Yes.
Lounge is in a different physical concourse than departure gate.
Checkin is always a mess.
Staff are rudest in Lufthansa system that I have met. Actually the only city in the world where I can sincerely criticize the Lufthansa front line staff.
And why do I still fly them to DEN?
Because the other choice is BA which has a terrible connection on the return trip to VCE. Or LX via ORD which means losing 4 hours in each direction. So- love it or leave it. And I am not leaving yet.

Glad I could help, and thanks a ton for all your hard work on this forum.
Is it official that the SEA route is losing F class, or is that just rumors at this point?

First Class Product tool mistaken today.
Even yesterday it was showing new F for the 458, and still is (perhaps it's not updated even after the AC is switched).
http://www.lufthansa.com/us/en/First-Class-Product showing new F for LH458 today, but fligtradar.com shows old F is flying that route today.

See NRs tip in the first post:
Lufthansa's flight status page now tells you if flights in the next 5 days will have new F or not. Go to Flight Status, enter the flight number or flight route and select the date. Click Display Flight Status. On the next screen select Additional options, then Flight details. If the aircraft scheduled to fly on the day has new F you'll see "Neue/New First Class".
