In J indeed so that should have been fine.
Wasn't aware of the special rate for additional companions for HON/F, thanks chris63

I've only tried that AC lounge once, it wasn't bad but to say that it is that much better than the the SEN one? Not sure.

Well, had to do the same thing myself recently, since LH are so cheap, stopped providing one time use FCL access vouchers, went to B SEN lounge , picked up another colleague , who was at AC ML lounge, stayed there, better food, beverages, nice view, not crowded, neither pax were on my flight.

Contrast that to LX, you can guest anyone as F pax or HON on any inbound or outbound *A flight, LX core customer care listen to HON feedback 👍

I prefer the Sen B to the AC lounge, especially last time I was there. A buddy and I were heading to Tokyo/Seoul on buddy trip. The bar is nice and we managed to plow through all the cocktails 🍹

Interesting, the quality of the alcohol, brand wise looked better to me at AC ML & you could have had fun making your own cocktails 🍸

Just to set the record straight, this is what you can expect if you paid for entry at Breakfast time in the FRA FCL’s \ FCT

People seem to disagree with you.

Back on topic: There are ways to get access to the LH FCLs other than F tickets or HON status.
Do these include a crowbar and a ladder?

Note that the buffet is only for people who want to eat quickly. If you have the time any and all food in the FCT/FCL should (and is supposed to) be ordered ala carte.

Yes, the Menu card is on each table & an American guy was having Steak & Eggs this morning & that’s not even on the Menu 👍

That’s definitely a nicer set of pictures, but the food still isn’t worth 50 EUR unless you’re eating two meals there (or engorging on breakfast, as I frequently do).

I’m sure the food is good.

well, I actually had to argue a couple of times to get some fresh pasta when the one at the buffet looked like it sat there a while...
in FRA, most waiters will tell you that only the food that’s not on the buffet is made to order.

Yes this has happened to me too. When ordering eggs, told to use the buffet.

Guess it’s harmless if you’re HON and use the lounges countless times. Would stink if you paid 200 EUR only to be confronted with that attitude.

Stopping by the entrance and asking passing HONs to guest you?
