Bored of LH Senator Lounge while flying to BKK? Go and try AC Maple Leaf Lounge at FRA Airport. I went first to Senator but there was one big chaos and many people trying to find an empty seat. Then I decided to try Air Canada Lounge and surprise.... it was totally empty. I think this is the best lounge for TG flyers flying on evening TG923.

I agree. I was taken there by the TG concierge when I flew F last summer and was pleasantly surprised. The offerings are broadly comparable (although not identical) to those of the LH non-Schengen SEN lounge in B but the AC lounge is quieter especially for the evening TG flight when there are no longer any AC departure (I was on the afternoon flight but even then the AC lounge was quiet although it may also partly be because fewer people are aware of the existence of the lounge).

I'll be taking the TG923 flight next month. Is the departure gate closer to the AC lounge?

Most of the time Thai Airways takes left leg of B area (B43-B48) like on that map but last time my TG923 was departed from other side B23. AC Lounge is closer to (B43-B48). To get there after passport control go to the left, walk upstairs and follow the signs Air Canada Maple Leaf.

Oh that would be great! And where is the (closest) Senator lounge located?

Edit:
map:
"S" - Senator lounge,
"B" - Business lounge
"F" - First and HON Lounge,
"I" - Information desk

this map i took from LH, FRA websites. I just put AC and TG on that map for better explanation.

Ah ok! Is it also on the upper level like the AC lounge? I'll probably be able to check out both if they're nearby

IMHO food is marginally better in SEN. Of course there is nothing that would stop you from visiting both lounges
