I don't, sorry. I don't have a platinum card so not familiar with the policies on that one.

Np thanks. Would love to hear from anyone who has tried to access the LH business lounge as plat + guest.

Yes was renewed today for another year.

I arrived FRA today and was met at the jetway by a LH rep and informed I could use the LH First Class (Senator) lounge during my connection.

First Class or Senator? FAR from the same thing.

Slowly Amex is justifying the higher AF. Great benefit for those who fly LH or S* through FRA. Hope they add something to CDG for Delta/SkyTeam lounge access. Have a trip coming up and will be connecting there.

Got a chance to visit the Business lounge by the entrance to the A gates. Really great lounge and capacity. Good view/natural lighting, food options, and even beer taps.

As a Centurion cardholder I (we) are entitled to Lufthansa First Class, Senator and Business lounges.

I'm aware - used the benefit many times. I just found the invite to the "First/Senator" lounge weird...as if anyone would want to go to the Senator lol

PS - how did LH know in advance you have a Centurion card so they could meet you?

while I love the LH FC ground (and air ) experience, it sure ain't worth it to fly thru FRA to (TLV) and suffer in what is basically Y for 4 hours.

Who offers a better experience between FRA and TLV?

I'd rather "suffer" LH than go hours out of my way to connect....unless you're actually originating elsewhere...and in that case, yeah, connecting in Europe to TLV makes little sense...but then again, this threat wasn't about TLV was it?

Ah awesome, that explains it...and reaffirms that in my experience Lufthansa has amazing CRM.

I'd be tempted to go back to Centurion Travel, but it's hard to turn down the triple points w Chase Sapphire :/

the LH lounges in MUC are awesome. been there w/ *G, great food, shower, and nap room. the one in the satellite terminal is newer. overall MUC lounges are less crowded than the ones in FRA
