LH Lounge access with silver card
Hi. I am bmi diamond club silver.
If I'm flying Lufthansa on a BMI code share
flight (there is a BMI flight number on my ticket but it says "operated by lufthansa"),
will I be allowed in the Lufthansa lounges at Manchester / Munich.
Cheers
TJ

Are there dedicated LH lounges at MAN? If there is, it is unlikely you can use them as it is normally restricted to *A Gold. You may be able to use he bmi lounge.

Check the bmi website. You can use the LH Business lounge in FRA on LH or bmi tix with a bmi*Silver, but not the Senator lounge. Accordingly, i think that LH allow bmi *Silver access but without a guest.
Having just spent 5 hours in the Senator lounge in FRA with my wife and two kids - it is absolutely nothing special...stick with the bmi lounge at MAN if you can.

As long as your ticket has a BD code on it, and the flight is operated by LH, and it's between Germany and the UK, then the bmi lounge at MAN will let you in. LH and BD use the Globeground lounge (a contract lounge) for international flights, but they are usually pretty aware of the policy and let you in.

A little harsh, I think. While it is not as nicely decorated or as spacious as most bmi lounges, the food selection far exceeds that offered by bmi. And they have showers (not that that's likely to be relevant for short haul).</font>

Overall, for the Senator lounge, I thought that they would have tried harder, especially seeing the BA levels of competition. Still, it was infinitely better than the terminal
