- Camp outside to ensure you are one of the first to enter the FCT when it opens.
- Or better still get a SEN- or FTL to camp out for you.

-Enter and exit Germany a couple of times in each one of your multiple stopovers in FRA throughout the day, in order to sample the Arrivals lounge.
-Complain that their shower rooms are too claustrophobic compared to the FCLs and that no duckies were provided for your comfort.
-Complain that the duckies are farmed and not the original ones. Much like everything on LH F.
-Ask for seat blocking to be activated in your couch while in the FCT.
-Grab at least 50 free T-Mobile internet passes and sell them to the plebes outside a SEN lounge. Sell the wasserdischt ones at a premium on e-Bay.
-Find at least 3 corked bottles of wine (you have to sample at least 200 bottles). Duly report and complain.

-Be sure to tell the other passengers they were idiots for paying 8.000 EUR for their FRA/ORD flight when they could have routed via Doha and received real first class service, an extra 10000 miles, and another 9 hours of the experience.

I'm afraid this is the most serious thread of this forum in years! ^ 
Dude, how come I missed this one! 
I guess this thread could be renamed as:
- Plan an overnight stay in ZRH/FRA/MUC in order to be at the lounge door at opening hour.
I guess this thread could be renamed as:
All you can eat / drink with 1000 EUR max!!

Rambuster , great thread , we must all be nuts.
If the PA for some reason would not fulfill this demand, make sure to inform her that you are to arrive 10 minutes after any body else to the limo departure area , and while you are at it , make a serious complaint about the very slow elevators .
