Have not been to MXP since the new lounge opened. Can the new lounge be accessed on arrival or is it impossible to get into the departure area after deplaning?
Thank you very much.

MXP arrivals deplane into a level below the departures. I saw some signs pointing towards transit, so I would assume you can get to the departures level, the question is if there is a security checkpoint there and if anyone is checking your credentials.
That said the new MXP lounge is rather nice. Sadly it got very crowded on the friday evening I was there. This meant the wifi was super slow, which made watching Spain vs Portugal on my phone very painful. The TV in the lounge was set to BBC world and the attendants were not allowed to change it to the match.

The way from the arrival level to the departure level was exactly what I was worried about, as I have never connected at MXP, only arrivals and departures. Has anybody here ever tried?

Had an early morning flight out of MXP and was shocked at how good the LH lounge was! Didn't expect an outstation lounge to have freshly made espressos to order, an extensive F&B offering rivaling most hotel buffet breakfasts, and spacious bathrooms. Bravo Lufthansa! The F&B selections were easily at the SEN lounge level.
Which other outstation lounges are like MXP?

I don't have an earlier point in time to compare the lounge quality to, but as of a few days ago, I thought the MXP lounge was super! Thanks for the tip about BOS- I'm intrigued by its a la carte dining for F passengers.

In Europe, MXP and ATH are certainly among the best.

I certainly agree on these 2 as some of the best lounges in the LH system. The one in ATH is really a notch above any Senator lounges in FRA or MUC, although one small comment of the ATH is that the Greek culture of just using the lounge for entertaining their own personal (was during Christmas when I passed through and they had a sort of lunch gathering for the handling agent of LH in the lounge where the just use the F&B facilities of the lounge for their lunch "celebration" - admitedly it did not bother much of the other lounge users).
Cheers!
