I'm surprised BUD hasn't gotten a M&M member airline lounge up until now given the immense amount of LHG+M&M airline flights (on most days; 5 daily LH to MUC, 6 daily LH to FRA, 3 daily LX to ZRH, 3 daily OS to VIE, 3 daily SN to BRU, 2 daily EW to DUS, 2 daily EW to STR, 1 daily EW to HAM, 1 daily EW to CGN, 6 daily LO to WAW, 1 daily LO to KRK, ..., and that's just the Schengen stuff excluding LO to LCY, long haul, etc... That's around 40 a day.

The Platinum lounge is pretty much always stuffed with SENs, I'm sure LHG is close to if not past the point where operating their own lounge (and raking in some PP + OAL lounge guest revenue) would be more profitable than shelling out for every *G on their flights.

I'm also wondering if FTL on a *A flight will have access to the LO lounge, given how that's the rule in WAW. Either way, nice improvement.
