Lounge access question - as noted in my previous post, I'm flying economy from BSL-MUC and business from MUC-ORD. I only have an hour layover in MUC but despite reports of how efficient MUC is for connecting, I doubt I'll have time to stop in a lounge. Will I have access in BSL to the contract lounge even if my business ticket is MUC-ORD? Thanks in advance.

Long story short, my husband and I will be flying from FRA to TXL on Lufthansa after arriving via AA. Due to changing our AA flight we are ending up with a lot more time to kill in FRA, Because it is a short flight and was very pricey I opted to buy Classic Economy. I can purchase lounge access from Loungebuddy to some lounges. Any advise on which lounge would be the most convenient?
e are both Priority Pass via AMEX Plat. If none of these work I can spend €150 to upgrade each of us, which I would rather not do. I've never had to navigate FRA but heard it can be bewildering. Any advice would be appreciated.

I would, in order, investigate a day room at the Sheraton, a train to Berlin, changing your flight to TXL (even last minute, I'm assuming it's two separate tickets, just ask at check in).

You can change an eco classic ticket for 70€ and/or bid for an upgrade starting at 70€ for a domestic leg. Lufthansa will also sell you lounge access at the entrance. A day room at the sheraton, HGI or Hilton opposite the Terminal will be around 80-90€.

So, long shot here but worth a try.
im going on a weekend break with my best friend in a few months. We will be meeting at Frankfurt airport and going to another European destination, we have a 6 hour connection.
i have Senator and he has no status. We will both be flying Economy.
I know we can use the Senator lounge no issue... but I have the option to get 1x First Class Lounge voucher using my select miles from last year. Is there any way I can get both of us into the first class lounge?

Those lounges are alla marked "non-schengen" so you won't have access to any of them before your TXL flight. At 80$ a pop it would be quite the waste of money as well.

Thank you both so much!

Hello,
Sorry for the very embarrassing question, but I cannot find the answer anywhere (I have been looking online for hours).
I would like to know precisely how are status miles calculated as a function of distance (departure/destination) and booking class (as of 2019).
I am either very bad with google, or the information is very well hidden.
There is plenty of information for award miles, but nothing for status miles. I remember seeing a few years ago the booking class multiplicator table, but I cannot find it anymore.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Status miles are distance based, fixed amount intra EU but actual distance all other routes, Y = distance J x 2 F x 3
