Is the sleeping room with a few reclining chairs dark enough to get a real nap? Or is it out in the open around the other chairs?

I will soon be flying DTW-FRA-TLV in LH 'C.' Would love to visit the Welcome Lounge. My layover in FRA will be 100 minutes - is this enough time to visit the Welcome Lounge?
Looks like my flight to TLV will be leaving from C13 - how much time should I allocate for getting there (including security checkpoints along the way?) Thanks, Bostonbali |

it is a separate room and it is darker. You can get a nap.

It's a long time since I checked the room and things may have changed but I seem to remember it was separated from the business area by a frosted glass partition and wasn't as dark as the snooze areas you find in some SEN lounges.

Once in CDG, I visited the AF arrivals lounge where it was a completely dark room of four chairs, and I slept for 4-5 hours, it was great! |

Really looking forward this lounge actually!
We are booked in business for the following flights: LH403 EWR > FRA arriving 7:25 AM with a connection to VCE at 12:20pm. This should be a good way to shower, eat nap during the connection time. (We were unable to book the earlier FRA - VCE flight. |
Welcome Lounge Access for UA C arrivals
I had no problem entering this morning on a UA C ticket. Simply showed the agent my boarding pass stub.

Welcome lounge vs. SEN
Flew BOS-FRA-HEL in C early this week. Just wanted to thank the FTers who recommended going landside and using the welcome lounge. Great advice!!
Came in at 0600. After a short wait at passport control (as we came in non-Schengen from the US) got landside quickly, lounge well marked. As I walked in and showed my BP I was immediately offered a shower, which I enjoyed greatly!!! Then had a liesurely breakfast, including hot eggs and meats, plus a lot of cold stuff. Really first rate food (somehow I had thought they did cooked-to-order, but that is not the case). At that time of day the lounge was quiet and not very full. I also visited the SEN lounge out in the Schengen A gates. By this time it was closer to 0800. It was packed - took a while to even get a seat. Food / drink selections much more limited. Still quite a decent lounge, but I sure made the right move by spending the bulk of my time in the welcome lounge, and would not have thought of going landside without the advice here. Thanks, gang! |
I'm looking at changing an existing award booking (as availability has popped up) from YYZ-(messy routing)-MRS to YYZ-FRA-MUC-MRS (all LH metal, in J).
It looks like I have 2 options: 4h05 at FRA, and then 1h45 at MUC or 1h55 at FRA, and then 3h55 at MUC The FRA welcome lounge looks great, and after reading this thread and a couple of other posts, I'm thinking option 1 is looking better (sleep all the way through on the flight, shower and breakfast in the FRA welcome lounge, and time to nap or work depending on how I feel before the MUC flight). I have a couple of questions: 1. Is it paid-for wi-fi in the lounges at both FRA and MUC? And if yes, any idea how much it costs? 2. Everything I am reading so far makes me think option (a) above will be better... am I missing something, or is there anything else I ought to be aware of? I'm travelling on my own, with either all carry-on or 1 checked bag, never transited throuh FRA before but flown in/out of there once before. Thanks! |

For someone who's arriving from IAD with UA F and leaving for NRT with LH F, 6 hours later, do you guys recommend using this place opposed to other lounges? I'm arriving at 7am and don't mind taking a shower and hot breakfast before heading to NRT (11 hours flight!). Thanks.
I can't compare the Arrival Lounge to those, but it is *waaay* better than any of the SEN lounges in FRA. |

I can't access the price info right now but the charge is something like €8 per hour? As a Business Class passenger (not *G) you'll only have access to the Business Lounges in MUC. The Welcome Lounge in FRA is definitely a better option. You may also like to check the FRA connection thread. |
