We will see what happens with the lounges now that the German gov. just imposed a hard lockdown. Hope the showers stay available.

Hi All
Should have asked this earlier, I am flying LHR-FRA-JNB tomorrow and as I understand it on the LH website the Z lounges are closed in FRA. Does this mean I should be using the A lounge (landing at gate Z17 from LHR apparently) and then leave the lounge a little earlier than usual to make sure I have time to get through passport control? |

Alright, thanks for that, Yeah I know the lounge offering is pretty dismal currently.
Is it usual for LHR flights to land at Z gates? I thought they were mainly A and B |

B was common in pre-covid times but there has been some consolidation onto Z this year. |

Ahh, Thanks for all the info, first time flying LH so want to make it as smooth as possible.

Just an info point from today. The passport queues from A-Z were extremely long. We were lucky they opened up a new lane Lots of people were panicking about missing fights. Frankfurt is very busy at the minute. I would allow extra time to get through passport control A-Z, at least 20-3 minutes. The non-EU queue was even longer. Seems like lots of people flying home for holidays. Our flight to MEX is completely full - J class sold out, Y also looking pretty packed. To bear in mind when transferring in Frankfurt this weekend. Also, most shops are shut, and indeed the only lounge (as far as I could see) is around the central concourse near the A gates.
Good luck with the transfer! |

You'll be up for two trips through passport control (Z->A and A->Z) to get to a lounge with a ban on consuming food and drink and at most a to-go snack bag when you leave the lounge.

Can you buy a “take-away beer” somewhere at the airport 😊?

So only the Senator A lounge is open presently? Were the showers open?
I'm landing in B and departing Z. How about the welcome lounge? got 5 1/2 hours. |
