With this much unbridled praise I may need to go out & buy a decent camera
Certainly, less than last time I was here but still sufficient to cause a delay to my flight... oh well..... since I’m from close to MAN it’s just got to be more Pommery Louise ......

Unfortunately all my upcoming F flights are via FRA and my next long-haul from MUC is in C; waitlisted for F, but has not cleared in weeks, i.e. probably no Sat lounge for me for a while.

The delay is clearly caused by weather, it happens, just again so thankful to be in one of the Worlds best FCL’s when that happens with fantastic & caring Staff, one has to give LH credit for that ^
They are going to drive me to the aircraft when it’s time to go & if it’s much longer they will have to pour me into the Porsche
Hope your waitlist clears !

Doubt my waitlist will clear, it is a companion award to SFO. (2 seats on a very busy route is not the ideal combination; it‘s F6 A2, let‘s wait and see ...)

I organized a flight of my father so he could enjoy LH First Class en route to JFK.
He will be arriving on LH2367 from ZRH at around 10:20 (presumably into K Gates) to the connect onto LH410 to JFK. (Presumably leaving from L25, although on sat and Sun it left from H, but mon to friday it was on L25).
To maximize his experience I have already instructed him to check-in at the ZRH-First Class Lounge, then move to the FCL A and have breakfast there to then move to the departing flight to MUC. In MUC, however, I lack a little experience, so I would be glad for a little feedback.
If he arrives into K Gates, as I assume, he will just walk to the FCL, go through passport control in the FCL, enjoy the time and the view in the Lounge, ask for a rubber duck, and then move to L25 for the departing flight. (I understand there is no limo transfer at all at MUC, unless you arrive/depart at/from a remote stand).
Are there any other things I need to keep in mind or that he might wish to experience/see?
Cheers

You got him covered!
FT maximization would be to check out both FCLs at both airports.
In MUC no limo transport except apron positions and last year they had pick up from A380 flights. Don’t know if they still do this. — Maybe tell him that the sat lounge is much nicer and that MUC has great champagne (unlike FRA).

If the flight ZRH-MUC...
- arrives at an apron position, your father should ask to be taken to the FCL closest to his departure gate.
- arrives in K and the connecting flight leaves from H -> go to the Lounge in T2 (close to H)
- arrives in K and the connecting flight leaves from L -> stay in the Satellite FCL
- arrives in G and the connecting flight leaves from H -> stay in the T2 FCL
- arrives in G and the connecting flight leaves from L -> go to the Lounge in T2S (close to L)

Great advice and I don't know how old your father is. If I were in the OP's shoes (and knowing how my dad & father in law behave) I would suggest the following:

Has not happened to me since the sat was opened.
BTW: It’s not my father.

So it does happen, to my surprise, my apologies to both of you.
Then I only have to add to what you had written that I would definitely recommend a trip to the FCL in the sat, no matter where the flight leaves from! It’s one of my top three lounges in the world.
Hope he enjoys the trip and that considers himself lucky have a great son to take such good care of him.

Mrs Lewis42 and I have a flight in November on LH F on the following routing...
CPT -> MUC -> CGN.
Which terminals will we likely end up in?
