Another IAD lounge question
What is the setup for LH in IAD? i do hope its not the RCC. The site suggests there is a generic Star Alliance Lounge. I cant seem to find any other lounges on the map of the terminal. We are flying LH419 to Fra

However, this lounge is still nothing to write home about. Everything is placed very narrow together, so you can't feel comfortable. Food and drinks is for free and not too bad in particular in comparison to the RCC.

I honestly would not consider using the NW lounge, but rather go for the RCC lounge opposite the gate where FRA419 leaves. The NW lounge is pretty run down, and food offerings are definitely not much better. But seating comfort at the RCC and the size of the RCC lounge itself is definitely way better than the dreadful NW lounge. Whenever I have a flight that leaves from B (the Munich flight, or the early afternoon Frankfurt one), I always go back to the RCC - and there is a direct "mobile lounge" connection between the two terminals so you don't have to go all the way back to the main terminal.
