Air France Closed Its Paris Lounge Sauna After Passengers Got Too Comfortable [Roundup]

News and notes from around the interweb: Air France Closes Paris Lounge Sauna After Too Many Passengers Were Using It For Sex I went back to the entrance and asked one of the lounge managers whether the closure was temporary. No. He explained, as delicately as possible, that passengers had been “doing things in there that they should not have” and Air France ultimately decided to close the sauna permanently. Ted Cruz declares the new Delta Austin – Paris flight is the only Austin flight to Europe, because Amsterdam, London and Frankfurt don’t count since they aren’t Cancun. Passengers absolutely love it when a captain comes out and tells them what’s going on – simultaneously takes accountability for a situation, makes them feel like someone’s in control rather than leaving them feel powerless, and gives them confidence that good decisions are being made even when a situation is rough. This is how a professional airline Captain gets it’s done. Spoke calmly, without bravado, but with natural leadership. Explained what happened & what’s going to happen. I suspect coupled with years at @AmericanAir , prior military command. IMO. pic.twitter.com/U4zlWNKacg — Just an old Marine (@needtobuild) August 14, 2026 Pivot to premium @AmericanAir what the heck is this for an overseas flight 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/PzSLjWAOwj — Em (@emmy_kane) August 14, 2026 We all need hobbies.

Holly and I were in line at a Starbucks at LAX right by gate 43 in Terminal 4, before a five hour flight to New York City. We placed our order, and our food was ready within 20 minutes, but our drinks were not. A very kind @AmericanAir flight attendant named Brian (who wasn’t working our flight), saw that we needed to board and that our drinks weren’t out. He offered to wait 20 more minutes (!!!) knowing that the door would still be open and give them to the gate agent to bring to us. We had just settled into our seats (having been pleasantly allowed to move up to an exit row— another kindness), accepting the fact that our over-priced airport Starbucks lattes would be lost, when lo and behold, the gate agent came walking down the aisle with our drinks!
