Frankfurt in transit

I made my way to the transfer desk. The first/business agents were busy but the economy agent was free. It didn't take long to check in for the next 2 flights. I was then directed to the nearby Senator lounge (for *G). However, as an arriving Lufthansa first class passenger I was entitled to use the much nicer First Class lounge, so I went to gate B22 and up to the FCL.

This was the first time I've been in this specific lounge - at other times flying Lufthansa in first I have visited the A62 FCL or the First Class Terminal depending on which was easiest for me. The B22 FCL matches the high standard of the FCT. As can be seen from the menu posted above, it has the same food and drink (a rather impressive list that actually seems to have grown since my previous visit when I compared menus). It has the same nice showers, sleep room, cigar room. The wii exercise room is new. Computers in the personal business centre rooms are a welcome addition for those like me who try to travel sans laptop. The size is much less, but it is plenty big enough today with staff easily outnumbering passengers.

When I arrived I was advised my onward flight was scheduled to use a remote stand and thus I'd get a car transfer. I had a shower and then caught up on messages and some work. The bar staff were fantastic - I only had to start walking towards the bar and they'd already be pouring me another drink. One of the lounge staff had apparently checked my itinerary for she came by with another boarding pass for a flight the next day to save me checking in again.
