It seems getting to the LH EWR lounge is effortless with a UA flight that departs from C:

You can talk your way into the EWR B concourse in order to go to the LH and SK lounges. The airside xfer bus also sometimes allows you to go over the from C. But not really worth the hassle.

Just to emphasize this, last week going to FRA, there is a cordoned off section in the EWR SEN section of the lounge with "reserved" signs on the tables and the red roses that you'll find in F. The attendant told me that for the FRA flight there is no special service but that for DUS and MUC they serve dinner at the table (for F). The lounge is small and cramped to begin with and the cordoned off area is tight. Nothing to get excited about for sure and a real shame that with 2 to 3 flights a day they don't have something better for F. C'est la vie.

EWR LH Lounge is full
This is my fourth visit this year to the LH lounge in EWR. To begin with, it is a small lounge and it has been packed all the time I've been there. Today they were sending pax to the SAS lounge opposite, but that was packed too. Is this how this lounge always is?

Is this the SEN section of the lounge or the general section? The SEN section is usually cramped but I've never been told it's full and to go elsewhere (but they may manage the numbers better in anticipation of HON/F guests).

Yes... both the LH and the SK lounge are always very crowded about 2 hours before the evening departures according to my experience. When you walk out you will see at least the three SK birds, one LH bird and one OS bird getting ready for departure in the next few hours. Assuming a generous 15% people having lounge access, we are still talking of up to 200 pax for two small lounges.

Unless I go waaaay back in my memory (when SQ was still flying EWR AMS SIN), the combined SK/LH/Austria lounge space in EWR has been and still is insufficient. Not much space left to expand on that concourse, either, so I can't really blame LH nor SK. Heck, I am quite happy that there three lounges to choose from (LH business / Senator and SK).

Yes, it's not much of a "section" either and really only meant to sit down for the eating part (which isn't great either). Not really comfortable and cramped. I try to use JFK as much as I can but some times the schedule dictates EWR.
