BTW, as an update to this post, and the replies from late 2009: the response that you do not need to clear security is no longer true. If you are a through passenger on SQ25, you will deplane, walk through a corridor which has been constructed within the former concourse that extends out to B45/B46/B48, go up one flight to the second level (where Immigration is located), then around to the west, past Immigration, and back out toward the B20 pier, only on the upper level. That level is now sealed off, and a large transfer security area occupies the space. You pass through this transfer security -- no liquids in carry-ons, please -- to emerge upstairs where the Kaufmann restaurant is located. If you go back around toward the B40s, you reach the Senator Lounge, as before, and if you continue downstairs, also as before, you pass through what's left of the old concourse out to B45, B46 and the LH Business Lounge. B42 and B48 are currently under rebuild, but when complete, the entire pier will segregate arriving and transfer passengers from departing ones.

When you say no liquids, do you mean not any at all or can one take the 3-1-1 baggie (as is allowed in the US and at SIN and NRT) through security at Frankfurt?

Also, is there a separate transfer security line (SQ 25/26) at this airport for FC and business class passengers?

You can bring liquids similar to 3-1-1 regulations as you mentioned.

The transfer security is set up -- with signage -- to have a separate line for F and J pax. Whether it's manned as such is a function of how many people are transferring at one time. When I've gone through it as a passenger on SQ 25, the lines have been short, and the difference isn't significant.

^+1
the German appriciate more loyality and frequency than a non-frequent J
Furthermore, no one are elligible to use LH first class lounge unless we are flying LH or LX first.

Any updates on lounges available to SQ F pax departing for NYC?

Will be arriving from AUH on LH in J connecting to SQ26 in F to JFK & am *G with BD/TG. Thanks.

Given you're flying F, you should be fine to enter The Private Room in the F lounge.

I will be departing FRA to JFK in F on SQ26.

Oops, sorry! Read it wrong. Been a long day

I assume you'll be able to head over to the LH First Class terminal and use the facilities there.. but I've never done so myself, so hopefully someone else can confirm.

Bitterroot

You can use the LH Senator lounge above B-42 in Terminal 1 -- but keep in mind it's a hike from the C gates that SQ26 uses, and there's a security check between (unless they've done that in).

If you come in off LH, you'll probably dock at A or B anyway, so the lounge is enroute to C -- if you have the connection time...................

Thanks guys. Yes, ther are 2 hours connect time at FRA. OK, I thought it was the SEN lounge. Ouch! Is it sad? Or better than most other SEN lounge dumps Thanks.

flashware

Slightly OT but yes, I found the SEN lounge @ TXL ... average! I believe free Wifi is coming soon, though?

Bitterroot

I don't think it's in "sad" shape; it's not elegant, but there are floor-to-ceiling windows looking out to the 7-25 runways, the seats are OK, and there's lots of food.

The biggest complaint is that it's often crowded. Lots of LH short-haul J passengers get to use it because they have status. It might not be bad early in the AM. I'm usually there during SQ 25's layover, which is mid-day, and in the middle of an LH bank -- it's a mess then.

NoY

Thanks, will feedback myself very soon..should not be too crowded at 7.00am I hope....

Ok visited this morning - and it's not bad at all Fresh & bright plus virtually empty at 7.15-ish. What a hike from the SQ gate though Anyway a pleasent experience in the actual lounge ^
