You might have a slight chance by then but don't keep hopes high.
By the way, the Business Lounge in A13 is now open from the morning till the evening rather than only the mornings.

You can eat inside the lounge of course unlike in Germany

Hi all, had a quick question about the Senator lounge at IAD. On LH’s website it’s listed as closed on Wednesday’s and fridays but LH is operating daily flights to fra. So I was wondering is this information accurate or is that lounge indeed open every day to cater to LH passengers? Thanks very much!

regardless it’s probably better to head over to Turkish. Heard they have food and open bar, if you need any of that stuff

What's the current status of that TK lounge? Pre pandemic I would always use TK over LH. But looking at recent pictures of people who have been through both it seems LH is putting more substantial food items than TK is (please correct me if I'm wrong). I saw pictures where TK just had yogurts, crackers, and boiled eggs whereas LH had sandwiches and salads. Unless things have changed now? thanks

The TK Lounge in IAD has full bar service available but limited food which are all pre-packaged ( chickpea salad, eggplants, vegetarian wrap, chocolate chip cookies, chips ). They don't offer their hot buffet which they offered pre-COVID.



I have visited both recently and they both have significantly reduced service. During the afternoon while the TK Lounge only had the items that I mentioned above, the LH Lounge only had chips, muesli bars and a cold pre-packaged chicken&caesar salad.

The yogurt, cracker and eggs should be the morning time offering of the TK Lounge.

Can confirm the TK lounge was like this at the end of March.

Can anyone confirm if the LH lounge still only has chips/bars/salads? I will be passing through in two weeks and *really* want their steak back.

Yeah these is why I was wondering how accurate that website info is that the LH lounge is closed on Wednesdays and Fridays. I can't imagine they would close a lounge on days where their own airline is operating out of there(yes I checked LH is operating on the days they claim that lounge is closed). Chicken caesar salads sound something sumptuous at least. Might want to pay a visit to both, but I suppose that depends on if LH will be open.

The website hours were not accurate during my visit as well. My LH flight last month was at 19:00 and the website stated that the lounge would close at 17:30, thus it remained open until my LH flight boarded.

By the way, it's not worth paying $49 for the TK Lounge or the LH Lounge.
Definitely not worth it for a dedicated seating area.

MXP & JFK will be closed due to low numbers (eg JFK only had 5-10 guests per day). FRA A26 may be next depending on the visitor numbers. ZRH & VIE are very low, LH is trying to avoid closures (and move to to contract lounge) like they had to do in March.

EU citizens will be allowed to go into the G concourse, but unless anything changes its not worth the effort... you just get to sit in the former C lounge area and collect a sandwich at the exit... :p
