Yes, I think you're right. Better enjoy straight way the SEN lounge at gate A.
I will save the AC MALL for the next trip via FRA.

It's not just the distance. In order to go from a C arrival gate to the MLL in B, and later to the SEN Lounge in A, you will have to clear security twice. It is possible to go from the MLL in B departures to Pier A departures but the route may not be straightforward.

Well, the best apparently is just go straight to gate A and enjoy the senator lounge there

Cheers

That's what I did, my flight left from gate A 28, I've had a nice shower at the Lufthansa Business lounge at gate A26 (very nice shower) and then I moved at Senator Lounge at gate A50 ( it's 7-8 minutes walk from the business lounge at gate A 26) and I enjoyed some breakfast there.

Personally, in Shenghen area, I would choose the Business Lounge for a shower and then move to Senator Lounge to enjoy better food options :P

The A26 Business Lounge has nice showers because it is a former First Class Lounge and they have kept the showers as well as a couple of nap rooms.

With under 2 hours, I would just pick the LH lounge that's closest to my departure gate, with a slight preference for a SEN lounge.

X-Fare is Economy. So none, unless you got *G status (SEN, in that case)
Polaris would allow entry to the LH Arrival lounge, so with a morning arrival, you could visit the lounge there.

Please note that flights to TLV are currently heavily restricted or outright cancelled, so if you're planning to fly in the next weeks, better double check if you are actually allowed to fly. Or your flight still exists..

Thank you... I will definitely give it a trial: i can see there are LH Bus. Lounge at B-West, A13,... and will check them out . I do see the TLV restricted, my fly is after April, hope that thing will improve by then.
