Mice in the lounge

I am sat in the lounge in Frankfurt, A. I have just seen a mouse run across the floor. Seriously, ...?

It's just the same as with FCT users sporting tracksuits: Don't judge a book by its cover - the mouse might have been totally entitled to lounge use for holding status or flying in the appropriate class of service or both.

I mean, in times where wolves can head airlines...

I don't like you discriminating against mice. Are you a cat or something?

Dear Lufthansa,

I am sat in the business lounge in the A area of Frankfurt Airport. I am astounded however by having just seen a mouse run across the floor. The fact that vermin is in the lounge is bad enough, but another passenger tells me they have seen this before. It makes me wonder what the kitchen environment is like, and the cleanliness of that. If these are the standard you have in the business lounge, it makes me wonder about what other standards are being overlooked. Hygiene? Standards on board? Safety? Engine checking?

As a 'premium' airline, what is premium about this? I am disgusted.

Respectfully

IC

This is only business class lounge.... in the SEN lounge do they have Cats, and in the First is there Dogs? Does the level in the foodchain of the animal vary according to price of the ticket and status you may have?

What's wrong with a nice, tiny little thing scared out of its mind, hiding behind the furniture?

Personally I feel sorry for it, even more so considering it's stuck in a FRA lounge.

No need for a mouse. My MacBook is equipped with a track-pad.
But for the PCs in the SEN-Lounge with that crappy keyboard and trackpad they may be quite usefull.

Finally we have mice in FRA !
Why should only the US airlines have vermin in their lounges?

I hope the mouse was in the C or SEN lounge and not FCL ?
(Only rats are eligible for FCL/FCT...sometimes they are disguised in suits and shout into mobiles!)

What I'm wondering is how the mouse got that far into the airport. Security in FRA seems pretty thorough. At least I always seemed to get stopped.

He/she passed the Security check because there was no metal on him.

So that's where the AMS lounge mice went. Not just the FF community ditched AFKL, the mice also went over to where the grass (or the cheese...) is greener.

Just coming back from Vietnam - is dog a new menu item on the FCT menu?
