But now I will have intercontinental flight, with connection in Frankfurt. Both flights are Lufthansa, so I took opportunity and registered to Miles and More program, got temporary ID... and now I am wondering what I am going to do for 6 hours with 2 kids (5&6 years).
I found out that this lounge is best rated, but I have no clue do I have access to it. On their site I read that this lounge is for Lufthansa Intercontinental Incoming flights. Does it means I can access lounge just when coming from USA? Is there any kind of fee if I can't qualify? Any tips what is better to do before flight, or everything can be done when I arrive?
Return flight have 10 hrs wait time, and I think we are going to visit city... I saw there are some Airport Tours, might be interesting to kids... but I don't think I can find enough interesting things for 10 hours?
Thanks
It all depends on what class of service you are flying. As I understand you have no M&M status, you can access the welcome lounge only if you are traveling in business AND incoming from an intercontinental flight with LH.
As for the other LH lounges, similar thing, if you don't have status you can access the business lounges only with a C ticket. There are some other possibilities if you have American Express Platinum, with Priority Pass.
You can get a day room at the Sheraton Airport, connected by bridge to the terminal, for a decent rate, so you and your family can rest better than in a lounge.
With 10 hours you have plenty of opportunities to visit Frankfurt, I am sure that some other FTers will be happy to offer advice
