This was in my US Centurion monthly email for July. I didn't see this thread before and had no idea it had been launched before now.

Centurion Members have complimentary access to Lufthansa First Class Lounge, Senator Lounges and Business Lounges in the Satellite area of T2 in Munich Airport from 6/1/18-5/31/19 and in T1 Concourse B in Frankfurt Airport from 6/1/18-3/31/19. To access the Lufthansa lounges, Centurion Member must present a government issued I.D., a same-day boarding pass showing confirmed reservation on a Lufthansa Group flight (Lufthansa, SWISS and Austrian airlines) and a valid Centurion Card. Card Members must adhere to all rules of participating lounges. Participating lounges and locations subject to change without notice. Additional guest access and fees subject to terms and conditions of participating lounges. In some Lounges the Centurion Member must be at least 18 years of age to enter without a parent or guardian. Must be of legal drinking age to consume alcoholic beverages. Please drink responsibly.

Does anyone know if you can bring a guest? If so is it free or with a fee? How about kids?

Did anyone with Platinum got an email about this? Seems that AMEX isn't really trying to promote this.

Yes.

I wonder if this promotion/marketing goes well for LH, perhaps they will start a partnership. AMEX has a partnership with SWISS, both AMEX and MC Miles and More!
For sometime I saw AMEX @ FRA promoting their products.

Yes, what's the difference between the business and Senator lounge? I was in a biz lounge in FRA a couple of years ago and all I remember was pretzels and bratwurst. Lol. Not particularly impressive (and I think less variety than the JFK business lounge).
(I've been in the FCL/FCT also, and those are amazing).

Have a trip to FRA later this year (in J), leaning away from *A and toward DL for mileage reasons (and LH's terrible hard product in J), but this could be a factor.

I have the Amex Platinum and will be flying from Berlin to Frankfurt on Lufthansa (economy), and then on to ORD on United metal (economy), all booked through Lufthansa. I'm guessing that is not good enough to get access to the business lounge?

I am not familiar with the logistics/layout of MUC T2. Is it possible to visit the First Class lounge at T2 Satellite before a Schengen flight? Or is that lounge for non-Schengen only?

Totally possible. The lounge is set up with entrances from both the Schengen and international sides. It has its own Zoll inside, and they'll hold your passport while you visit so you can also exit to whichever side you need. It's a slick setup.

Excellent! Thanks.

Any news update if they will extend the FRA access? I have flight in June.

Anyone know how the access rules apply to a centurion for F lounges when traveling with Spouse & 2 pre-teen kids? I understand there is a +1 on the Centurion, what about kids? Traveling in LH Biz inbound & outbound.

Thx.

As far as I know, there is no +1 for Centurion, that includes kids.

No +1 in F lounges. Access is only for the Centurion cardholder. Your +1 would also need to have one. Certainly no children.
