I got 5hr layover at cai airport before my lh f flight to fra. What lounge options do I got?

Nothing to write home about!!
I'd spend the time somewhere else, like the leMeridien Heliopolis which is close to the airport.

Don't know if there is something else avail for LH F, but SEN/HON/*G/C passengers are directed to Egyptair *A lounges. There are 4 of them in T3, all the same. No food, some snacks, soft drinks, no alcohol, otherwise lounge/seating is ok, free wifi.

A simple look on the LH website would have shown you all the lounge options you have.

You'll most likely be given an invitation to the MS lounge closest to your gate. Nothing sinister in that, it spreads the load across the lounges.

They are absolutely fine: as comfortable as you could expect, split into mini-zones, some with TV, others more quiet. There are refreshments - nothing special: just soft drinks, tea and coffee, with sandwiches, cheese, biscuits and cakes.

Also free wifi, a notch up on the FRA's etc of the Star empire.

The terminal itself has a number of fastfood outlets and duty-free shops.

I was very pleasently surprised at how modern and comfortable the MS *A lounges were on a recent trip. Good wi-fi, nice seating, TVs, cold drinks, decent coffe machine and nice cakes/snacks etc. Much better than others I could mention.....all good ^

I see a F lounge and C lounge on lh.com...

NoY Jun 27, 2010 10:52 am

Only tried the J lounges - all v.v. similar just different size/.shape.

Something to do with your status? :D

If you do a lounge search on lufthansa.com for "First Class" and "Cairo" you get two hits:

Airport Cairo International
Location Departure Terminal 3
Name Egypt Air STAR Alliance Business Lounge
Opening hours 24 hours

and

Airport Cairo International
Location Departure Terminal 3
Name Egypt Air STAR Alliance First Class Lounge
Opening hours 24 Hours

If you search for "HON Circle" and "Cairo" you only find

Airport Cairo International
Location Departure Terminal 3
Name Egypt Air STAR Alliance Business Lounge
Opening hours 24 hours

:confused:

I was still never in an F Lounge in CAI even when flying in F. Perhaps it is new or I didn't notice any difference?

Does it suggest it was there once but not any more?

Or that it is there but Rambuster could not find it?
