No more FCT access for connecting passengers? [This policy is not in place!]
Just have read an email from LH to their registered travel agents (eXperts eXpress).
LH is introducing the new FCL in area B and adds that the FCT will only be for passengers that are starting their journey in FRA. Here is the original text:
"Ab Frühjahr 2009 steht Lufthansa First Class Gästen eine neue, exklusive First Class Lounge in Frankfurt zur Verfügung. Sie befindet sich im Flugsteig B und ersetzt die beiden bisherigen kleineren First Class Lounges B-West und B-Mitte. First Class Reisende können hier erstmals die Annehmlichkeiten eines „First Class Spa - in Cooperation with Babor“ - geniessen.
Die neue First Class Lounge Lounge bietet den selben exklusiven Komfort wie das First Class Terminal. Dieses ist künftig nur noch für First Class Gäste vorgesehen, die Ihre Reise ab Frankfurt beginnen. "
Does that mean, that LH is implementing the rumors of the past (no access for connecting pax, capacity controlled limited access for connecting pax) now officially?
If that is true, they will need the shuttle bus from chkin-area A to the FCT only for passengers that arrive by DB (not from ZWS or QKL on LH) to FRA.
What happens, if arriving on a seperate PNR?
Does anybody have more information about that issue so far?
