1) IAD - LHR - with this I know we would get Polaris Lounge access at IAD and arrival lounge access at LHR

2) IAD - EDI w/ layover in FRA: the IAD-FRA is on United metal. THe FRA - EDI is on Luftshana metal. I know we would still get Polaris lounge access at IAD but would we get Luftshana business class lounge access on our 2 ish hour layover at FRA?

I know its an extra 6k miles pp but we are leaning towards option 2 as it gets us to EDI right away as opposed to having to then take train from London to Edinburgh

If you are in business class from FRA to EDI then yes you get lounge access -- and if you are *A gold (regardless of class) you can get in to the Senator lounge -- not a huge difference but I do love their eggs....
