My boss needs to have a 90 minute meeting with someone arriving on Air France, March 3, 2008 at 10:30 am. Is there a departure lounge where he can have a meeting? If so, please confirm that he will be able to access the lounge without going through security since he will not have a ticket for travel from Terminal 1.

Thank you for your help!

Hi, I and my family are arriving at Terminal 1 with quite a lot of baggages with us. Since my wife has to take care of our 2 small boys, it is only I that can carry our baggages, which should be beyond the capacity of a baggage trolley. So could you please tell me whether any baggage assistance service from T1 to a long term parking is available? Thank you so much.
