However, this rule has not been enforced and as far as we know nobody has reported being turned away as a transfer passenger meeting the above criteria.
To quote from LH's lounge access rules
This would make sense, since you have to walk from the LH terminal to the FCT, however, then why is LH allowing us access to the FCT if we are connecting from a LH F to LH J flight? LH could elevate the whole experience by givening transportation to the FCT if people want to use it, I thought the walk was OK but was a bit of a distance.
