Yes, I’ve seen it’s open because Herr Schröder (the only Lifetime 5* HON Private Jet King Customer) reported it was terrible on his Insta!

Well better than nothing, thanks!

Also slight offtop but anyone knows when Swiss open their check in/bag drop desks? Standard 3h before the flight I assume?

Not flown LX ex-DXB but I've found in intercontinental stations that LX opens at least 3 hours before, they might accept your bags earlier if there is a LH flight?

check this:
https://www.lufthansa.com/se/en/late...parture%20gate.

On selected airports you may drop off your luggage even the day before.
Unfortunately, I don't think DXB is on that list.

In the MUC T2 non-Schengen SEN I was refused any kind of cocktail. Told it's not offered anymore since Covid. I asked what the overflowing mint, limes, brown sugar etc I could see on the bar were for...? "decoration" came the answer.

I pointed out that LH had issued a communication to say the bar had reopened with its bartender, and not shut cos of Covid, the opposite I said, the reply "old information".

What is a bartender? Something else in German...?

K has a staffed bar, but it's never been sold as a bartender and never offered cocktails. There was always a distinction between K and L SEN lounges.

I suspect they just couldn't be bothered.

Just a newbie question, is that lounge a *G lounge (non-Schengen lounge)? Going through there in mid September on our way back from Norway. Also, do they let you buy access if you're not *G nor flying first? We're a party of 3.

Who is operating FRA-BKK for you? LH or TG?

Lounges are currently "3G" which means you should be ok being double vax'd.

SEN lounges are open to *G. The MUC T2 lounges (K&L) are currently operated as unified lounges, all in C and *G can enter.

Are you sure about MUC? They were separated a few months back when I flew through there.

My experience also, but late at night they consolidated them when the numbers were low

In the T2 Satellite(K&L) there is no separation. In the T2 main building (G&H) the C/SEN is sperated.
