No spa at the FCT, only at the FCL. But nothing to write much home about...

That is not the procedure at FCL B, they ask you to come & wait at the desk area at a certain time they pre determined or scheduled boarding time, sure if you if you ignore that request, they will have to come & find you, totally different from FCT

Spa at FCL B is same service as SEN B allegedly although not been there in many years, just what Staff told me, & you have to pay for the Spa unlike TG at BKK where in F it’s complimentary but also EK & CX, even BA at CCR

No, the PA at the lounge came to pick me up from my seat at the window.

The spa offer is actually the poorest offer at the F facilities.

Point I’m trying to make is that at FCT you have a dedicated PA assigned upon arrival at FCT & if the shift changes while you are there they come & introduce you to the replacement.
At FCL A & B they don’t have dedicated PA’ s assigned, it’s never been staffed that way.

I am usually not there for so long (e.g. last time the PA said when I entered that she would come and get me in 45 minutes...) and also not so often, as I try to avoid FRA as much as possible. The vast majority of my F-travel is now via ZRH and MUC, as I like both airports better than FRA and both lounges (with outdoor terraces overlooking the airport) better than anything LH offers at FRA. Use FRA only when I go to places like GIG.

Surprised if that happened every time....

I have a similar dilemna, flying out to Hong Kong from the UK and looking at LH F from either Fra or Muc or LX.
i used to live in Munich and appreciated the airport at MUC, is the treatment for F on par with Fra?
i flew back from HKG a few days ago on Cathay F into SFO. Out of all the first class products I have been on Cathays hard product is superb and certainly deserves a special mention.

Particularly for connecting passengers, I would consider the MUC experience easily on par if not superior to FRA.

LH inbound via MUC, better ground experience over FRA.
