Could someone recommend a FRA lounge that I could use on my layover LHR-FRA-YVR next Thursday
I’m arriving in FRA at 9.05 and my connecting flights departs at 13.35 ie 4.5 hour layover.
I’m travelling alone and looking for a quiet place where I can have a nap for a couple of hours and possibly a shower.
I’m a non-status Business Class passenger.
The LH website says that I have access to Senator Lounges; however, reading above this appears to be no longer the case.
Any recommendations?

If your YVR flight departs from B go to the B43 Senator Lounge.
At the moment, the offerings at all Senator & Business Lounge's at FRA are the same thus the branding of the lounge wouldn't matter.
Just to note that the A26 and B24 Business Lounge's still have the to-go concept for those unvaccinated and for those who doesn't have a negative COVID test issued within the last 24 hours, so avoid those if possible.

If your YVR flight departs from Z go to the Z Senator Lounge, although if the Z Business Lounge is open you would be sent upstairs to the Business section.

I apologize if this is off-topic. I will be connecting YVR-FRA-HEL this December on LH business. Any thoughts on if 1h40m is enough to transfer and enjoy a lounge for a bit, or if I should change to a 5h25m layover instead? Thanks

If you had access to the FCL/FCT, 2/3 hours could be OK, but no way in the Biz/Sen lounge.

As the previous poster, more4less , mentioned; it wouldn't be worth taking a longer layover just for the Biz/Sen Lounges.

I am traveling LH F through FRA on 9/1. In the past I had access to the FCT when arriving in LH first, departing LH biz. Is this still the case?

A family were denied entry since their 6 year old didn't have a negative test result.

FCT reopens on 1st September & will then be the only FCL in operation at FRA, yes you would be able to use it arriving in F connecting to J.

I'm in A13 right now and they similarly checked vax cards before boarding passes for entry.
