What is pdb? preferred delicious beverage? personal drink bar?
I personally think it is a shame that there is no f ground service in FRA any more. It would make flying so much more convenient and preferable in the current situation if there would be somethink to look forward to, e.g. a nice and calm lounge.
Even the HON fast lane does not exist anymore, there is a sign still showing it, but after passing the check it is redirected to the regular economy lane.
If Lufthansa would really want to encourage some more travel, they should look from a customer perspective and try to have some basic ground services back... Especially for the customers who were downgraded from F to C for the next 2-3 months, and for the HON customers flying expensive C tickets.

Pre departure beverage haha
i do think they need to open up a fcl lounge with good food and drinks soon, but they follow the lockdown rules in Germany so it’s not necessarily LH that has chosen to not open the lounges fully

What they should do is either open the FCL lounge or J lounges fully with food and drink options (especially F) but
allow people who’ve been vaccinated
or give people rapid tests before entering
or accept a negative PCR test within the last 72 hours
This way the risk of spreading corona is reduced while still allowing people to have lounge access with everything. Of course you’d still wear masks when not eating/drinking and distance.
Considering Austria is planning on opening bars/restaurants to people who show a negative test and is already allowing hair salons for people with negative covid tests, I don’t see this being too far from reality

Great... At their current rate of vaccination that means FCT / FCL might be able to re-open in 2030...

I’m thinking of upgrading my FRA-LAX to F next week. But before doing so I have a couple of questions:
1) I’m coming in from VCE on LH as well but on separate tickets, what will the ground experience be like if there is any? We will let VCE know that we want boarding passes all the way to LAX.
2) which lounges are currently used for F pax? Will we be able to visit the F lounge at the F terminal?
3) do they still drive you to the Aircraft? Will they pick us up by car on previous flight if on remote stand?
4) Is on board service back to normal?
5) If we upgrade using cash, will my fare code still be the same or will it upgrade to F or A or??? Currently on a P ticket.
thanks in advance

2: See above. FCT opens on 1 Sep and the FCL A closes the same day. You have to walk there from the main terminal building.
3: If after 1 Sep you might be lucky. Before 1 Sep definitely not.
4: Yes, full service albeit with masks.
5: Depends. Upfare or fixed amount upgrade means A, upgrade bid keeps P if Im not mistaken.
