024/2025 winter season, Air France operates up to nine daily flights linking Paris and New York, including select services flown by Delta Air Lines. The non-stop Paris–Charles de Gaulle to New York–Newark Liberty route continues to offer travelers greater flexibility and choice.
