(2) Flight is SFO-FRA-DXB with 4+ hours in FRA
All things equal, I'd rather keep the SWU but the 4 hour layover scares me. Should I keep the SWU and simply waste away in the Senator lounge?
I would not burn the SWU. Keep it.
The key is to first eat at the Senator lounge and fill up. Then go to the Business lounge, which is much more spacious and relax over there. The Senator lounge is cramped beyond belief, despite its being the "higher tier" lounge. ^
