Love the BOM-MUC First Class of LH. Have therefore switched to another airline - but that is not the same as LH

Earlier I used to fly BOM-FRA-BOM and switched to BOM-MUC-BOM when they stopped 1st on the BOM-FRA sector. Now they have First only on LH flights from Delhi. It makes no sense to first fly to Delhi to catch a LH flight.
Strangely, the maximum visas issued each year for Germany is from Mumbai, not Delhi. But, LH has FC only in their flights from Delhi.

You could always fly LX (Swiss) via ZRH - you might like their First class lounge even more.
Fairly sure you could route such ticket to include MUC - ie, BOM-ZRH-MUC-DUS, which would allow you access to the FCL in MUC as well (and vice versa and the return)

I have a little over 2.5 hours in FRA coming off of a LH SEA-FRA connecting to LH MUC in business. If I am reading correctly, most likely this flight will be out of the A pier for Schengen flights.
Is it possible to go to the B area to visit the Senator lounge there/will I have ample time? Is the timing sufficient if possible, to arrive, go to B and then clear immigration to A? Otherwise I can just end up in the LH biz lounge in A. I only can obtain access to the senator lounge in T1-B, so this is why I am asking.

1. Too long travel time. At age 78y that will be a punishment.
2. ZRH-MUC would most likely be in Business Class only; so access to FCL of LH at MUC will be doubtful.
Basically LH should re-start FC in their flights from Mumbai, India's financial capital. The Schengen Visas issued by German Consulate in Mumbai is around 51,500 per year as against only 37,000 by the German Embassy in New Delhi. But because Delhi is the political capital of India, LH has FC in their flights from Delhi. Sad. Just have to live with it.
LH is losing 4 regular FC passengers of Mumbai.

You can still do BOM-ZRH-DUS which I expect will not take much longer than BOM-MUC-DUS.

There is a thread on connecting in FRA here with good information on where you might arrive.

I've got 2 questions about HON circle miles
1. Air Canada / United operated flight on a LH / LX flight number with a 'whatever airline' ticket...will it earn HON Circle miles?
2. Air Canada / United operatored flight on a Air Canada / United flight number with a LH / LX Ticket... will it earn HON Circle miles?
Basically, where do I need to be careful when earning HON circle miles?
Thanks!

So it is actually quite easy what you need to look out for: flights in C or F, operated by LH, LX, LO, SN, OS or EW.

Baggage 14 hour layover in FRA
I will be traveling from CLJ (Romania) to ATL. I have an overnight layover (8pm-10am) in FRA. Will I be required to pick up my checked luggage or will it be checked all the way to ATL? Also, what time should I arrive at FRA for a 10:20 am departure? Thanks.
