In April, we booked Economy Class (S) RT tickets to Croatia.
I'm wondering about our return to USA, is our Gov. going to get rid of the Test requirement soon?
What if we Test positive and cannot return to the USA as scheduled?
Do we lose our ticket money and have to rebook for $$$ on short notice, whenever we test negative?

LH wouldn’t be responsible.

It looks like I will have a VERY long layover in Frankfurt.
Star Alliance Business class flight:
USA to Frankfurt landing first thing, 13 hour layover, Frankfurt to Asia at night due to flight changes/cancelations.
(I strongly prefer not to leave the airport.)
Is Lufthansa still selling access to the First Class Lounge? Link?
Best Lufthansa Lounges to kill a lot of time?
(I am *A Gold)
Thanks!

Either Senator B or Z, just depends on who is operating your departing flight.

I'd be looking into a day room option at a hotel (assuming you're able to enter Schengen) landside.
If you're arriving from the US in the morning in FRA, your body clock will be just around midnight. Staying awake in the flight, then proper "day" sleep in FRA on the ground, waking up sometime in the afternoon, and then enjoying the lounges properly, being fully refreshed. Lounges are ok, but not for such a long time. And even a basic day room (proper bed!) gives you a much better bed (and sleep) than any aircraft seat will.

You are right - a nap + maybe a workout in a private room is not a bad way to spend the day.

Hi. Is there any way I can force booking engine at Swiss website to only search for flights on Swiss? It keeps forcing me various itineraries on LH/OS (which I don't wish to fly on at this time), while the ones that would be possible on LX simply aren't offered, presumably because take a bit more time. Is there any workaround or do I need to call?

Honestly easier if you just use Google Flights, specifying Swiss as the only airline. Then when you move onto the buy stage, the website should offer you a direct link to book on Swiss.

FRA Irrops / EU261
Currently in Frankfurt on a long connection due to a missed connection/rebook because of delays at origination airport. I am booked YYZ-FRA-MAN, original arrival into MAN was supposed to be ~10:45am and now I'm scheduled to arrive in MAN around ~5:30pm. The YYZ-FRA LH471 flight seemed to have been delayed because of late arriving flight yesterday (May 7th) of FRA-YYZ LH470. Was there anything out of the ordinary at FRA yesterday? I can't seem to get any delay details on ExpertFlyer for either LH471 or LH470 yesterday.
Also, if I'm planning to claim EU261, will this delay fall under the short distance delay because of FRA-MAN or does the whole journey apply? EIther way, I'm over 3hrs delayed for arrival.
Thanks!

Thank you! I submitted via the LH website today. Should I have received an email acknowledgement of receipt with Feedback ID? Or do these submissions go into a "black hole" until they respond at some point?
