It’s a very arduous trial but I’m persevering....... credit to Lufthansa, who are part funding my trial at the FCT Whiskey Bar 🥃.

BTW: We did go down to the Air France lounge as well, but it was much more crowded and that lounge is just a little depressing. Lufthansa space is so much better.

I think it is due to Covid in so much as they let their license lapse at the end of 2020 and never renewed for 2021. The staff said it was a license issue as opposed to Covid protocols. In MA, all on-premise and off-premise (and indeed all wholesale/import) licenses run on a calendar year basis. There is no pro-rating of the license if you apply in October; you pay the full year regardless. They're probably being cheap and don't want to pay full cost for 2-3 months. I bet we see alcohol back at the first of the year. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

Doesn’t it dawn on the intern that’s in charge of lounge provision that LH competes with AF & here is a glaring comparison, one airline cares about their premium pax & FF & the other doesn’t.....

Let's hope full service returns at the latest with the new calendar year.

As of a few weeks ago the Air France lounge had a bartender/attendant, however, the bartender/attendant wasn't always present so people were also serving themselves.

Still no alcohol, but the First Class Closet is open and we were supposed to board from the lounge but it’s 25 minutes before takeoff and everyone’s been queued up for 10 minutes but no movement.

Can't believe LH still hasn't addressed this. Could just go to the AF lounge I guess.
