Best F class lounge at LHR when on TG917 ?
As the UA F class shuts at 6pm is the LH lounge F class better than the UA J longe or the AC lounge.
Basically best lounge to use when on TG 917 in F ?

As noted, only UA and SQ have F areas in their LHR T2 lounges and these are only open for their flight hours. However, you can only access them if TG has a commercial agreement with those two airlines, and as you note, the UA lounge itself closes early since all its flights have departed by late afternoon. (Not sure if the SQ lounge is open yet.) I would also expect TG flights to depart from the pier used where the UA, AC and SQ lounges are located and not the main terminal gate where the LH lounge is located and from which mainly intra-European flights are gated, so you'd have a long walk.

as *A F passenger you have access to other F lounges with clearly defined exceptions (like HON/F LH lounges in FRA/MUC, HON/F LX in ZRH/GVA, HON/F OS in VIE, TG Spa in BKK). Those in LHR are not among the exceptions so they have to let you in during their opening hours.

A TG F pax can absolutely use the United F lounge when departing LHR.
There is as yet no SQ lounge at LHR.

Had a brain fade LH would not have a F lounge at LHR as all their flights go via Germany & they do not have F within Europe.
I always used the SQ F class lounge at LHR T3.
As for UA I used the J lounge last time as I only ever use TG 917.
Was not great.Did not use AC lounge as the TG duty manager told me it was worse.
I told him why was there not a F class lounge open for TG 917 he of course could not tell me.
I think it is unacceptable that there is not a F class lounge open for TG 917.
That goes for SQ too who keep saying their F class lounge will open.

I doubt this is correct!

That's incorrect. Departing international F pax on any *A airline can access any *A F lounge with just a handful of exceptions (LH/LX FCL and FCT, SQ Private Room, TG Spa). Suggest actually reading the rules before posting this nonsense. Star Alliance Lounge Access Policy.
A TG F pax can absolutely use the United F lounge when departing LHR.
There is as yet no SQ lounge at LHR.

Seen this.How does the Lufthansa Senator Lounge compare with the J UA lounge.
I see it is open to 10pm is it worth the walk ?

If by "commercial agreement" you meant "an agreement to keep the lounge open later for pax departing on TG917" then that's a good clarification.
