It’s strange that I can no longer find this exception listed on Lufthansa’s website—did their detailed lounge access policy disappear?
it is not on the Lufthansa site because it is not applicable to Lufthansa ... it is applicable to EW. It is still listed as a benefit on the United page for EW and still limited to LH lounges only ... no LX/OS/SN etc. lounges
