I'm arriving to Frankfurt from LAX (LH457) and have a 6 hours layover until my flight to MAD.
Since I'm arriving at 11:00 AM I got some time to go to the Welcome Lounge and enjoy... AFAIK it closes at 12:30 PM, so I only get to enjoy for lets see, one hour or hour and a half since I still need to move from the gate till the lounge which if I'm not mistaken is in another pier. After that, what Business Lounge do you guys recommend me to use to wait for my next flight?
I'll certainly take shower and have breakfast in the WL and would love to watch some movies, relax and sleep a little bit before my next flight. Is it complimentary the Wi-Fi in the Business Lounge?
Thanks guys!

The best Business Lounge for you before departure is the new Pier A Business Lounge (close to gate A13) though it could be quite crowded. There is free Wi-Fi in the lounge but the speed may not be very fast.

The Senator lounge at the A+ pier has got a quite section with lounge chairs that should fit you well, sadly dunno if the business section has those as well.

If the place is nearly deserted when you are there, the bandwidth should be adequate. Otherwise, don't count on doing any bandwidth-intensive work with any degree of success...

The last admission is 12:30 but the Welcome Lounge is landside (behind baggage claim B) so depending on your arrival gate and your passport, allow up to 30 minutes after landing to get there. They won't kick you out until at least 1:00 PM.

Sadly, I'm not a Senator yet an just FTL so I can only enjoy the Business Lounge...

Apologies for not reading the entire thread, but on Monday I'm flying TXL-FRA en route to DEN in LH FC. I know arrivals from overseas flights can't access the LH FRA First Class Terminal, but is that the same situation for people departing internationally? (but whose flights originated outside of Frankfurt) Also, while I'm aware of the lovely chauffeured car service for FRA departees, is there any substantive difference between the First Class Terminal and the two FC Lounges inside FRA's terminals? Just wondering if I should bother exiting and going through Customs again (and, if I did, whether I'd even be allowed in! - I only have a two-hour layover btw).

Anyway, you should have no problem leaving the main terminal when you arrive from TXL and walking to the FCT. The alternative would be the FCL B but you will have to walk through the tunnel and passport control to get there. Walking to the FCT would be just as quick. The FCL A won't be ideal as you will have to clear passport control on your way to the departure gate after your stay in the lounge.

They will probably remind you sometime around 1:00PM that the lounge is closing. You certainly won't be able to stay there until 4:00PM. Most people don't stay there very long - just long enough for a shower and breakfast.
