Lufthansa Lounge Access
I've just booked an award flight on United Airlines for a journey from MUC-SIN, the entire booking is in First (ie paid miles for First).
The journey is a bit circuitous because of some unforeseen circumstances, but I will have to take a MUC-FRA flight on Lufthansa before flying onwards to Singapore. Although I'll be sitting in Business on my LH flight from MUC-FRA, can I still access the FCLs in MUC and FRA?
For reference, my onwards flight from FRA is with Thai in First, to Bangkok. If I can't use the FCL in FRA, what lounge should I use instead?
Thanks!

Welcome to FT, firedude6!
Where is your flight originating? Are you just flying MUC-FRA-BKK-SIN or are you connecting in MUC from somewhere else in F?
If you are flying MUC-FRA on LH in C and FRA-BKK on TG in F, you cannot access the FCL in MUC or FRA. You can access the Senator Lounge in FRA which is designated as the First Class Lounge for *A carriers. In MUC you can only access the Business Lounge with your Business BP to FRA (unless you are *G), but you might be able to access the Senator Lounge because you are connecting to TG in F. YMMV.

More lounge questions
Next week I leave from DTW-FRA in LH first, layover 10hrs, then continue FRA-MUC in LH biz, about 1hr layover, then lastly MUC-JNB in SA biz.
Will I have access to the FRA First Class Lounge 1) on arrival and 2) If I depart the terminal to check out downtown then return to the terminal?
For the lounge I am hoping to get a shower and perhaps a bit to eat/drink.
Thank you.

You should also be able to use the FCL in MUC. When you arrive from FRA go straight to the FCL by gate G21, go through passport control in the lounge and leave on level H.

Yes and yes, as long as it is all on the same day (of arrival). I suggest you go to the FCT on your return from downtown.

Will the FCL allow leaving of a carryon bag?
Any tips for a day trip to Frankfurt?

That said, which is better the arrivals lounge or the FCL?

So what's your itinerary? DTW-FRA in LH F, FRA-MUC in LH C and MUC-JNB in SA C? Or has it changed? If you arrive in LH F, you can still use the FCL or FCT (if you have a connecting flight on LH/LX) as an arrival lounge. The FCL is much nicer than the Arrival Lounge.

Do they not enforce this?
