Lufthansa First Class Lounge [FCL] restart
 
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...49e03340c0.png
On Lufthansa webpage about FCT:
*** Temporarily closed *** Due to the decline in demand caused by the spread of the coronavirus/COVID-19, the Lufthansa First Class Terminal will be closed until further notice.
https://www.lufthansa.com/ee/en/lounges

Fingers crossed, that "Temporarily" is really Temporarily

There is not much point in keeping it open when 90% of your capacity is cut. LH needs to preserve cash now so it makes sense to shut it down until things pick up again. I don't see much first class travel happening in the next few weeks anyway.

I agree!
Just letting know.

I think all of us will keep fingerss crossed that all that crisis with restrictions etc will end soon, within few months.

And special ducks too.

On a serious note, I’m surprised that they didn’t shut it many days ago.

Was there yesterday, it was deserted

rstruthe Mar 20, 2020 6:25 pm

Isn't it always deserted? The last two times I've been through, I was the only person. and that was before all this S**T happened!

NYC1 Mar 20, 2020 9:15 pm

Depends on the time of the day and day of the week. Business days/in the morning are always busy. Afternoon on the weekends significantly less. Rarely deserted.

NYC1 Mar 20, 2020 9:17 pm

Note that not only is the FCT closed but also FCL A and FCL B. OP maybe change title.

No, or LH wouldn’t operate it

Yes, its changing fast.
I was there 1 week ago. I entered to FCT 10 minutes after it did open and was for 30 minutes only one, but around 10am there was quite lot of poeple.
Btw got very fast and efficient help from FCT assistant -- bypassed 3 segments on 2 tickets and was finally at home 2 days earlier. Their service is very exceptionally great!

Yesterday (friday) FCL A was open with shortened times but yes according to lufhtansa.com, now everything is closed.

I hope they will re-open the FCT when this is all over. Would be a shame if some of the rumors would come true and this is a catalyst to close the FCT for good.

FCL restart
 
Frankfurt FCL A will reopen on 27.7.20 while FCT and FCL B remain closed.


All times are GMT -6. The time now is 9:42 pm.
