VIE is a easier to navigate than CDG. The red uniforms are nice, too.

Granted, I like OS service very much, and connecting in Vienna is always pleasant.

The AF seat is nothing to write home about. I have not recently flown OS but the tilted seat can be no worse than that on AF.

Yes, I love the BA seat (did several segments with them last summer), but this would entail several more hours and much more $$$.

The cheapest ticket for a nonstop connection on LH.com is actually >500 EUR (and gives 1876 miles).
There are cheaper connections via FRA or DUS (even with a good mileage-ratio).

Hope you can help me, I (fortunately) haven't had to fly over FRA for quite a while. Now I sponsered my better half ( ) a trip in business class ZRH - FRA - CAN and way back NKG - FRA - ZRH. (120.000 miles, I loved you...)
Obviously, ZRH will have her in the LX business lounge (as it will be from Gate A) but what about FRA? I know they did some serious changes of the business lounges, and last time I've been there the lounge was massively overcrowded (That was in the Schengen-part.. fortunately not enough experienced in FRA to already be able to know all the layout myself, I think it was the C/SEN lounge near Gate A28 iirc)
As she got around 3 hours to spend in FRA, I assume she is best off to move into Non-Schengen area and go into the closest lounge from her gate and wait there.. and here is where I have absolutely no clue, neither where the flight to NKG will depart from (usually) nor which lounge she should take. I guess if the closest lounge is crap she could find another further away one too (She is not a frequent traveller but could do CDG alone, so I guess she should be fine)
On the way back, to ZRH, I guess it will be just the lounge close to Gate A28 (which hopefully won't be crowded now they opened other longes too?)
Oh, and I assume I read correct on LH page that NKG doesn't have any lounge to use for LH passengers?
Last question, I hope it was smart to choose Lufthansa C over Austrian C in their 767 to PEK (for the flight eastwards, it didn't matter if CAN or PEK) - while I heard good things about catering from Austrian, seats should be much worse, right? (I know only the LH seat in C, which I think is fairly decent)
Thanks a lot for your help ^
