Lufthansa Group Lounge Situation in DEL
I am flying DEL-FRA in a few weeks, and I was wondering if anyone had experience with the lounge situation at the new airport. Is there sufficient space that I'll be able to relax in advance of my 2:30 am flight?

At the moment the "lounge" is a place with seats and food but no toilets and it was quite full when I flew out on friday night. It was nicer to walk to the gates and there there are thousands of seats and some nice sleeper seats. You'd get more peace and quiet doing that.
Everything went smoothly even though the terminal had only been open two days. Lots of shops were still not stocked though and had empty shelves. The food court was open though and had several places to eat which is a major advance over the old terminal which I think rated as the worlds worst (perhaps last place tie with MNL).

I flew out Friday morning - its an ITC run lounge which is comfortable, has drinks but no food. The worst of it is the toilets which are not open on the lounge level. I also agree that the gate area has abetter sense of space but no free drinks

Photos of Terminal 3
Here are some photos inside the new terminal. Nothing that different to HKG or BCN but somewhat of an improvement on the old terminal.

Hi,
Flew out of DEL on Saturday morning and LH biz & status pax were invited into the ITC welcome lounge. Nothing special, lounge had sufficient space, drinks, food (sandwiches, cakes, fruits, samosas). However, I found the lounge not well organized (get coffee cups in one place walk over to coffee machine then walk somewhere else to get sugar & milk etc.
I would compare offers & quality to typical biz lounge, not worth spending a lot of time there.
Did the other fellow travellers also recognize that the T3 in Del, though very new, already looks a bit run-down (broken tiles, damaged walls, loose wall fittings etc.)?
regards,
l22barne

... any improvement?
Hey fellow FTs,
Merry Christmas (or Happy Holidays if you prefer),
Will be flying DEL(T3)-VIE with OS on early 27th of December and I'm wondering if there's any point in going to the airport earlier to enjoy the lounge? Situation doesn't seem to be too optimistic from what I read above, but MAYBE there was an improvement? Any recent good experiences or shall I rather stay at the hotel bar as long as possible? Need to get well "prepared" before enjoying 767 Y.
And an usual topic - what are the odds to get an op-up on that route this time of the year? Any guesses?
Thanks in advance and enjoy your weekend!

Green lounge
Hey there,
looks like there was an improvement! After checking-in for OS DEL-VIE we got invitations to GREEN LOUNGE. Not completely separated from the rest of the terminal (however on the 1st floor, away from the crowd).
Basic selection of drinks:
Together with the basic snacks, dairy products and few rolls. I know, I know, nothing fancy, but well enough for situations like a following one:
(check out Guangzhou delay ...)
we spent there like 3 hours, was worth it.

It was decent. I used it a couple of weeks ago. There are (theoretically) two separate sections for F and J, but at the moment it is being used as one big lounge. Food was okay. Shrink wrapped sandwiches, some soup, and two hot snacks (cottage cheese and chicken). Wine was Indian wine. (Sula or something. Did not partake.) A few computers, and a quite decent selection of magazines too. Hard to find a seat around midnight!
Toilets are shared with the also new SQ lounge next door.
