Are you sure? It wasn't two days ago. Only main terminal FCL.

Wow, no I’m not, I was going on what HON line told me two days ago, for sure your observation would be more accurate

I'll try and double-check Tuesday evening. The only lounge that was open when I was there was the Senator one, operating as one-lounge concept. All lounges in main T2 were open except G24 lounge, which will stay closed until end April (at least). Opening times vary.

Those hours are wrong though - NS (L level) lounge is open until 17:00, S (K level) is open until 22:00. Definitely longer than 16:00. I didn't leave it until about 18:30.

So after a long time where the website was outdated, it seems that now the website is up-to-date but the physical signage is wrong... oh LH, get it together.

I can confirm the Senator lounge is open until 22;00.
I've left there at 21:35, having a late flight, and they were just about to close.

Great to see the FCL in FRA Terminal A being open until 2130h again. However, I was there tonight around 8 pm and found the buffet quiet empty and limited choices. On the good side they prepared some stuff fresh when asked.

How is the catering at the FRA FCL and FCT these days? Is it back to pre-COVID standards?

Bad news, after rumours over the last week or so, FCL A closed for some time today due to staff shortages.

I wasn’t there so don’t have first hand information.

LH are apparently re-evaluating the restart programme and may close FCL A again or return to restricted (AM) operating hours. Just appalling imo.

and I’m getting a bit fed up with queuing to get through immigration and then walking to the FCT, which is pretty crowded at times, rather than FCL B.

If I am originating in FRA as a HON, but flying out of B gates on SQ, can I clear security in A to visit FCL-A? And then walk through to B gates? Or would I be forced to clear security in B?
Also, in walking from A to B, is there security screening again, on top of passport control?

Thanks!
