As we are both flying Business and should gain access to the Lounge, will I be able to invite one of my friends and pay for the other to join us in the lounge at EWR?
Also, we have a 2.5 hour layover in FRA, how would this arrangement work out?
Thank you for your suggestions!
For EWR, the lounge is on the smaller side for a lounge, so it can fill up before the flights leave. FRA are larger, but always appear filled when I am there.
I think of Lufthansa lounges as similar to being in a Panera Bread with a buffet and some booze. It is better than hanging at the gate, but not necessarily better than being at a restaurant in the airport unless you want to eat a lot and drink alot. There are some airport lounge related websites that show pictures of the inside of these lounges if you are really curious.
