The Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge in T1B, the LH Business lounge in B and the one in C14-16 are one of the better ones.

I have the choice of a 1.5 hour connection at FRA or 2.5 on the way home from Africa, and so just wondering if the lounge is worth hanging out for a bit (my arrival is 5.30am) or just really nothing particularly special as lounges go and might as well be on my way.
Thanks
Thanks

Will be flying UA SFO-FRA (D class), arriving at 9:55am (probably Gate A), then connecting to DUS at 1:50pm. Any recommendations for lounges? Worth it to go to the Welcome Lounge? Panorama lounge? Goal is mainly to have good lunch. Shower would be nice, but not necessary.

The other lounges serve lunch from around 11 am or so. The panorama lounge serves different food that the other LH lounges in Fra (different caterer, me thinks).
If it's better is up for debate. Recently, I had a sandwich and a mini salad there. The salad was alright. The sandwich, not so much.
But the panorama lounge has nice tarmac views and tends to provide a bit more privacy than the LH C lounges in FRA.

Welcome lounge is best for showers. It only serves breakfast as far as I know.

Connection in FRA on Lufthansa, Lounges?
I have a 3hour stopover in FRA coming up very soon and flying on a coach ticket. I have priority pass and an AMEX gold that I have been on the fence for a while now about upgrading to platinum. My concerns for my layover is that I have a nice place to relax with a shower. Are there decent enough PP lounges with a shower in FRA or is is worth upgrading my AMEX card to platinum to have access to the Lufthansa business lounge? Thanks in advance for your help! Also as an FYI, I will be in terminal 1.

In about 2 weeks will be arriving in FRA from LAX flying J will then have about a 2 hour layover before connecting TAP flight to Lisbon. I am priority member. Is the priority lounge near the TAP gates? Are any of the Lufthansa business lounges closer, Or nicer? Thanks for any advice or opinions?

The only Priority Pass Lounge in T1 is landside and LH business lounges are far more convenient and probably just as nice. There are 3 lounges to choose from so you can use whichever lounge is closest to your gate. I suggest the lounge above A26, Panorama Lounge near A25, and the lounge near A13 in that order.

I thought flights to India used C gates but BLR flights seem to depart from Z gates.

I'm curious to understand if the FCT or FCL B would be more busy in the 17hr-22hr evening time period? I also want to be assured I would be offered a car transfer from FCL B for a flight to JNB currently slated for gate Z69 tomorrow evening.
I'm quite familiar with the FCT and FCL A but have never been to FCL B. I believe I would enjoy the tarmac views of FCL B over the FCT assuming it's not ridiculously crowded and I can be assured the car transfer.
