First Timer FCT Questions...
Will be flying on a *A RTW in Jan.
-- NRT-FRA-VRN all on LH
1. I will get access to the FCT on this routing even though my outbound is in C - correct?
2. I will not be met when I arrive from NRT but will have to clear immigration and walk outside to the FCT - correct?
3. They will drive me to my FRA-VRN flight
- VRN-FRA-GVA LH to LX connection
1. I will get access to FCT lounge as I am traveling on a F ticket even though it is a C-to-C connection
2. I will not be met at my flight VRN-FRA
3. I will not be driven to my FRA-GVA flight unless I can book it under the LH code - correct?
Do they ever meet incoming pax for a sedan transfer to the FCT?

Second trip - no to all three unless you are LH HON
Even though you have a F RTW - these segments are booked in C / Biz and hence you have no access - booking class is the determmining factor - or same day F connection (in or outbound).
Lastly - pick up is planned starting around Nov 1 - for HON - for F an alternative is planned - see seperate thread.
Cheers

FCL in FRA Gates A or FCT- Transfer to plane
Hi,
I have a booked Trip to SIN begin of November flying FRA-SIN in F on LH.
My schedule shows a transit time in FRA of 1h 30 minutes.
To make my transit comfortable I prefer using the FCT or the F lounge at the A-gates and not the optional use of F-class lounge at the B satellite .
I shurely will arrive with the A Gates and I am thinking about to use the F-class/HON lounge at the A26 gate instead of rushing to the FCT.
Since my conneting flight will depart from B 4? will LH provide car transfer from the F-class Lounge A gates to the plane departing B gate?
If not is it then still better/worthwhile to vist the FCT allowing some more time in the lounge?

However, for FRA there is no gate guarantee for specific flights. There is a frequent change of the gates and it may happen on a daily base. So there is a chance your SIN flight leaves from A65, which is 50 feets away from the A26 FCL.
Once in a while there is even a chance for tarmac loadings, mainly for A330 and A343 but it can happen for a 744 too.

There is no car transfer from A26 to the B gates. So it may make sense to visit the FCL still.

Personally I think I would use FCL in A, then pass through passport control next to FCL and take the train to B. Less time and security checks than FCT.

.... and depending where you arrive it might even make sense to walk over to the FCT. If arrival gate is in the range of A10, the distance to the FCT might be about the distance to A26. And this certainly prevents you from walking from A26 to B something which can take 10 to 20 minutes.

Ceiling in FCT Showers
Just noticed this...the ceiling in the FCT showers is perforated, allowing one to see up into the rafters, etc.
Kind of weird to have a ceiling like that in a bathroom.
Me, I really don't care if somebody's up there and wants to see my "stuff," but I'm curious if others would be concerned.
That said, I'll gladly put up with a peek-a-boo shower to use the FCT facilities.
