Actually it's a very short walk from T2 to T1, I coulnd't believe how easy and straight-forward it was until I did it the first time.
Follow the signs for the Lufthansa lounge, just before the stairs to the lounges you'll see a long tunnel with a moving walkway, it will take you to T1.
Less than 5 mins later you'll be airside in T1, you enter T1 next to the start of the Europier, same way back!
just a quick report, i did check this out last WE.
easy walk from T2 as described above. SAA lounge quite nice, with a serviced bar, crisps/pretzels, showers and a smoking room, but it was quite a walk in the pier to get there. but right at the entrance to that pier is BMI lounge, which I only had time to take a quick look in. not as nice as SAA, but nicer than LH BIZ.
so, if you have some time to kill and want to see s.th. new, try the T1 lounges...
NB: I was sent through security on my way back from T1 to T2, not sure if that always happens. no queue, but depends on flights coming in just before you i guess.
