ditto that, but if you'll indulge me, I'll tell you which lounge did impress me, and that was the LH FCL (not FCT) at FRA

We were in transit BHX-FRA-MCO. Arrived late morning and the place was close on deserted. Wife took the baby off for a bath (early start so she was still in PJs), waiter came over, immediately turned the TV showing CNN to some cartoon channel for my son.

I said to him "do you have a code for the.." and before I could get any further he produced a t-mobile card from his inside jacket pocket for me to use.

Service was absolutely 5* - drinks kept topped up and some excellent food on the go, plus huge picture windows overlooking the airport IIRC. I'm sure the big winner was the fact the place was so quiet, but it was absolutely spot on. Better than the equivalent FCL at MUC.
